FEATURES
• Ultrafast and ultrasoft recovery
• Very low I
• Compliant to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC
• Designed and qualified for industrial level
BENEFITS
• Reduced RFI and EMI
• Reduced power loss in diode and switching transistor
• Higher frequency operation
• Reduced snubbing
• Reduced parts count
DESCRIPTION
VS-HFA04TB60PBF is a state of the art ultrafast recovery
diode. Employing the latest in epitaxial construction and
advanced processing techniques it features a superb
combination of characteristics which result in performance
which is unsurpassed by any rectifier previously available.
With basic ratings of 600 V and 4 A continuous current, the
VS-HFA04TB60PBF is especially well suited for use as the
companion diode for IGBTs and MOSFETs. In addition to
ultrafast recovery time, the HEXFRED
extremely low values of peak recovery current (I
does not exhibit any tendency to “snap-off” during the
portion of recovery. The HEXFRED features combine to
t
b
offer designers a rectifier with lower noise and significantly
lower switching losses in both the diode and the switching
transistor. These HEXFRED advantages can help to
significantly reduce snubbing, component count and
heatsink sizes. The HEXFRED VS-HFA04TB60PBF is ideally
suited for applications in power supplies and power
conversion systems (such as inverters), motor drives, and
many other similar applications where high speed, high
efficiency is needed.
