1N5817-TP

Overview

The MCC 1N5817-TP is a single Schottky barrier rectifier with a 20 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage and a 1 A average forward current rating. It utilizes metal-silicon junction technology for majority carrier conduction, resulting in low power loss and high efficiency. The device features an extremely fast switching characteristic with negligible reverse recovery time. It is housed in a DO-41 axial lead package designed for through-hole mounting.

Feature Summary

• Metal silicon junction construction ensures majority carrier conduction for minimal switching losses
• Guard ring protection structure enhances stability against transient voltage events
• Epoxy material meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating for safety compliance
• Lead-free finish and RoHS compliant manufacturing process

Applications

• Low voltage high frequency inverters
• Free wheeling diode circuits
• Polarity protection applications
• Switch mode power supplies

Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix -TP indicates standard tape and reel packaging containing 5000 pieces per reel. Confirm the absence of the -HF suffix to ensure standard halogen content rather than halogen-free composition. Purchase exclusively from authorized distributors to guarantee genuine parts with full traceability and adherence to MCC quality standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 20 V blocking capability is required alongside a 1 A continuous current rating. The DO-41 package is suitable for through-hole assembly processes. Ensure the operating junction temperature range of -55°C to 125°C aligns with the thermal environment of the target application circuit design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5817 through 1N5819 series of 1 Amp Schottky Barrier Rectifiers. The series covers voltage ratings from 20 Volts to 40 Volts. All variants share identical physical dimensions and electrical characteristics except for the specific peak repetitive reverse voltage rating defined by the model number.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering 1N5817 equivalents in the DO-41 package. Verify that substitute components maintain the same 20 V reverse voltage and 1 A forward current specifications to ensure functional compatibility within the existing circuit design constraints.

FAQ

What is the typical forward voltage drop at rated current?

The typical forward voltage (VF) is 0.45 V when measured at an average forward current (IF) of 1 A and a junction temperature of 25°C.

Does the device include internal protection structures?

Yes, the internal structure incorporates a guard ring protection mechanism to enhance reliability during operation.
