The Westcode M0859LC160 is a hockey-puck rectifying diode with a voltage rating of 1.6kV, current rating of 859A, W4-100A243 and recovery time of 3us. It is suitable for use in high-voltage power applications, such as switched-mode power supplies, DC/DC converters, motor drives, and inverters. Its built-in recovery characteristics protect other parts of the circuit from high-switching-frequency noise, surge current and overvoltage transients.
