The purpose of ANY diode is to act as an electron check valve. Current flow goes one way only through the diode, which is called forward biasing. Some diodes, Zener diodes, have a reverse bias threshold. A Zener will allow flow backwards at a known specific voltage, which is very useful for providing a reference voltage to control and regulate a power supply. If I remember correctly, a 1N4001 is a 1A general purpose rectifier diode. I remember using 4 as a bridge in a power supply I constructed a while back.

1n4001 Diode Datasheet

1N is the generic name for "some" diodes. Depends on the manufacturer.
4001 refers to the characteristics of the diode, such as max permissible current and max reverse voltage.
Most of the time, the number (ie 4001) has no "meaning": you have to go to the manufacturer's data sheets to find out.
Example (not taken from data-sheets, but from memory):
1n4001 is 400V reverse voltage, 1 A forward current,
1n4002 is 400V, 2A
1n4003 is 400V, 5A etc...
Here, only the "400" part of the number seems to have a meaning. The last digit is the diode "series", with current varying from a few mils to several amps.
Go to a manufacturer web-site (i.e. motorola, Zetex, National Semi etc), then get the data sheet. Usually, a data-sheet will cover a SERIES of diodes.

It will allow one half a cycle of an ac waveform to pass, either + or - to covert it to DC, depending on the polarity of the diode. Full wave bridge rectifiers use both cycles of the ac to utilize the full cycle resulting in no missing space for the half of the cycle not used. The result is a cleaner DC and requires less capacitor to filter it to a steady DC. If the circuit has a low current draw sometimes half wave is more practical especially when a single winding transformer secondary is used and you need to covert it to a separate + and - (split supply). This is a cheap solution.

It's NOT a PNP diode. PNP is only applicable to a transistor.
1N are diodes
2N are transistors

hi.
i guess it is a PNP type diode..
and plus it depends on specifications i guess..
still u better check t out from some practical guide of electronic components.

It's a generic diode.Only lets current flow in one direction.
