Ordering Information
Select the complete 10 digit device part number from the table below.
Description:
Powerex General Purpose Rectifiers are
designed with high blocking voltage capability
with low forward on-state voltage to minimize
conduction losses. These are all-diffused,
hermetic Pow-R-Disc devices which can be
mounted using commercially available clamps
and heatsinks..
