What Is a TO-220 Schottky Rectifier?
A TO-220 Schottky rectifier is a two-die thermal problem: 1.6 °C/W per diode plus 0.15 °C/W of coupling. What that means for usable current.

What Is a DFN Schottky Rectifier?
A DFN Schottky rectifier trades leakage for a 410 mV forward drop in a 0.37 mm package. What the package, the leakage and the copper under it decide.
What Is a Three-Phase Diode Bridge Module?
A three-phase diode bridge module is rated 40 A at an 85 °C case with 1600 V blocking and 4000 V RMS isolation. How cooling and surge decide it.
