Rectifiers up solar cell junction box current density

Vishay Intertechnology Inc. grows its line of TMBS Trench MOS Barrier Schottky rectifiers with four devices that are said to enable higher current densities in low-voltage, high-frequency inverters and solar cell junction boxes, where they are used as bypass diodes for photovoltaic solar cell protection.

The 10A V10P45S and 15A V15P45S are offered in surface-mount SMPC packages with a typical height of 1.1mm. Designed for automated placement, the SMPC package meets MSL Level 1.

And the 15A VSB1545 and 20A VSB2045 are axial-leaded rectifiers in P600 packages.

The devices can handle solder dip temperatures to 275锟紺 for 10s per JESD 22-B106, and feature a maximum junction temperature of +150锟紺.

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