Peak Forward Surge Current – 30A (8.3ms)
Forward Voltage Drop – ~0.7V
Cathode Marking – Stripe Band
1: The 1N4007 is the most widely used general-purpose rectifier diode in hobby electronics — a safe default choice for mains rectification, flyback protection, and reverse polarity protection.
2: Its 1000V reverse voltage rating provides a large safety margin in nearly all low-voltage and mains-derived DC circuits, making it a reliable "stock everywhere" component.
3: The most common use is as a flyback/snubber diode across relay coils and solenoids — placed in reverse bias (cathode to positive supply) to absorb the voltage spike generated when the coil is switched off.
4: The cathode (negative leg) is marked with a stripe band on the body — always verify orientation before soldering, especially in rectifier bridge configurations.
5: For higher current loads (above 1A), step up to the 1N5408 (3A); for fast signal-level switching, use the 1N4148 instead.
