1N5406

LGE · Diodes - General Purpose · DO-27

1N5406 from LGE, in a DO-27. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 K passive Cathode, marked by the color band on the molded plastic case; the pin that sees positive voltage when the diode is reverse biased (VRRM 600 V for 1N5406).
2 A passive Anode, the end opposite the color band; conducts forward current up to 3.0 A average (I(AV) at TA = 75 °C) with VF of 1.0 V maximum at 3.0 A.
