I wanted to know if it is ok to use a 1n4007 in placement of a 1n4001. the reason I ask is that parts express don't carry 1n4001 anymore.. thanks

Yeah the last number is normally the amount of amps the diode can block.

mr shcult3 is right on. The last digit is usually a current rating...

I will usually use a 1n4005 or larger....
