Product details
Overview
1N5822RL from STMicroelectronics is a 40 V, 3 A axial-leaded Schottky rectifier in DO-201AD package, optimized for low forward voltage drop (0.525 V at 3 A, 25°C), negligible switching losses, and fast recovery-used in DC/DC converters, battery chargers, and polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5822RL datasheet, 1N5822RL pinout, 1N5822RL application, or 1N5822RL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 80 A surge current capability, 150°C max junction temperature, and thermal resistance of 80°C/W (junction-to-ambient, 10 mm lead length).
Technical Context
This Schottky diode employs a metal–semiconductor junction to eliminate minority-carrier storage delay, enabling extremely fast switching with no reverse recovery time. Its low forward voltage minimizes conduction loss in high-frequency, low-voltage power stages.
The device features specified avalanche capability (1700 W, 1 µs pulse), dV/dt rating of 10,000 V/µs, and operates reliably up to 150°C junction temperature-making it suitable for compact, thermally constrained switch-mode supplies where thermal runaway risk must be mitigated.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in flyback or freewheeling configurations. |
| IF(AV) | 3 A at TL = 110°C, δ = 0.5 - Continuous DC current handling under defined thermal conditions. |
| VF (max) | 0.525 V at IF = 3 A, Tj = 25°C - Directly reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency in low-voltage outputs. |
| IFSM | 80 A (10 ms sinusoidal) - Withstands short-term overload during startup or fault transients without failure. |
| Rth(j-a) | 80 °C/W (lead length = 10 mm) - Quantifies self-heating under natural convection; critical for board-level thermal design. |
| Tj(max) | 150 °C - Enables operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial power modules. |
| dV/dt | 10,000 V/µs - Ensures stable blocking during rapid voltage transients common in SMPS snubber networks. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-201AD - Axial-leaded, epoxy-molded plastic case (UL94 V-0 rated), 9.5 mm body length, 25.4 mm overall length, 1.3 mm lead diameter, cathode identified by ring marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unmarked end) | Current entry point during forward conduction | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., ground side of buck converter low-side switch). |
| Cathode (ring-marked end) | Current exit point during forward conduction; reverse-blocking terminal | Connected to higher-potential node (e.g., output rail); polarity protection depends on correct orientation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage drop | 0.525 V @ 3 A, 25°C - Reduces power loss by ~30% vs. comparable PN rectifiers, improving efficiency in 3.3–12 V systems. |
| Negligible switching losses | No reverse recovery charge (Qrr ≈ 0) - Eliminates switching loss spikes and EMI in >100 kHz DC/DC topologies. |
| Avalanche-rated capability | 1700 W peak power (1 µs pulse) - Absorbs inductive energy safely during MOSFET turn-off in non-synchronous buck or flyback designs. |
| High dV/dt immunity | 10,000 V/µs - Prevents false turn-on in high-dV/dt noise environments like motor drive gate-drive return paths. |
| Wide operating temperature | −65°C to +150°C storage and operation - Supports deployment in automotive under-hood or industrial outdoor enclosures. |
Applications
| DC/DC Converter Output Rectification | Battery Charger Polarity Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SB340-TB | 40 V VRRM, 3 A IF(AV), VF = 0.55 V @ 3 A - Slightly higher forward drop; TO-277 surface-mount package. | Requires PCB rework for SMT assembly; lacks axial leads for through-hole prototyping or wire-ended modules. | Prefer for automated production where board space is constrained and thermal pad access is available. |
| SS34-E3/57T | 40 V VRRM, 3 A IF(AV), VF = 0.5 V @ 3 A - Lower VF; SMA package; Rth(j-a) = 65°C/W. | Higher thermal performance but smaller footprint; not mechanically compatible with DO-201AD mounting holes or axial wiring. | Choose when thermal margin is critical and mechanical redesign is acceptable. |
Compared with SB340-TB and SS34-E3/57T, the 1N5822RL offers proven axial-leaded reliability, UL94 V-0 epoxy housing, and direct compatibility with legacy through-hole power supply layouts-making it optimal for field-serviceable, low-volume, or ruggedized designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature and how does it affect layout?
The 1N5822RL has a maximum junction temperature of 150°C. To sustain this limit, PCB copper area and lead length must be controlled: thermal resistance is 80°C/W with 10 mm leads and no heatsink. For ambient temperatures above 75°C, derate average current per Figure 5-2, and avoid enclosing the diode without airflow.
Is the 1N5822RL suitable for synchronous rectification?
No - the 1N5822RL is a passive Schottky rectifier, not a synchronous MOSFET driver or integrated controller. It cannot replace active synchronous rectifiers (e.g., SR controllers + MOSFETs) but serves as the baseline diode in non-synchronous topologies where simplicity and cost outweigh marginal efficiency gains.
How does its avalanche rating compare to standard rectifiers?
Unlike most standard PN rectifiers, the 1N5822RL specifies a 1700 W repetitive peak avalanche power (1 µs pulse, 25°C). This allows it to absorb inductive energy safely during MOSFET turn-off in non-synchronous buck or flyback converters-reducing need for external clamping components.
Can it replace the 1N5821 or 1N5820 in existing designs?
Yes - the 1N5822RL is pin-compatible and functionally upward-compatible with 1N5821 (30 V) and 1N5820 (20 V) in DO-201AD. Its higher 40 V VRRM provides additional reverse margin, though forward voltage is slightly higher (0.525 V vs. 0.5 V and 0.475 V), requiring verification of conduction loss impact in low-VOUT designs.
