Description
This dual center tap Schottky rectifier is ideally suited for high frequency switch mode
power supply.
Packaged in TO-220AB and TO-220AB narrow leads, the STPS40120C is optimized
for use in notebook and LCD adapters, desktop SMPS, providing in these
applications a margin between the remaining voltages applied on the diode and the
Product status link voltage capability of the diode.
