[1] Device mounted on an FR4 PCB, single-sided copper, tin-plated and standard footprint.
[2] For Schottky barrier diodes thermal runaway has to be considered, as in some applications the reverse power losses PR are a
significant part of the total power losses.
[3] Device mounted on an FR4 PCB, single-sided copper, tin-plated, mounting pad for cathode 1 cm2.
[4] Soldering point of cathode tab.
