Infineon has expanded its CoolSiC Schottky diode 1200 V portfolio by adding six devices in a D²PAK real 2-pin package.

Using SMD packages, designs can be more compact and more cost effective. Moreover, the new D²PAK real 2-pin package eliminates the middle pin to offer 4.7 mm creepage and 4.4 mm clearance distance.

Compared to a standard D²PAK package this clearly enhances safety margins. The diodes are for applications such as industrial power supplies, and DC charging stations, UPS and solar string inverters.

The technology prevents reverse recovery losses and allows for temperature-independent switching behaviour.

These features can streamline designs with lower cooling requirements and smaller magnetics when used at higher switching frequency.

ThE devices are rated from 2 A to 20 A and represent the industry’s broadest portfolio in a D²PAK real 2-pin package.

They can be ordered now.
