15ETX06S

Overview

The Vishay 15ETX06S is a 15 A hyperfast recovery rectifier utilizing FRED Pt technology, housed in a D2PAK surface-mount package. It features a 600 V reverse voltage rating and an average forward current of 15 A at a case temperature of 133 °C. The device exhibits a typical reverse recovery time of 18 ns and a maximum junction operating temperature of 175 °C.

Feature Summary

• Optimized for ultralow forward voltage drop and hyperfast recovery characteristics
• Platinum-doped lifetime control ensures ruggedness and reliability
• Soft recovery design minimizes switching losses and over-dissipation

Applications

• PFC boost stages in AC-DC sections of SMPS
• Inverter circuits
• Freewheeling diode applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging orientation and lead-free status. Standard production tubes contain 50 pieces. Tape and reel options are available with left or right orientation for the D2PAK package. Confirm technical specifications against the latest datasheet revision before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component for high-frequency switching applications requiring low reverse recovery charge. Ensure thermal management maintains the junction temperature within the -65 °C to 175 °C range. Consider the 170 A non-repetitive peak surge current capability for transient protection requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay 15ETX series of FRED Pt hyperfast rectifiers. The 'S' suffix specifically denotes the D2PAK surface-mount case style, distinguishing it from the TO-262 (TO-262) variant designated by the '-1' suffix. Both share identical electrical performance metrics.

Replacement Considerations

The 15ETX06-1 serves as the pin-compatible alternative in the TO-262 through-hole package. Verify that the replacement package fits the PCB footprint and mounting torque specifications.
