8EWF06STRL

Overview

The Vishay 8EWF06STRL 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 low forward voltage drop of 1.2 V at 8 A and a typical reverse recovery time of 55 ns. Glass passivation ensures stable operation under severe temperature and power cycling conditions.

Feature Summary

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

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the tape and reel orientation. The 'TRL' designation indicates a left orientation reel configuration. Ensure the component matches the required voltage code and package style before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-speed switching with minimal reverse recovery charge. The TO-252AA package provides efficient thermal dissipation for surface mount designs. Confirm that the 600 V rating aligns with the circuit's peak reverse voltage requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 8EWF..S series of fast soft recovery rectifiers originally developed by International Rectifier and acquired by Vishay. The series is designed for high-efficiency power conversion applications where minimizing switching losses and electromagnetic interference is critical.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include VS-8EWF06STR-M3 and VS-8EWF06S-M3. Verify electrical parameters and package dimensions when substituting.
