1N5817_R2_00001

Overview

The Panjit International Inc. 1N5817_R2_00001 is a Schottky barrier rectifier in the 1N5817 series, housed in a DO-41 molded plastic case with axial leads. It features a maximum average forward current of 1A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 20V. The device exhibits low forward voltage drop and negligible switching losses, making it suitable for high-frequency applications. Electrical characteristics include a maximum DC blocking voltage of 20V, a peak forward surge current of 25A, and a typical thermal resistance of 80°C/W. Operating junction temperature ranges from -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Plastic package utilizes flame retardant epoxy molding compound with Underwriters Laboratory Flammability Classification 94V-O.
• Lead-free construction compliant with EU RoHS 2011/65/EU directive.
• Designed for low voltage, high frequency inverters, free wheeling, and polarity protection applications.

Applications

• Low voltage, high frequency inverters
• Free wheeling circuits
• Polarity protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging type and compliance status. The R2 code indicates Tape and Reel packing with a 7-inch reel size and RoHS compliance. Ensure the component meets the required environmental standards for the intended application. Confirm that the product is not designated for life-saving or high-reliability equipment as per manufacturer disclaimers.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a 1A continuous current rating and a 20V reverse voltage capability. Consider the DO-41 axial lead package for through-hole mounting requirements. Evaluate the thermal resistance and operating temperature range to ensure adequate heat dissipation. Verify that the low forward voltage characteristics align with the efficiency goals of the circuit design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N5817~1N5819 series of Schottky barrier rectifiers manufactured by Panjit International Inc. The series offers varying reverse voltage ratings while maintaining a consistent 1A forward current capacity. These devices are engineered for general-purpose rectification in power supply and conversion circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include 1N5818 (30V) and 1N5819 (40V), provided the higher voltage ratings do not conflict with circuit constraints. Other manufacturers produce equivalent 1N5817 specifications, but verification of pinout and electrical parameters is required.
