The markets of portable communications, computing and video equipment are challenging the semiconductor industry to develop increasingly smaller electronic components. Bourns offers Glass Passivated Rectifiers for rectification applications, in compact chip DO-214AB (SMC) size format, which offers PCB real estate savings and are considerably smaller than competitive parts. The Glass Passivated Rectifier Diodes offer a forward current of 3.0 A with a choice of repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V up to 600 V. Bourns Chip Diodes conform to JEDEC standards, are easy to handle on standard pick and place equipment and their flat configuration minimizes roll away.
