1N5824

Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5824 is a Schottky rectifier diode designed for through-hole axial mounting. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage of 30 V and an average rectified current capacity of 5 A. The forward voltage drop is specified at 370 mV when conducting 5 A, with a reverse leakage current of 10 mA at the rated 30 V. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to 125°C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Schottky barrier technology for low forward voltage drop characteristics
• Designed for high-efficiency power rectification applications
• Constructed for reliable operation across extended industrial temperature ranges

Applications

• Power supply input rectification
• Free-wheeling diodes in switching circuits
• Reverse polarity protection in electronic systems

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity and datasheet alignment before integration. Confirm that the specific manufacturing lot meets required environmental standards. Check for any product change notifications affecting pinout or electrical parameters. Ensure storage conditions comply with moisture sensitivity level requirements to prevent package damage during soldering processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component where low forward voltage drop is critical for efficiency. The 5 A current rating suits moderate power applications. Verify that the 30 V reverse voltage withstands peak circuit transients. Consider thermal management requirements given the 125°C maximum junction temperature limit for continuous operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the standard 1N58xx series of Schottky rectifiers manufactured by Microchip Technology. It shares functional similarities with other axial leaded Schottky diodes but offers specific electrical characteristics defined by its 30 V and 5 A ratings. The series is widely recognized for general-purpose rectification tasks requiring fast switching speeds.
