A Schottky diode, also known as a Schottky barrier rectifier, is a semiconductor device with a low forward voltage drop and fast switching speed. Unlike conventional PN-junction diodes, Schottky diodes use a metal-to-semiconductor junction, which reduces power loss and improves efficiency in high-frequency applications.
Encased in a DO-201AD package this 50-piece Schottky diode assortment includes 5 different types of high-performance diodes, each designed for efficient rectification and fast switching applications.

Schottky Diode Graph:
- Forward Bias Region: Schottky diodes have a low forward voltage drop (0.2V to 0.45V) and conduct current sharply once this threshold is reached.
- Reverse Bias Region: In reverse bias, Schottky diodes show very low leakage current until the reverse breakdown voltage is reached.
- Sharp Transition: The current increases rapidly after the forward voltage threshold, reflecting the diode’s fast switching and low power loss.
