IN5408 Diode designed as a high forward current and reverse voltage with a power dissipation of 6.25W. Hence also known as a power diode. 1N5408 Diode offers a maximum current carrying capacity is 3A and it can withstand peaks up to 200A. Hence these diode circuits designed specifically for less than 3A. Meanwhile, it provides a reverse current of 10uA which is quite negligible. These diodes have a slow recovery time so in modern electronics it is being replaced by other advanced diodes. These diodes manufactured in DO-201 Package and provides a repetitive reverse voltage of 1000V.
Applications of Diode
