1N4002 1A 100V Rectifier Diode

Type: Silicon rectifier diode.
Maximum Repetitive Peak Reverse Voltage: 100 volts (V_RRM).
Average Forward Current: Typically rated around 1 ampere (1A).
Peak Surge Current: It can handle short-duration surge currents higher than its average current rating.
Package: Generally available in the axial-lead package (DO-41).
Applications:
Rectification: Used in power supplies to convert AC (Alternating Current) to DC (Direct Current).
Reverse Polarity Protection: Prevents damage due to reverse polarity connections.
Freewheeling Diode: Used in inductive loads to handle back EMF (Electro-Motive Force).
