The DF08S is a 4-pin single-phase Bridge Rectifier Diode with the ever-pressing need to improve power supply efficiency, improve surge rating, improve reliability and reduce size. The design offers a surge rating of 50A. This is important when improving reliability and increasing efficiency. High efficiency designs strive to reduce circuit resistance, which unfortunately can result in increased inrush surge. As such high surge current ratings can be required to maintain or improve reliability. The design also offers better efficiency by achieving a 1.5A VF of 1.1V maximum at 25°C. This lower VF also supports cooler and more efficient operation. It achieves all this in a SDIP surface mount form factor, reducing board space and volumetric requirements versus competitive devices.
