Dual center tap Schottky rectifier suited for high
frequency switch mode power supply.
Packaged in TO-220AB, TO-220AB narrow leads,
2
and I
PAK, this device is intended to be used in
notebook and LCD adaptors, desktop SMPS,
providing in these applications a margin between
the remaining voltages applied on the diode and
the voltage capability of the diode.
