1N5819 SCHOTTKY BARRIER DIODE 1A 40V

Type: Schottky diode.
Maximum Reverse Voltage: Typically around 40 volts (V_R).
Average Forward Current: Rated for higher currents compared to standard rectifier diodes, often up to several amps depending on the specific model.
Forward Voltage Drop: Much lower than standard silicon rectifier diodes, typically around 0.3V to 0.45V at low currents.
Applications:
High-Frequency Rectification: Suitable for high-frequency switching power supplies due to fast switching characteristics.
Low Voltage Drop: Useful in applications where minimizing voltage drop is critical, such as in power efficiency considerations.
Reverse Current Protection: Often used in circuits to prevent reverse current flow with minimal voltage drop.
Characteristics:
Fast Switching Speed: Due to lower junction capacitance and faster recovery time compared to standard rectifier diodes.
Low Forward Voltage Drop: Provides efficiency benefits by reducing power losses.
Temperature Stability: Performs well across a range of temperatures, making it suitable for various environmental conditions.
