M7 diode is a general purpose diode alternative to 1N4007 through hole type. This diode is comes in SMA (DO-214AC) packaging. This diode can handle 1000V reverse voltage and 1A forward current through the diode. This diodes are very common SMD type diode can be seen in many electronics boards.
What is M7 Diode?
M7 diode is a SMD version of 1N4007 diode. This surface mount diode can handle the forward current of 1A and revers voltage of 1000V. This diodes are particularly using for AC to Dc conversion by filtering the fluctuating input voltage and reverse polarity protection of circuit.
M7 Diode Pinout
Hold the diode marking side om left side, the marking side pin is known as cathode (-ve) and the opposite side of the diode is known as Anode (+ve ).
