Major Ratings and Characteristics Description/Features
The 401CNQ center tap Schottky rectifier module series has
been optimized for low reverse leakage at high temperature. The
proprietary barrier technology allows for reliable operation up to
175° C junction temperature. Typical applications are in high
current switching power supplies, converters, free-wheeling
diodes, welding and reverse battery protection.
175° C TJ operation
Center tap module
High purity, high temperature epoxy encapsulation for
enhanced mechanical strength and moisture resistance
Low forward voltage drop
High frequency operation
Guard ring for enhanced ruggedness and long term
reliability
