DESCRIPTION
The TURBOSWITCH is a very high performance
series of ultra-fast high voltage power diodes.
TURBOSWITCH family drastically cuts losses in
both the diode and the associated switching IGBT
and MOSFET in all freewheel mode operations
and is particulary suitable and efficient in motor

control freewheel applications and in booster diode
applications in power factor control circuitries.
Available either in SMB or F126 axial package,
these 600V devices are particularly intended for
use on 240V domestic mains.
