Automotive rectifiers offer superior avalanche capability

Diodes' new family of Super Barrier Rectifiers is qualified to the AECQ101 high reliability automotive standard and backed by PPAP level 3 documentation.

The parts are 100% avalanche tested and said to deliver a reverse-avalanche capability of between three to ten times greater than competing Schottky alternatives. Offering current ratings up to 60A and reverse voltage ratings up to 100V, the rectifiers are also characterised by lower reverse leakage current at higher temperatures, helping to minimise circuit losses and increasing protection against thermal runaway.
