1N5826

Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5826 is a silicon Schottky rectifier designed for stud mount applications. It features a single diode configuration with a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 20 V and an average forward current rating of 15 A. The device exhibits a typical forward voltage drop of 700 mV at rated current and supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 600 A. Operating junction temperatures range from -55 °C to +150 °C, housed in a DO-4 package.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Schottky barrier technology for low forward voltage conduction
• Engineered for high surge current handling capability
• Designed for stud mount installation on heat sinks

Applications

• DC power supply rectification
• Free-wheeling diodes in inductive circuits
• Reverse polarity protection systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as GeneSiC Semiconductor also produces this part number. Confirm the specific datasheet version matches your design requirements. Ensure the DO-4 stud mounting interface aligns with your thermal management strategy. Check RoHS compliance status if required by your assembly specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, high-current Schottky rectifier is needed for low-voltage applications. The stud mount package facilitates efficient heat dissipation for continuous 15 A operation. Consider the 20 V reverse voltage limit to ensure adequate safety margins against transient spikes in the target circuit environment.

Part Context

This device belongs to the 1N58 series of power Schottky rectifiers manufactured by Microchip Technology. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings, such as the 1N5827 and 1N5828, allowing designers to scale voltage capabilities while maintaining similar current and packaging characteristics for standardized thermal solutions.
