The CMDFSHC3-100 (3A) and CMDFSHC5-100 (5A) are 100V Schottky rectifiers in the low profile SMC DFN surface mount case, featuring highly desirable energy efficiency, utilizing passivated silicon die to improve performance and reliability.

The space-saving SMC DFN package is 1.25mm in height, 53% lower in height than the comparable SMC, supporting designs requiring low board profiles. Electrical specifications for these highly energy efficient devices include a low forward voltage (VF) as low as 0.78V at 5A. These devices are ideal for reverse polarity protection, boost converters, and general rectification applications.
