Rutronik has expanded its diode portfolio with Vishay Intertechnology’s third generation 1,200 V SiC Schottky diodes (5 to 40 A). The diodes are designed to increase the efficiency and reliability of switching power supply designs and impress with high surge current capability, low forward current, low capacitive charge and low reverse leakage current for reduced power loss.
The devices feature virtually no recovery time, further increasing efficiency, suiting use in AC/DC PFC and DC/DC ultrahigh-frequency output rectification in FBPS and LLC converters.
The diodes have passed a higher temperature reverse bias (HTRB) test of 2,000 hours and a temperature cycle test of 2,000 thermal cycles, and perform reliably at operating temperatures of up to 175°C.
They are available in TO-220AC 2L, TO- 220AC 2L and TO-247AD 3L packages for through-hole mounting and D2PAK 2L (TO-263AB 2L) for surface mounting and are available with 5 to 40 A.
