The new devices are designed to enable higher current densities in  low-voltage, high-frequency inverters, and solar cell junction boxes, where they  will be used as bypass diodes for photovoltaic solar cell protection.       

The V10P45S and 15 A V15P45S are offered in surface-mount SMPC packages with a typical height of 1.1 mm. Designed for automated placement, the SMPC package meets MSL Level 1.  Axial-leaded rectifiers released today include the 15 A VSB1545 and 20 A VSB2045 in the P600 package. The devices can handle solder dip temperatures to 275 degrees C for 10 seconds per JESD 22-B106, and feature a maximum junction temperature of + 150 degrees C.        

The TMBS rectifiers combine their high forward surge capability with low forward voltage drops down to 0.30 V to minimize power losses. The devices are compliant to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC, and are halogen-free  according to the IEC 61249-2-21 definition. 

Availability

Samples and production quantities of the new 45 V TMBS rectifiers are available now, with lead times of eight weeks for larger orders.
