NTE6234
Powerblock Module
Description:
The NTE6234 uses 2 high voltage power diodes in series and the semiconductors are electrically
isolated from the metal base, allowing common heatsinks and compact assemblies to be built. This
device is intended for general purpose applications such as battery chargers, welders and plating
equipment and where high voltage and high current are required.
Features:
D High Voltage
D Electrically Isolated Base Plate
D 3000VRMS Isolating Voltage
D High Surge Capability
D Large Creepage Distances
