Product details
Overview
1N5822 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 40 V, 3 A Schottky barrier rectifier in DO-201AD package, featuring 0.525 V forward voltage at 3 A and 70 A surge capability; used in high-efficiency DC/DC converters and SMPS secondary-side rectification.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5822 datasheet, 1N5822 pinout, 1N5822 application, or 1N5822 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, low VF for reduced conduction loss, DO-201AD thermal resistance of 40 °C/W, and AEC-Q101 qualification option (1N5822H) for automotive power supplies.
Technical Context
The 1N5822 operates as a single-die, unidirectional Schottky rectifier with metal–semiconductor junction enabling fast switching and low forward voltage. Its guard ring structure provides overvoltage protection, and pure tin-plated leads ensure J-STD-002 solderability.
Rated for continuous 3 A average forward current and 70 A non-repetitive surge (8.3 ms half-sine), it maintains operation from –55 °C to +125 °C junction temperature, with reverse leakage limited to 500 µA at 25 °C and 10 mA at 100 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in flyback or buck converter output stage |
| VF @ 3 A, 25°C | 0.525 V - low conduction loss enabling >90% efficiency in 5–12 V output SMPS designs |
| IFSM | 70 A - handles startup surges and transient load steps without failure in adapter applications |
| TJ max | +125 °C - supports operation in enclosed industrial power supplies with limited airflow |
| RθJA | 40 °C/W - requires minimal heatsinking when mounted on 1-in² copper pad for 3 A continuous use |
| IR @ 40 V, 25°C | 500 µA - low leakage preserves standby power budget in energy-efficient adapters |
Pinout & Package
DO-201AD axial-leaded package with cathode band marking; lead-free, RoHS-compliant, UL 94V-0 molded compound; weight ≈1.10 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (lead without band) | Current entry point under forward bias | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., transformer secondary center-tap or switch node) |
| Cathode (lead with band) | Current exit point under forward bias | Connected to output rail; polarity marking prevents reverse installation in PCB layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STPS340A | 40 V, 3 A, VF = 0.52 V @ 3 A; TO-220AC package (RθJA ≈ 50 °C/W) | Higher thermal resistance requires heatsink for same 3 A continuous load; larger footprint | Prefer when board space allows TO-220 mounting and higher surge margin is needed (IFSM = 100 A) |
| SS34 | 40 V, 3 A, VF = 0.55 V @ 3 A; DO-214AC (SMC) package, surface-mount | No through-hole leads; different thermal path and reflow profile; not drop-in for DO-201AD footprints | Choose for automated SMT assembly; verify PCB pad thermal relief and reflow profile compatibility |
Compared with STPS340A and SS34, the 1N5822 offers optimal balance of low VF, axial-leaded DO-201AD mechanical robustness, and proven field reliability in cost-sensitive through-hole power supplies-without requiring heatsinks below 2.5 A or layout redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage rating for the 1N5822?
The 1N5822 has a VRRM rating of 40 V, meaning it can block up to 40 V of reverse voltage continuously without breakdown. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version I2105), and applies strictly to the 1N5822-not the 1N5820 (20 V) or 1N5821 (30 V). Exceeding 40 V risks avalanche failure.
What is the forward voltage drop of the 1N5822 at its rated 3 A current?
The 1N5822 exhibits a typical forward voltage (VF) of 0.525 V at 3 A and 25 °C junction temperature, per the Electrical Specifications table. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) to avoid self-heating. At elevated temperatures or DC operation, VF decreases slightly due to negative temperature coefficient of Schottky diodes.
Is the 1N5822 available in an AEC-Q101 qualified version?
Yes-the 1N5822H is the AEC-Q101 qualified variant of the 1N5822, explicitly listed in the Ordering Information section. It shares identical electrical and thermal specifications but undergoes additional stress testing for automotive applications, including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and accelerated life testing per AEC-Q101 Rev D.
What package type does the 1N5822 use, and how is polarity marked?
The 1N5822 uses the DO-201AD axial-leaded package, with polarity indicated by a visible cathode band on one lead end. The band identifies the cathode terminal, which must connect toward the positive output rail. Mechanical dimensions and lead finish (pure tin plating) comply with J-STD-002 for reliable solder wetting.
How does the 1N5822 compare to standard PN-junction rectifiers like the 1N4007 in power supply designs?
The 1N5822 delivers significantly lower forward voltage (0.525 V vs. ~0.9 V for 1N4007 at 1 A), enabling higher efficiency and cooler operation in SMPS outputs. Unlike the 1N4007, it has no minority-carrier storage delay-eliminating reverse recovery loss-but trades off higher reverse leakage (500 µA vs. <5 µA), making it unsuitable for high-impedance hold-up circuits.
