What is 1N5818?

What is 1N5818?

1N5818: 1.0 A, 30 V, Schottky Rectifier.

What is the purpose of Schottky diode?

Schottky diodes are used for their low turn-on voltage, fast recovery time and low-loss energy at higher frequencies. These characteristics make Schottky diodes capable of rectifying a current by facilitating a quick transition from conducting to blocking state.

What is a Schottky rectifier?

The Schottky diode or Schottky Barrier Rectifier is named after the German physicist “Walter H. Schottky”, is a semiconductor diode designed with a metal by the semiconductor junction. It has a low-forward voltage drop and a very rapid switching act. Actually, it is one of the oldest semiconductor devices in reality.

What is 1N5408 diode?

The 1N5408 from Diode Inc is an axial leaded general purpose rectifier in DO-201AD package. The device features diffused junction, high current capability and low forward voltage and low reverse leakage current. Maximum repetitive reverse voltage Vrrm of 1kV. Non repetitive forward surge current IFSM of 200A.

Is 1N4001 a silicon or germanium?

The 1N400x (or 1N4001 or 1N4000) series is a family of popular one-ampere general-purpose silicon rectifier diodes commonly used in AC adapters for common household appliances. The 1N540x (or 1N5400) series is a similarly popular family of diodes rated 3 Amperes.
