FEATURES/DESCRIPTION

The 40EPF..PbF fast soft recovery rectifier series
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.

APPLICATIONS

• Output rectification and freewheeling in inverters,
choppers and converters

• Input rectifications where severe restrictions on conducted
EMI should be met
