The SB850 part is a standard diode series created by Diotec, a global leader in the production of discrete semiconductor products. It is a Silicon Schottky Barrier rectifier made with a hermetically sealed case that contains an array of diodes. Additionally, this series has low forward voltage drop, low reverse leakage and high current capability, due to its high power dissipation. It is also capable of withstanding high surge currents and temperatures, up to 175 degrees Celsius. It is commonly used for power and electronic circuit protection, rectification, power supplies, and mobile and electrical equipment applications.
