Selection guides, application notes and design checks for rectifiers, Schottky diodes, TVS protection, MOSFETs, SiC and IGBTs — written for engineers and sourcing teams.
Key Takeaways The 1200 V IGBT remains the workhorse of industrial power conversion—not because it is the newest technology, but because it hits the right balance of cost, ruggedness, and drive simplicity for tens of kilowatts. Before you finalize the BOM, compare the related options: 1200V IGBTs for 4–16 kHz Motor Drives and 650V IGBTs … Read more
Key Takeaways The boost diode in a power factor correction stage lives a hard life: it blocks 400–800 V, switches at the converter frequency, and carries the full output current. Before you finalize the BOM, compare the related options: When a SiC Schottky Diode Improves CCM PFC Efficiency and EMI and Schottky Barrier Rectifier Diode. … Read more
Key Takeaways The 1200 V class has become the battleground of high-efficiency power conversion. Before you finalize the BOM, compare the related options: 1200V SiC MOSFETs for Solar Inverters and 800V EV Chargers and 1700V SiC MOSFETs for 1500V Solar and Rail Power. Verify your choice against official product data and application guidance: Good-Ark SiC … Read more

For visitors evaluating semiconductor suppliers, the event can be a practical setting to compare product categories, discuss documentation needs, review package options, and begin technical conversations for future projects. Key Takeaways electronica … Read more
A rectifier datasheet is a set of conditional statements, not a list of independent numbers. Two devices cannot be compared safely until current, waveform, temperature, pulse width, di/dt, PCB copper, heatsink, and guarantee type have been normalized. This guide provides that comparison method. It separates absolute maximum ratings from guaranteed electrical limits and typical curves, … Read more
A low unit price has limited value if a supplier cannot prove lot traceability, disciplined product-change notification, stable process control, and qualified capacity. This guide is a B2B manufacturer-audit and sourcing tool, not another explanation of how a diode works. It shows how to evaluate who controls wafer fabrication, assembly, test, marking, subcontractors, alternate sites, … Read more
AEC-Q101 qualification tells you that a defined part passed a defined stress program. It does not tell you that the same part will survive the alternator, the on-board charger, or the lighting module in your vehicle. That second conclusion has to come from the mission profile — the voltages, currents, and temperatures the rectifier will … Read more
For axial rectifiers, lead geometry affects electrical inductance, heat removal, solder reliability, and vibration resistance at the same time. This guide is for through-hole assembly and service work involving DO-41, DO-15, DO-201, and similar packages. It explains how to form leads without damaging the body seal, choose horizontal or vertical mounting, control stand-off and solder … Read more
For an SMD rectifier, the PCB is not merely a mounting surface—it is a major part of the heatsink and the assembly process. This guide starts with SMA, SMB, SMC, and related package choices, then connects land pattern, copper area, layer stack, thermal vias, solder paste, voiding, and nearby heat sources to junction temperature and … Read more
At high voltage, the diode rating is only one part of the insulation system. PCB creepage, air clearance, contamination, humidity, altitude, field concentration, potting materials, and measurement technique can become the actual failure limit. This guide focuses on preventing puncture, surface tracking, corona, and partial-discharge damage in high-voltage rectifiers and series stacks. It explains why … Read more
In high-current rectification, RMS heating, surge energy, and the thermal interface often matter more than the headline current rating. This guide treats the diode as part of a power assembly: semiconductor, package, busbar or PCB, thermal-interface material, heatsink, mounting hardware, and the commutating MOSFET or IGBT. It connects IF(AV), IF(RMS), IFSM, I²t, conduction loss, recovery … Read more
