Rectifier Diode 1N5822 — Pack of 50, DIP, 3A, 40V Key benefits Ready quantity: Pack of 50 diodes supplies projects, repairs, and spares without frequent reordering. Reliable rectification: Ensures current flows in one direction to convert AC to DC or prevent reverse current in DC circuits. Handles moderate loads: 3A continuous current rating supports small to medium power circuits. Appropriate voltage headroom: 40V maximum reverse voltage for low- to mid-voltage rectification tasks. Easy mounting and prototyping: DIP package fits through-hole PCBs and breadboards for simple installation and testing. What this product solves Simplifies sourcing: A bulk pack eliminates downtime when multiple diodes are needed for production runs, classrooms, or repair benches. Reduces part substitution risk: Using the specified 1N5822 maintains consistent electrical behavior across assemblies. Keeps circuits protected and functional: Use for rectification, reverse-current blocking, and polarity protection within the stated 3A/40V limits. Important attributes Model: 1N5822 Package: DIP (through-hole), suitable for soldering to PCBs and use in prototyping fixtures Current rating: 3A Voltage rating: 40V (maximum reverse voltage) Function: Rectifier diode — allows current flow in one direction for rectification and protection Compatibility and usage notes Drop-in for circuits designed around the 1N5822 specification. Confirm your circuit’s maximum reverse voltage and current do not exceed 40V and 3A. Provide adequate cooling or heat spreading in continuous high-current applications to maintain reliability. Practical applications (examples) Low-voltage DC power supplies and rectifier stages where 40V reverse voltage and 3A current are sufficient. Battery charging or protection circuits for battery packs and devices with system voltages below 40V. Prototyping, bench repairs, and educational labs where through-hole DIP components simplify assembly and testing. Ordering and inventory Pack quantity: 50 pieces per order, suitable for deployment across multiple boards or as replacement stock. Use the 1N5822 diodes within their 3A and 40V ratings and provide appropriate thermal management for sustained current to ensure reliable operation.
