What is 1N5844?
This is 40V, 5A, Schottky Barrier Rectifier. The Schottky Barrier Rectifier (SBR) is a type of diode that is widely used in power electronics. It is based on the Schottky barrier principle, which is a metal-semiconductor junction that forms a rectifying contact with low forward voltage drop and fast switching speed.
