This SOT-227 modules with HEXFRED® rectifier are
available in two basic configurations. They are the
antiparallel and the parallel configurations. The antiparallel
configuration (HFA120EA60) is used for simple series
rectifier and high voltage application. The parallel
configuration (HFA120FA60) is used for simple parallel
rectifier and high current application. The semiconductor in
the SOT-227 package is isolated from the copper base
plate, allowing for common heatsinks and compact
assemblies to be built. These modules are intended for
general applications such as power supplies, battery
chargers, electronic welders, motor control, DC chopper,
and inverters.
