DESCRIPTION
VS-HFA16PA60CPbF 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. With basic ratings of 600 V and 8 A per
leg continuous current, the VS-HFA16PA60CPbF is
especially well suited for use as the companion diode for
IGBTs and MOSFETs. In addition to ultrafast recovery time,
the HEXFRED

tendency to “snap-off” during the t
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-HFA16PA60CPbF 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.
