A
diode is a device which allows current flow through only one direction. That is
the current should always flow from the Anode to cathode. The cathode terminal
can be identified by using a grey bar as shown in the picture above. For 1N4007
Diode, the maximum current carrying capacity is 1A it withstand peaks up to
30A. Hence we can use this in circuits that are designed for less than 1A. The
reverse current is 5uA which is negligible. The power dissipation of this diode
is 3W.
