20ETF..PbF Soft Recovery Series
Fast Soft Recovery
Rectifier Diode, 20 A
FEATURES/DESCRIPTION
The 20ETF..PbF fast soft recovery rectifier series
Base
2
3
Anode
has been optimized for combined short reverse
recovery time and low forward voltage drop.
The glass passivation ensures stable reliable
operation in the most severe temperature and
power cycling conditions.
This product series has been designed and qualified for
industrial level and lead (Pb)-free.
