Low voltage drop diode suggestion

neazoi · Mar 31, 2010

Hello,
I need a low voltage drop diode.
0.1-0.2V would be fine. Current 2-3A
It will operate on 9-12V

Please suggest me a suitable type.

Higher amperage diodes have slightly lower V[F] voltage, so try something like 1N5825 ..

I don't know you application, but normally synchronous rectification would replace diodes if you want < 0.4V.
