Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBD)

Schottky barrier diodes (SBD) are a type of rectifier diode that is used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) in power supply and rectification applications. They are commonly used in a wide range of applications, including power conversion, inverters, and switched-mode power supplies (SMPS). SBDs are known for their low forward voltage drop and fast switching speed, which makes them highly efficient and well-suited for high-frequency switching applications. They are also highly reliable and have a long lifespan, which makes them well-suited for use in harsh environments or high-power applications. SBDs are available in a variety of packages and ratings to meet the needs of different applications.
