Diode Variety Pack – 1N4007, 1N4148, 1N5819 & Zener Assortment
Diode Variety Pack
A curated set of essential through-hole diodes covering rectification, signal switching, low-voltage drop, and voltage reference applications. This pack provides the most commonly used diodes for breadboarding, repairs, and prototype builds in one convenient bundle.
Key Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| 1N4007 Rectifier | 1000 V peak reverse, 1 A forward, DO-41 |
| 1N4148 Signal | 100 V peak reverse, 200 mA forward, DO-35 |
| 1N5819 Schottky | 40 V peak reverse, 1 A forward, DO-41 |
| Zener Diodes (mixed) | 3.3 V, 5.1 V, 12 V, 15 V typical, 500 mW, DO-35 |
What You Can Build With This
- Full- or half-wave bridge rectifier for AC-to-DC power supplies
- Signal clipping and input protection circuits using 1N4148
- Reverse polarity protection with low forward-drop 1N5819
- Shunt voltage regulators or reference sources with Zener diodes
Compatibility
All diodes use standard 2.54 mm lead spacing and fit any breadboard or perfboard. They work directly with 3.3 V and 5 V platforms such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and common discrete transistor circuits. Pair with filter capacitors after rectification or add series resistors for Zener biasing.
Wiring Notes
Observe cathode polarity—the band marks the cathode end. 1N4007 handles up to 1 A without a heatsink in free air. Zener diodes always require a current-limiting resistor; typical values range from 220 Ω to 1 kΩ depending on supply voltage. Keep Schottky reverse voltage within 40 V to avoid breakdown.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino projects?
Yes, all diodes are through-hole and widely used in Arduino shields, power modules, and sensor interfaces. They fit standard 5 V logic and can handle the current levels typical in those builds.
What Zener voltages are included?
The pack contains a mix of common values: typically 3.3 V, 5.1 V, 12 V, and 15 V. The exact distribution may vary, but you will receive several different voltages suitable for regulation and clamping.
Can I use these as blocking diodes for a solar panel?
The 1N5819 Schottky diode is excellent for this purpose. Its low forward voltage drop (around 0.3 V at 1 A) minimizes power loss while preventing reverse current flow from battery to panel at night.
📦 Free Setup Handoff Document Included
