DESCRIPTION
VS-HFA15TB60SPbF, VS-HFA15TB60-1PbF 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
15 A continuous current, the VS-HFA15TB60SPbF,
VS-HFA15TB60-1PbF 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 t
portion of recovery. The HEXFRED features 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-HFA15TB60SPbF,
VS-HFA15TB60-1PbF 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.
