• Boost diodes in PFC or DC/DC stages
• Free wheeling diodes in inverter stages
• AC/DC converters

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm reel packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard SMD/SMT assembly processes for the TO-252-2 footprint. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer declarations prior to integration into regulated electronic assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring unipolar rectification with minimal switching losses. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance. Consider the positive temperature coefficient for potential parallel device configurations without thermal runaway risks.
