PowerSchottky Advanced E-Bus Diode
“Heck, there’s nothing
wrong with using conventional p-n junction diodes if your airplane runs on
100 Volts!”
Schottky diodes were developed for lower voltages common to battery applications. They have much lower forward voltage drop. This characteristic of the Schottky means lower rectification losses, greater efficiency, less heat and smaller (or no) heat sinks required.
Let's face it--you could use a p-n diode or even one leg of a full-wave bridge from your local Radio Shack; but why would you want to? Your cellphone doesn't use p-n diodes because they waste too much power, why should your airplane?
The PowerSchottky preserves the most precious electricity you’ll ever use--the electrical power you have to generate in your own airplane.
