The 1N58xx is a series of medium power, fast, low voltage Schottky diode
The Schottky diode (named after the German physicist Walter H. Schottky), also known as Schottky barrier diode or hot-carrier diode, is a semiconductor diode formed by the junction of a semiconductor with a metal. It has a low forward voltag ...
s, which consists of part number numbers 1N5817 through 1N5825.
Overview
The 1N581''x'' are typically packaged in theDO-41
DO-204 is a family of diode semiconductor packages defined by JEDEC. This family comprises lead-mounted axial devices with round leads. Generally a diode will have a line painted near the cathode end.

axial through-hole case, and in many cases are interchangeable with the 1N4001 series. The 1N582''x'' are typically packaged in the DO-201AD through-hole case, and in many cases are interchangeable with the 1N54''xx'' series.
Being Schottky diodes, the 1N58''xx'' parts have roughly half the forward voltage drop
Voltage drop is the decrease of electrical potential along the path of a current flowing in an electrical circuit. Voltage drops in the internal resistance of the source, across conductors, across contacts, and across connectors are undesirable ...
of the 1N400''x''/1N540''x'' series diodes, which improves efficiency in applications where they are usually forward-biased, such as power converters. The cost is a lower voltage rating and higher reverse leakage current
Reverse leakage current in a semiconductor device is the current from that semiconductor device when the device is reverse biased.
When a semiconductor device is reverse biased it should not conduct any current, however, due to an increased barr ...
(approximately 1 mA at room temperature and increasing with temperature).
Common surface-mount relatives of the 1N58xx series are the SS1x and SS3x series, such as the SS14 (1 ampere) and SS34 (3 ampere) surface-mount parts.
