1N400X diode interchangeability

[Pointy]

I'm going to be populating a Nautilus board, so I've been going through a diode grab bag to see if I've got the parts. I found a couple of 1N914 diodes, but no 1N4001 parts. I do however have several 1N4002, 1N4004, and 1N4006 parts. How different are they? They seem similar from the data sheet, but I'm deeply ignorant so I'm not sure that I'm reading it correctly.

Obviously I could just order some.

any of your 1n400x's you have will be fine

I think the difference between the 1N400X diodes is just the max voltage they can handle. Use a different one, I do it a fair amount of the time.

OK cool, that's what I thought.  I also found some 1N4001 parts hidden in a bag labelled, "1N4001".
