International Rectifier has introduced the world's first 1000V radiation-hardened power MOSFET.
The new bridge rectifiers are made with four glass-passivated silicon junctions assembled on copper lead-frames, and encapsulated in a four-pin, single inline package (SIP).
Glass-passivated chips have better high-temperature reverse-bias (HTRB) characteristics than conventional die-attach type devices, and can withstand harsh environmental conditions such as temperature cycling tests from -55 to +150C and moisture resistance testing at 85C with 85% relative humidity.
The GBU and GBL bridge rectifiers are Underwriters' Laboratories certified under class 94V-0 for inflammability.
Made for high-volume manufacturing methods, the new bridge rectifiers are compatible with eutectic (below 245C) or high temperature (260C) soldering methods, and the devices' package and lead configurations provide mounting flexibility.
The GBL bridges have straight leads, and are ideal for printed circuit board or point-to-point wiring.
The GBU bridges have a mounting hole in the centre of the package, for secure mounting to heatsink surfaces.
