60EPU04

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay 60EPU04 is a 60 A ultrafast soft recovery diode (FRED Pt®) with a 400 V reverse voltage rating. It operates at junction temperatures up to 175 °C and features a typical reverse recovery time of 50 ns. The device exhibits a forward voltage of 1.05 V at 60 A and 25 °C, with a maximum thermal resistance of 0.70 K/W from junction to case. Packaged in a TO-247AC modified case, it supports continuous forward currents of 60 A at 127 °C case temperature.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Ultrafast recovery characteristics designed for high-frequency power conditioning systems
• Soft recovery behavior eliminates the need for snubber circuits in most applications
• Optimized to reduce switching losses, RFI, and EMI
• Qualified for industrial level operation with 175 °C junction temperature capability

Single Diodes Applications

• High frequency welding systems
• Power converters
• High frequency power conditioning systems

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current documentation to confirm lead-free status and package variant. Ensure the procurement request specifies the TO-247AC modified case style associated with the 60EPU04 designation. Cross-reference the document number 93020 for the latest electrical specifications and thermal limits before finalizing component selection.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring reduced snubbing and lower electromagnetic interference due to its soft recovery profile. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the 0.70 K/W junction-to-case resistance and the 175 °C maximum operating temperature. Confirm that the 400 V blocking voltage and 60 A continuous current ratings align with the system's peak and average load conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to Vishay's FRED Pt® family of ultrafast soft recovery diodes. It shares the 60APU04 model within the same product line but differs in pin configuration, utilizing a two-pin TO-247AC modified package compared to the three-pin TO-247AC used by the 60APU04. Both variants share identical electrical performance characteristics and thermal properties.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

The 60APU04 is a confirmed substitute part number within the same product series. It offers identical electrical specifications but utilizes a different TO-247AC package configuration. Verify mechanical fit and pinout compatibility when substituting between these two variants.
