The MBR40L15CW center tap Schottky rectifier module has
been optimized for ultra low forward voltage drop specifically
for the OR-ing of parallel power supplies. The proprietary
barrier technology allows for reliable operation up to 125 °C
junction temperature. Typical applications are in parallel
switching power supplies, converters, reverse battery pro-
tection, and redundant power subsystems.
