Diodes Inc. (Westlake Village, CA) announced the release of a comprehensive line of 3A and 5A Powermite®3 schottky barrier rectifiers, which use patented packaging technology licensed from Microsemi Corp. (Irvine, CA). The diodes will be manufactured at Diodes' facilities in China.

The Powermite®3 package has a low profile of 1.1mm, which allows it to be used in many portable applications. The Powermite®3 package features a high power density value of 55mW/mm². The 3A series consists of the 40V SBM340, the 60V MBRM360 and the 100V MBRM3100. The 5A series consists of the 40V SBM540, the 60V MBRM560 and the 100V MBRM5100.

Many additional Powermite®3 products are currently under development and are scheduled for release soon, including dual schottky barrier rectifiers; high-voltage, low-leakage schottky barrier rectifiers; and ultra-fast and standard-recovery, glass-passivated rectifiers.
