Product details
Overview
DSB5822 from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed 3 A Schottky barrier rectifier with 40 V reverse voltage rating, 0.40 V forward voltage at 1.0 A, 0.50 V at 3.0 A, and 0.70 V at 9.4 A, designed for high-efficiency DC-DC conversion in aerospace power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the DSB5822 datasheet, DSB5822 pinout, DSB5822 application, or DSB5822 equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/620 qualification, -65°C to +125°C operating temperature range, 30°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, and cathode-banded polarity marking.
Technical Context
The DSB5822 operates as a low-forward-voltage unidirectional power rectifier using a metallurgically bonded Schottky junction. Its hermetic "B" body package (per MIL-PRF-19500/620, D-5B) ensures reliability in harsh environments, with copper-clad steel leads and tin/lead finish.
Thermal performance is defined by a maximum junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 30°C/W at 3/8″ lead length and 3°C/W transient thermal impedance. It supports average forward current of 3.0 A at TL = +55°C, derating linearly at 43 mA/°C above that temperature.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5822 | Same electrical specs (40 V, 3 A, 0.40/0.50/0.70 V VF), but non-hermetic DO-201AD package | Limited to commercial/industrial use; not qualified per MIL-PRF-19500 | Select DSB5822 when hermeticity, radiation tolerance, or extended temperature compliance is required. |
| DSB3A40 | Identical VRWM, VF, and thermal specs; same MIL-PRF-19500/620 qualification, but uses "A" body case (D-5A) | D-5A has different mechanical footprint and lead spacing vs. D-5B "B" body | Choose DSB5822 for legacy D-5B board layouts; verify mechanical fit before substituting DSB3A40. |
Compared with 1N5822 and DSB3A40, the DSB5822 uniquely combines D-5B hermetic packaging, full MIL-PRF-19500/620 screening, and proven thermal performance in constrained aerospace power envelopes-making it irreplaceable where mechanical form factor and qualification level are jointly specified.

FAQ
What is the maximum average forward current rating for DSB5822?
The DSB5822 is rated for 3.0 A average rectified forward current at TL = +55°C with 3/8″ lead length. Above this temperature, current must be derated at 43 mA/°C. This rating reflects real-world thermal limits in sealed, convection-limited environments typical of aerospace enclosures. The DSB5822 maintains this capability due to its hermetic D-5B package and low thermal resistance.
Is DSB5822 pin-compatible with standard 1N5822 diodes?
No, the DSB5822 is not pin-compatible with commercial 1N5822 diodes. While both share identical electrical characteristics, the DSB5822 uses a hermetic "B" body (MIL-PRF-19500/620, D-5B) with specific lead spacing and mechanical dimensions, whereas 1N5822 uses the non-hermetic DO-201AD package. PCB layout changes are required to substitute DSB5822 for 1N5822.
Does DSB5822 meet MIL-PRF-19500/620 requirements?
Yes, the DSB5822 is explicitly qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/620, Class J, JX, JV, and JS screening levels. This includes environmental testing, burn-in, and electrical verification across temperature extremes. Documentation confirms DSB5822 meets all requirements for JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, and JANS versions-unlike commercial alternatives such as 1N5822.
What is the thermal resistance specification for DSB5822?
The DSB5822 has a maximum junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 30°C/W at L = 0.375 inch (3/8″), and a transient thermal impedance (ZOJX) of 3°C/W. These values are measured under standardized MIL-test conditions and enable accurate thermal modeling in sealed chassis without forced airflow. The DSB5822 achieves this via metallurgical bonding and hermetic copper-clad steel leads.
Can DSB5822 be used in place of DSB3A40?
The DSB5822 and DSB3A40 share identical electrical specifications and MIL-PRF-19500/620 qualification, but differ mechanically: DSB5822 uses the "B" body (D-5B), while DSB3A40 uses the "A" body (D-5A). Their lead spacing and case dimensions are not interchangeable. Substituting DSB5822 for DSB3A40 requires PCB layout revision to accommodate the D-5B footprint.
