SCHOTTKY RECTIFIER 2 x 20 Amps

Major Ratings and Characteristics Description/ Features

The 40L..CW center tap Schottky rectifier has been optimized
Characteristics 40L..CW Units for very low forward voltage drop, with moderate leakage. The
proprietary barrier technology allows for reliable operation up
IF(AV) Rectangular 40 A to 150° C junction temperature. Typical applications are in
waveform switching power supplies.

VRRM 40 - 45 V 150° C TJ operation

Center tap TO-247 package
IFSM @ tp = 5 µs sine 1240 A High purity, high temperature epoxy encapsulation for
enhanced mechanical strength and moisture resistance
VF @ 20 Apk, TJ=125°C 0.42 V Very low forward voltage drop
(per leg, Typical) High frequency operation
Guard ring for enhanced ruggedness and long term
TJ - 55 to 150 °C reliability
