Nexperia adds 650V recovery rectifiers in D2PAK R2P
Nexperia today released 650 V ultra- and hyperfast recovery rectifiers in D2PAK Real-2-Pin (R2P) packaging for use in various automotive, industrial and consumer applications including charging adapters, photovoltaic (PV), inverters, servers and switched mode power supplies (SMPS).
Combining planar die technology with junction termination (JTE) design, these rectifiers are said to offer high power density, fast switching times with soft recovery and excellent reliability. They come in a D2PAK Real-2-Pin Package (SOT8018), which offers the same package outline as the standard D2PAK package but has only two pins instead of three (the middle cathode pin has been removed).
This increases the pin-to-pin distance from 1.25mm to over 4mm, which allows to meet the creepage and clearance requirements stated in the IEC 60664 standard.
Frank Matschullat, head of Product Group Power Bipolar Discretes at Nexperia said: “By taking the innovative step of removing the cathode pin from a standard D2PAK package, Nexperia has created a Real-2-Pin package that can meet the creepage and clearance requirements, in particular for high voltage automotive applications.”
