DPG20C300PB

Diode Arrays Overview

The IXYS DPG20C300PB is a dual switching diode from the HiPerFRED2 series, housed in a TO-220AB-3 through-hole package. It features a peak reverse voltage of 300 V and a maximum forward current of 20 A. The device supports a surge current of 100 A with a typical recovery time of 35 ns. Forward voltage is specified at 1.45 V, while reverse current remains at 1 uA. Operating temperatures range from -55 C to +175 C.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Dual configuration for common cathode applications
• HiPerFRED2 technology for fast recovery performance
• High thermal stability up to 175 C junction temperature

Diode Arrays Applications

• High-frequency power supplies
• Free-wheeling rectification in motor drives
• Snubber circuits in inverters

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix PB against official datasheets to confirm the TO-220AB-3 package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status via manufacturer documentation before integration. Ensure thermal management aligns with the 175 C maximum junction rating during operation.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual diode configuration is required within a standard TO-220 footprint. The 35 ns recovery time suits high-speed switching environments. Compare forward voltage drops against system efficiency requirements relative to alternative packages in the same voltage class.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the IXYS HiPerFRED2 family, designed for high-efficiency power conversion. The DPG20C300PB specifically addresses needs for moderate current handling with fast recovery characteristics. It complements other devices in the series offering different voltage or current ratings.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible substitutes within the DPG20C300 series that may offer updated packaging or slight parameter variations. Verify electrical equivalence for peak reverse voltage and forward current before substitution.
