NTE573
Schottky Barrier Rectifier
Description:
The NTE573 is an axial lead metaltosilicon power diode using the Schottky Barrier principle. State
oftheart geometry features epitaxial construction with oxide passivation and metal overlap contact.
This device is ideally suited for use in lowvoltage, highfrequency inverters, as free wheeling diodes,
and polarity protection diodes.
