APT15DQ100BCTG

Overview

The APT15DQ100BCTG is a dual common cathode ultrafast recovery diode manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features a 1000 V reverse voltage rating and a 15 A average forward current capability. The device utilizes a TO-247-3 through-hole package for robust thermal performance. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 2.3 V at 15 A, a reverse leakage current of 100 uA, and a soft recovery time of 300 ns. It supports a surge current of 80 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +175°C.

Feature Summary

• Ultrafast soft recovery characteristics minimize switching losses and electromagnetic interference during high-frequency operation.
• Dual common cathode configuration integrates two independent diodes into a single package for space-efficient circuit design.
• Robust TO-247-3 leaded package provides reliable mechanical mounting and efficient heat dissipation for power applications.

Applications

• High-frequency switched-mode power supplies
• Induction heating systems
• Motor drive inverters

Procurement Notes
