8EWF06S

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay 8EWF06S is a surface-mountable fast soft recovery rectifier in the IR Series, housed in a TO-252AA (D-Pak) package. It features a maximum average forward current of 8 A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 600 V. The device exhibits a low forward voltage drop of 1.2 V at 8 A and a reverse recovery time of 55 ns. It supports a surge current of 170 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -40 °C to 150 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Optimized for combined short reverse recovery time, low forward voltage drop, and low leakage current
• Glass passivation ensures stable reliable operation under severe temperature and power cycling conditions

Single Diodes Applications

• Output rectification and freewheeling diode in inverters, choppers, and converters
• Input rectifications requiring strict limitations on conducted EMI

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's documentation to confirm tape and reel orientation and packaging details. Ensure the component matches the required voltage code and package style for your design. Cross-reference the datasheet revision to confirm all electrical specifications remain unchanged before finalizing procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a single diode configuration with high voltage blocking capability is required in a compact surface-mount footprint. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics and the specific reverse recovery performance metrics for high-frequency switching applications where minimizing conduction losses and electromagnetic interference is critical.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 8EWF..S series of fast soft recovery rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings, such as 200 V and 400 V options, all sharing the same D-Pak package and general electrical architecture designed for efficient power conversion.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution lists for verified equivalents. Generic replacements must match the 600 V rating, 8 A current capacity, and TO-252AA package dimensions.
