Additional Details

The 20ETS12FPPBF has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 120V and a forward current rating of 20A. It is typically packaged in a TO-220FP package. Key parameters include a low forward voltage (typically 0.6V at rated current), low reverse leakage current, and a wide operating temperature range. The TO-220FP package provides good thermal performance, allowing for efficient heat dissipation. The fast switching characteristics are due to the Schottky barrier construction.
