Description

Flexible Circuit 201878-001 Schottky Bypass Diode CIGS Solar Panel Qty 400

This listing is for one lot of 400 Schottky bypass diodes supplied as 100 flexible diode ribbons, with 4 diodes per ribbon, packaged in a single molded plastic tray. These flex diode ribbons were manufactured by Flexible Circuit Technologies (part number 201878-001) for Dow Solar and Solopower for integration into flexible CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) thin-film solar panels. These are comparable in specification to the SMC Diode Solutions SD125SB45B.

Applications

Schottky bypass diodes in flexible ribbon format are used in the manufacture of thin-film CIGS solar panels to provide cell-level bypass protection. In a CIGS panel, individual solar cells or cell strings can become reverse-biased under partial shading or cell mismatch conditions; the bypass diode conducts in that scenario, rerouting current around the affected cell and preventing hotspot damage and power loss. The flexible ribbon construction of these diodes is specifically suited to the lamination-based manufacturing process used for Dow Solar and Solopower monolithically integrated flexible CIGS modules. These components are relevant to solar panel manufacturers, researchers, and repair specialists working with legacy Solopower or Dow Solar flexible panel technology, as well as to engineers developing compatible thin-film solar products that require a low-profile, flexible bypass diode solution.

Condition: New
This Flexible Circuit Technologies 201878-001 Schottky Bypass Diode lot is new and has never been installed or used in a finished product. The diodes were manufactured for Dow Solar and Solopower for use in flexible CIGS thin-film solar panel production and are packed in their original factory tray. The lot consists of 100 diode ribbons (400 individual diodes) housed in a clear molded plastic tray. A humidity indicator card is included with the tray and reads within safe limits in our photos. The flex ribbons appear clean and undamaged — amber polyimide substrate and gold contact pads show no signs of oxidation, bending, or handling wear. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
