1N5399 is a standard diode or we can also say it a general purpose diode capable to drive the absolute maximum load of upto 1.5A and the absolute maximum load current can be upto 1000V.
1N5399 is a diode of 1n539x series; the series contains diodes from 1N5391 to 1N5399. All the diodes in the series have almost same characteristics except the load voltage they can drive. 1N5391 has the lowest load voltage which is 50V and 1N5399 has the highest which is 1000V so you can select what load you are driving and how much voltage it can drive or in what rectification circuit you are using it how much output voltage it is providing to the circuit. But you are not limited to use the high voltage diodes in low voltage rectifier or load driving circuits for example you can easily use 1000V diode which is 1N5399 in a 12V rectifier circuit or drive a 12V load with it but you cannot drive load of 60V or use it in a rectification circuit which provides 60V at the output.
Applications
It is mainly designed to use as a rectifier diode which means it can mostly use for converting AC current to DC in power supplies, battery chargers etc. But it is not limited to these uses and can also be used for various other purposes such as limiting voltage in a circuit, voltage blocking in reverse direction, for switching purposes, electronics components protection etc.
