Description
150 V power Schottky rectifiers are suited for
switch mode power supplies on up to 24 V rails
and high frequency converters.
Packaged in SMA, SMA low profile, and axial, this
device is intended for use in consumer and
computer applications like TV, STB, PC and DVD
where low drop forward voltage is required to
reduce power dissipation.
