Bulletin PD-2.021 rev. E 11/02
The 51HQ Schottky rectifier series has been optimized for
very low forward voltage drop, with moderate leakage. The
proprietary barrier technology allows for reliable operation
up to 150 C junction temperature. Typical applications are
in switching power supplies, converters, free-wheeling di-
odes, and reverse battery protection.
