Description/Features
The 129NQ... (R) high current Schottky rectifier module series
has been optimized for low reverse leakage at high
temperature. The proprietary barrier technology allows for
reliable operation up to 175° C junction temperature. Typical
applications are in switching power supplies, converters, free-
wheeling diodes, and reverse battery protection.
