Product details
Overview
1N5809US from ON Semiconductor is a 60V, 3A axial-lead Schottky rectifier diode optimized for high-efficiency DC/DC conversion in switch-mode power supplies and low-voltage AC/DC adapters. It features 0.475V typical forward voltage at 3A, 30μA maximum reverse leakage at 60V, and operates from –65°C to +125°C. Its low forward drop reduces conduction losses in 5–24V output rails.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5809US datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include forward voltage vs. temperature stability, surge current rating (80A IFSM), junction capacitance (120pF), and compatibility with TO-204AA (DO-41) PCB footprints in high-reliability industrial and telecom power designs.
Technical Context
The 1N5809US employs a planar-doped, epitaxial silicon Schottky barrier structure enabling fast switching (no minority-carrier storage) and low forward voltage. Its metal–semiconductor junction delivers near-zero reverse recovery time (trr < 10ns), eliminating switching losses during turn-off in high-frequency converters.
Thermal performance is defined by a 65°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) under standard PCB mounting, and its 80A non-repetitive peak forward surge current (IFSM) supports inrush current handling in offline input stages without derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Reverse Voltage (VRRM) | 60 V - Withstands continuous reverse bias up to 60V without breakdown; suitable for 48V system inputs and 24V bus clamping. |
| Forward Current (IF(AV)) | 3 A - Rated average forward current at 75°C case temperature; supports sustained 3A DC output in compact SMPS designs. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.475 V @ 3A - Low conduction loss improves efficiency by >2% vs. standard PN rectifiers in 12V/3A outputs. |
| Peak Surge Current (IFSM) | 80 A - Handles cold-start inrush and transient overloads without failure; enables robust front-end protection. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 30 μA @ 60V - Minimal standby power loss in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications. |
| Junction Capacitance (CJ) | 120 pF @ 4V - Limits high-frequency noise coupling; compatible with EMI filtering requirements in FCC Class B systems. |
Pinout & Package
1N5809US is housed in a TO-204AA (DO-41) axial-lead package with cathode band marking. The package provides mechanical robustness for through-hole assembly and meets MIL-STD-202G vibration/shock requirements.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unmarked end) | Input current entry point | Connects to unregulated DC source or transformer secondary; polarity must be observed to avoid catastrophic short. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Output current exit point | Connects to output filter capacitor and load; band orientation defines forward conduction direction on PCB silkscreen. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low VF Schottky architecture | 0.475V @ 3A reduces power dissipation to ≤1.4W, enabling smaller heatsinks or no heatsink in 3A/12V designs. |
| No reverse recovery charge (Qrr ≈ 0) | Eliminates switching loss spikes and EMI generation during turn-off-critical for >100kHz flyback and buck converters. |
| High IFSM rating (80A) | Withstands 10× rated current for 1 cycle, supporting reliable operation during capacitor charging surges in offline PSUs. |
| Wide operating temperature range | –65°C to +125°C junction operation ensures reliability in automotive under-hood and industrial outdoor enclosures. |
Applications
| Power Supply Input Rectification | DC/DC Converter Output Rectification |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying 24VAC transformer output in industrial PLC power modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary unidirectional current path converting AC to pulsating DC before bulk filtering.

Use Value: 30μA IR at 12V ensures <15μW standby leakage-meets Energy Star Level VI no-load power limits. |
Use Scenario: Series-connected protection diode in 24V industrial sensor node power input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Blocking reverse voltage if external supply is miswired, preventing damage to MCU and transceivers. Use Value: 60V VRRM provides 150% margin over 24V nominal; TO-204AA mechanical strength withstands field wiring stress. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-3E60 | Same 60V/3A rating, but VF = 0.52V @ 3A; slightly higher thermal resistance (70°C/W). | Acceptable where 50mV VF penalty is tolerable; less efficient in thermally constrained spaces. | Select VS-3E60 only if legacy design uses Vishay footprint and thermal margin ≥5°C exists. |
| STMicroelectronics STPS3L60 | Lower VF (0.45V @ 3A), but TO-220AC package requires larger board area and different mounting. | Better efficiency but incompatible with DO-41 footprint; needs layout revision and heatsink integration. | Choose STPS3L60 when upgrading for efficiency and board space is not constrained; avoid for drop-in replacement. |
Compared with VS-3E60 and STPS3L60, the 1N5809US delivers optimal balance of low VF, DO-41 compatibility, and proven reliability in high-volume industrial power supplies-making it the preferred choice for cost-sensitive, space-constrained through-hole rectification.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the 1N5809US?
The 1N5809US has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +125°C. This rating allows continuous operation in ambient temperatures up to +75°C when mounted on a standard FR-4 PCB with 1-inch² copper pour, assuming 3A DC load and natural convection cooling. Derating is required above this ambient level per the device's thermal resistance curve.
Is the 1N5809US suitable for use in synchronous rectification circuits?
The 1N5809US is not used for synchronous rectification-it is a passive Schottky diode, not a controlled switch. However, it serves as an excellent freewheeling or output rectifier in non-synchronous topologies like flyback or forward converters. Its zero reverse recovery eliminates shoot-through risk when paired with active switches.
Does the 1N5809US meet RoHS and lead-free soldering requirements?
Yes, the 1N5809US is RoHS-compliant and qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020. Its termination finish is matte tin, rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds. The device passes JEDEC MSL Level 1 classification with unlimited floor life when stored properly.
How does the 1N5809US compare to standard PN-junction rectifiers in efficiency?
The 1N5809US achieves ~35% lower conduction loss than a comparable 3A/60V PN rectifier (e.g., 1N5408) due to its 0.475V VF versus ~0.95V. At 3A, this reduces power dissipation from ~2.85W to ~1.43W-enabling cooler operation, smaller heatsinks, and higher overall converter efficiency in 12–24V systems.
Can the 1N5809US be used in parallel for higher current handling?
Parallel operation of 1N5809US devices is not recommended without individual ballast resistors. Schottky diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficient VF behavior, leading to current hogging and thermal runaway. For >3A applications, select a single higher-rated part such as the 1N5822 (10A) instead.
