Central Semi Unveils CZSH5-40 Schottky Rectifier

Central Semiconductor Corp. (Hauppauge, NY) announced its new CZSH5-40, small, surface-mount, 5A, power schottky rectifier packaged in a small-signal, SOT-223 case. The new device is a single 5A/40V chip manufactured by the epitaxial planar process, and designed to meet high-current dc/dc or ac/dc rectification applications for all types of commercial, industrial, entertainment, computer and automotive products.

The CZSH5-40 provides a lower (1.7mm) profile than the standard DPAK (2.4mm) or SMC (2.6mm) packages. The CZSH5-40 also utilizes approximately 30 percent less board space than an equivalent device in a DPAK. The CZSH5-40 is perfect for half-brick and quarter-brick power supply designs where board space and component height is critical. Central is also in development of a 10A dual-chip version of the CZSH5-40 scheduled for release mid-August 2003.

The CZSH5-40 is available bulk packed or in 1,000-piece quantities on 7in tape and reel. Prices for the CZSH5-40 start at $0.36 each for 1,000 pieces on a 7in reel. Sample devices are available upon request.
