MALVERN, Pa. — Jan. 13, 2010 — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced four new 100-V TMBS® Trench MOS Barrier Schottky rectifiers with high current density from 2 A to 4 A in low-profile, surface-mount SMA and SMB packages.

The devices released today include the VSSA310S and VSSA210 in the DO-214AC (SMA) package and the VSSB410S and VSSB310 in the DO-214AA (SMB) package. The SMA and SMB packages feature low profiles of 2.29 mm and 2.44 mm, respectively.

With extremely low forward voltage drops down to 0.56 V typical and superior avalanche capability, the devices reduce power loss and improve efficiency in freewheeling diodes, dc-to-dc converters, and polarity protection in switchmode power supplies (SMPS), set-top boxes, and consumer electrical appliances.

The new rectifiers feature a maximum junction temperature of + 150 °C and an MSL moisture sensitivity level of 1, per J-STD-020, LF maximum peak of 260 °C. Ideal for automated placement, the devices are compliant to RoHS directive 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC.
