Nice item...

Sold through Digikey, for all those hobbyists who like to build their
semiconductor cases at home?

Don't knock Digikey. They are exclusive distributor for several lines like
CUI. CUI will sell direct only for large volumes. I have several turnkey
board assembly houses that buy through Digikey (among others). Lastly, the
Arrow Electronics salesperson that calls on me once said that he often
checks out the digikey website since their own, well, just sucks.

Pretty impressive specs. Positive tempco is a definite plus and the reverse
recovery is almost nothing. Vf is an order of magnitude above Germanium but
is on par with IGBTs.

When I read Schott, was thinking Schott technical glasses...
