The STPS50U100C high-efficiency power-rectifier diode suits use in the output of power supplies for adapters, desktop PCs, servers, and TV and video products. The forward-voltage drop is the primary source of power loss in power Schottky diodes in secondary rectification. The power rectifier reduces this voltage drop using a driver to a typical figure of 0.64V at 25A and 0.38V at 5A.
Additional features include 200-mA maximum leakage current, 50A maximum average forward current, and 250A surge nonrepetitive forward current. Available in TO-220 and I2Pak packages, the device costs $1.50 (1000).
