Packaged in the ultra-low-profile POWERDI5SP-B, the 12 A rated SBR12U45LH1 from Diodes addresses the key design and manufacturing concerns of solar panel manufacturers producing next generation PV modules. In its critical role as a highly efficient PV module bypass and blocking diode, this latest SBR has a maximum package height of only 0.75 mm. This enables it to be integrated within the solar panel and effectively removes the need for separate junction boxes.

Offering the industry's lowest forward voltage drop of 0.38 V at 12 A and +125°C, SBR12U45LH1 ensures negligible heat generation and temperature rise during operation, resulting in safer and more reliable solar panel operation.

The Diodes advantage

• Fully functional over the temperature range from -65°C to +200°C
  • Enables compliance with the thermal test requirement of solar safety standard IEC61730-2
• Low profile package with a maximum height of only 0.75 mm
  • The POWERDI5SP-B enables integration of the bypass and blocking diodes within the solar panel, which effectively removes the need of separate junction boxes
• Industry’s lowest forward voltage drop for a 45 V rectifier
  • Low V_F of 0.38 V at 12 A and +125°C ensures negligible temperature rise during operation, resulting in more reliable operation of solar panels
