8EWF06STR

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay 8EWF06STR is a surface-mountable fast soft recovery rectifier diode in the 8EWF..S series, housed in a TO-252AA (D-Pak) package. It features an average forward current rating of 8 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.2 V at 8 A and a typical reverse recovery time of 55 ns. Maximum surge current capability reaches 170 A under rated voltage conditions. Operating junction temperature ranges from -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 and reliable operation under severe temperature and power cycling conditions.

Single Diodes Applications

• Output rectification and freewheeling diodes in inverters, choppers, and converters.
• Input rectification applications requiring strict adherence to conducted EMI restrictions.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TRL' indicates left orientation reel packaging when ordering. Confirm that the component represents the Vishay acquisition of International Rectifier's Power Control Systems business. Ensure the datasheet revision matches the required specifications for your design constraints.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for high-frequency switching applications where minimizing reverse recovery losses is critical. The TO-252AA package provides adequate thermal dissipation for 8 A continuous operation. Evaluate the 600 V rating against circuit peak voltages to ensure sufficient safety margins during transient events.

Single Diodes Part Context
