Description
The STTH3BCF060 is a specific freewheel diode used in continuous mode power factor correction working in the BC2 topology. This diode has been especially designed for the dedicated BC2 topology. Therefore, its electrical characteristics offer the best possible efficiency with a P-N optimized structured diode. As a result, SMPS efficiency growth up to 2.5% can be produced at an optimized cost.

Features
