1N5824 Schottky Barrier Rectifier Diode 30V 5A DO-201AD

The 1N5824 is a Schottky Diode with forward voltage drop of 340mV and a forward current of 5A. Since it has a very low forward voltage drop it can be used in reverse polarity protection circuits, unlike a normal diode which has more than 1V as forward voltage drop 1N5824 only has 340mV drop across it when 5A current is flowing through it.

Compared to normal diodes Schottky diode also has relatively faster switching speeds and hence can be used in high frequency switching circuits. The reverse blocking voltage for 1N5824 is about 30V and leakage current is also only 125mA which is kind of a downside for all Schottky diodes so make sure this does not affect the performance in your circuit.
