Major Ratings and Characteristics
The 203CNQ... (R) center tap Schottky rectifier module series
has been optimized for low reverse leakage at high tempera-
ture.
The proprietary barrier technology allows for reliable opera-
tion up to 175 °C junction temperature. Typical applications
are in high current switching power supplies, plating power
supplies, UPS systems, 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
