FEATURES AND BENEFITS

The TURBOSWITCH is a very high performance

series of ultra-fast high voltage power diodes from

600V to 1200V.

TURBOSWITCH family, drastically cuts losses in

both the diode and the associated switching IGBT

or MOSFET in all ”freewheel mode” operations

and is particularly suitable and efficient in motor

control freewheel applicationsand in booster diode

applications in power factor control circuitries.

Packaged either in TO-220AC, ISOWATT220AC

or in DPAK, these 600V devices are particularly

intended for use on 240V domestic mains.
