Vishay Intertechnology introduces four FRED Pt gen 5 600V rectifiers in the TO-244 package
Offering excellent conduction and switching loss trade-off for devices, the 240A, 300A, 480A, and 600A Vishay Semiconductors rectifiers are designed to increase the efficiency of medium frequency power converters and of hard- and soft-switched or resonant designs.
Compared to competing FRED Pt solutions in the TO-244 package, the Pt gen 5 600V devices offer lower conduction while maintaining low reverse recovery losses.
The result is improved efficiency for industrial applications, such as high frequency welding and ballast water management systems.
Delivering high speed and temperature operation for these applications, the VS-VS5HD240CW60, VS-VS5HD300CW60, VS-VS5HD480CW60, and VS-VS5HD600CW60 offer low Qrr down to 260nC typical, fast recovery time down to 52ns, and an operating temperature range up to +175°C.
