27 new FRED Pt® Rectifiers have been introduced by Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. These rectifiers will save space, cost less to produce, increase efficiency and increase power density.
“Specified for output and snubber operation, the FRED Pt rectifiers are optimized for DC/DC converters and power factor correction (PFC) in automotive engine control units (ECUs), antilock braking systems (ABS), and LED lighting, in addition to telecom DC/DC bricks,” according to the company.
Features of these rectifiers include a low leakage current, a low forward voltage drop, a reduction in switching losses, an operating temperate up to over 175 degrees Celsius, a MSL moisture level of 1 per J-STD-020, LF maximum peak of over 260 degrees Celsius, and more. The rectifiers are also RoHS-compliant and halogen-free and meet the JESD 201 class 2 whisker test.
