10ETF10

Overview

The Vishay 10ETF10 is a QUIETIR series fast soft recovery rectifier diode rated for 10 A average forward current and 1000 V repetitive peak reverse voltage. It features a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.33 V at 10 A and a typical reverse recovery time of 80 ns. The device utilizes glass passivation for stability under severe thermal cycling and operates within a junction temperature range of -40 °C to 150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Optimized for combined short reverse recovery time and low forward voltage drop
• Glass passivation ensures stable operation in severe temperature and power cycling conditions

Applications

• Output rectification in inverters, choppers, and converters
• Freewheeling applications in power circuits
• Input rectification requiring strict conducted EMI restrictions

Procurement Notes
