Rohm SiC SBDs
Surface-mount SiC Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) improve insulation resistance by increasing the creepage distance between terminals. Original design removes center pin previously located at bottom of package, extending creepage distance to a minimum of 5.1mm, about 1.3 times greater than standard products. Minimizes possibility of tracking (creepage discharge) between terminals and eliminates insulation treatment through resin potting when surface mounting device on circuit boards in high-voltage applications. Can be mounted on same land pattern as standard and conventional TO-263 package products, for easy replacement on existing circuit boards. Comes in two voltage ratings – 650V and 1200V – supporting 400V systems commonly used in xEVs and higher-voltage systems.
