APT15DQ100BGVAO

Overview

The APT15DQ100BGVAO is a Fast Recovery Epitaxial Diode (FRED) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features a 1000 V reverse voltage rating and a 15 A forward current capability in a TO-247 package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 3.06 V, a reverse current of 100 uA, and a recovery time of 300 ns. The device supports a maximum surge current of 80 A and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +175°C.

Feature Summary

• Fast recovery epitaxial diode construction for high-speed switching applications
• Soft recovery characteristics to minimize electromagnetic interference
• High thermal stability with an operating junction temperature up to 175°C

Applications

• High-frequency power supply circuits
• Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems
• Motor drive inverters

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VAO' against official Microchip documentation to confirm compliance details and manufacturing status. Confirm that the TO-247 pinout matches the target PCB footprint. Check for any product change notices or end-of-life announcements prior to final design approval.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000 V blocking capability and 15 A continuous current are required in a through-hole TO-247 package. Consider the 300 ns recovery time for switching frequency requirements. Ensure the thermal management solution accommodates the 3.06 V forward voltage drop at full load.

Part Context

This part belongs to the APT series of fast recovery rectifiers from Microchip Technology. It shares similar electrical ratings with the APT15DQ100KGVAO but utilizes a different package style. The series is designed for efficient energy conversion in industrial and consumer electronics power stages.

Replacement Considerations

The APT15DQ100KGVAO is a comparable alternative offering identical electrical specifications in a TO-220 package. Verify pin compatibility and thermal dissipation requirements before substitution.
