Pack of 5 Schottky blocking diodes, model 6A10. Designed as axial lead rectifiers for solar and DC power systems where low forward drop and reverse voltage capability are required. Key benefits Prevents reverse current flow from batteries to panels or between parallel strings, protecting batteries and charge controllers. Low forward voltage drop characteristic of Schottky devices reduces power loss and improves overall system efficiency. reverse voltage rating (1000 V) supports voltage string and array configurations. 6 amp continuous forward current rating handles medium current solar and DC applications without bulky components. Axial through hole package makes installation simple for custom wiring, combiner boxes, or prototyping. Important attributes Model: 6A10 Type: Schottky rectifier, blocking diode Current rating: 6 A continuous forward current Reverse voltage: 1000 V (1 kV) repetitive peak reverse voltage Package: Axial lead, through hole for soldering or terminal mounting Function: Blocks reverse current, provides fast rectification with low forward drop Why customers need this product Keeps batteries from discharging through panels at night or during lowlight conditions. Enables safe isolation of solar strings and reduces risk of backfeed when arrays are reconfigured or a panel fails. Offers a compact, easytoinstall solution when replacing or adding blocking diodes in existing DC power systems. Practical use scenarios Solar home system: Install one diode per panel output to prevent battery discharge through panels after sunset and to isolate panels in a multipanel array. Combiner box or string protection: Use in combiner boxes for rooftop solar arrays to block reverse currents between parallel strings and to withstand string voltages. DC power supplies and chargers: Protect power supplies and battery chargers from reverse feeding when multiple sources are connected or when a load is connected before the source. Installation and handling tips Observe correct polarity when installing; the diode only allows current flow in one direction. Provide adequate cooling or heat sinking if operating near the 6 A limit for extended periods. Use proper soldering practices for reliable mechanical and electrical connections.
