15ETL06FP

Overview

The Vishay 15ETL06FP is a single-diode, ultralow forward voltage hyperfast rectifier utilizing FRED Pt technology. It features a TO-220 FULL-PAK package with an isolated base for high-voltage isolation. Key electrical parameters include a 600 V repetitive reverse voltage rating and a 15 A average rectified forward current capability. The device exhibits a typical forward voltage drop of 0.99 V at 15 A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 600 V. Dynamic recovery characteristics specify a typical reverse recovery time of 60 ns under standard test conditions.

Feature Summary

• Optimized for discontinuous mode power factor correction applications to minimize switching losses
• Features fully isolated package design providing 2500 VRMS insulation voltage
• Utilizes FRED Pt technology for benchmark ultralow forward voltage and hyperfast recovery
• Designed for industrial level qualification with 175 °C operating junction temperature

Applications

• Discontinuous Mode Power Factor Correction circuits
• AC-DC Switched Mode Power Supplies ranging from 70 W to 400 W
• Freewheeling diodes in power supplies and other power switching applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the package style and compliance status. The FP suffix indicates the TO-220 FULL-PAK variant with an isolated base, distinct from the standard TO-220AC case. Confirm lead-free availability if required by environmental standards. Ensure thermal management aligns with the specified thermal resistance values for the full-pak configuration during integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when low conduction loss and fast recovery are critical for efficiency in high-frequency switching environments. The isolated base allows direct mounting to heatsinks without additional insulators, simplifying mechanical assembly. Evaluate thermal performance against the maximum allowable case temperature curves for the specific duty cycle and ambient conditions expected in the target application.

Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's FRED Pt family of hyperfast rectifiers designed for high-efficiency power conversion. The 15ETL06FP specifically denotes the 15 Ampere, 600 Volt variant housed in the TO-220 FULL-PAK package. This series targets applications requiring reduced snubber dissipation and improved overall system efficiency through minimized stored charge and reverse recovery current.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include the VS-15ETL06-M3, which utilizes the standard TO-220AC non-isolated package. Verify that the replacement maintains the required isolation voltage if the circuit design depends on the insulated base characteristic of the FULL-PAK version.
