Comchip Technology

In the designs and manufactures of discrete SMD semiconductor systems, the Comchip Technology Corporation leads. Comchip offers bridge rectifiers, quick-efficiency rectifiers, switching diodes, Zener diodes, Schottky diodes, TVS, and ESD surge protectors with unique research and proprietary production skills. For your application, we offer the correct diode. Comchip Technology is the first company to establish RoHS compatible DFN / flat chip packaging, employing the Gold Termination to eliminate Tin-Whisker potential. SOD-323F (1005), SOD-523F (0603), SOD-723F (0503), SOD-923F (0402) and 0201 packs are available for DFN packages. Comchip devices are appropriate for many applications, including lighting, automotive, industrial, tft-lcd, network/telecom, mobile, consumer electronics, and high-reliability applications with zero Tin-whisker potential. The computers are equipped with a wide range of computers. Comchip has certified TS16949, ISO9001, and ISO14001 to provide better quality and dependability. The Comchip Bridge Corrector and TVS passed UL safety device application tests as an additional safety layer. Many Comchip diodes satisfy AEC-Q101 standards for automotive stress testing and are suitable for both automotive and high-reliability applications.
