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-HFA12PA120CPbF is a state of the art center tap
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. The VS-HFA12PA120CPbF has basic
ratings of 1200 V and 6 A per leg continuous current. In
addition to ultrafast recovery time, the HEXFRED
line features extremely low values of peak recovery current
(I
RRM
during the t
combine to 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-HFA12PA120CPbF is
ideally suited for applications in power supplies and power
conversion systems (such as inverters, converters, UPS
systems, and power factor correction circuits), motor drives,
and many other similar applications where high speed, high
efficiency is needed.
