Schottky diodes have low forward voltage drop and fast switching speeds compared with a rectifier diode. Because of its high switching speed it is commonly used in Inverters and DC-DC Converters. The downside of the diode is that it has low reverse breakdown voltage. The features of the 1N5819 diode are: 

• Forward Voltage drop: 600mV @ 1A
• Reverse Voltage: 28V (RMS)
• Forward Current: 1A
• Forward surge current: 25A
• Guard Ring Die Construction for Transient Protection
• Low Power Loss, High Efficiency
• High Surge Capability
• High Current Capability and Low Forward Voltage Drop

 

1N5819 Diode Applications:

• Used to prevent reverse polarity problem
• Used as a protection device
• Used in Low Voltage High Frequency Inverters
• Current flow regulators
  
• Polarity Protection applications

Package Includes:

1 x 1N5819 Schottky Barrier Diode
