Additional Details:

The SB140T/B typically has a forward voltage drop of around 0.5V at its rated current. It has a maximum average forward current rating of 1 Ampere and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 40 Volts. The operating temperature range is typically between -65°C and +125°C. The package is usually a SMB (Surface Mount B) or similar surface mount package. This part is used in a variety of applications where fast switching and low forward voltage drop are important, such as portable electronic devices, power adapters, and automotive electronics. The Schottky barrier construction provides a majority carrier conduction, eliminating the minority carrier storage effect that limits the switching speed of conventional diodes. This makes the SB140T/B ideal for high-frequency applications.
