DSA20C60PB

Diode Arrays Overview

The DSA20C60PB is a high-performance Schottky rectifier manufactured by IXYS, belonging to the HiPerFRED2 series. It features a common cathode dual anode configuration housed in a TO-220AB-3 through-hole package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 60 V and a continuous forward current of 20 A at 25°C. The device exhibits a low forward voltage drop of 730 mV and a maximum reverse leakage current of 2 mA. It supports a peak surge current of 220 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Low forward voltage drop for enhanced efficiency
• Soft recovery characteristics to minimize switching losses
• Common cathode dual anode configuration

Diode Arrays Applications

• High-frequency DC-DC converters
• Free-wheeling diodes in power supplies
• Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin as Littelfuse acquired IXYS; confirm datasheet version matches current specifications. Check RoHS compliance status and REACH SVHC declarations before integration. Ensure the TO-220AB-3 package pinout aligns with PCB layout requirements. Validate thermal management capabilities against the specified power dissipation limits.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring low conduction losses and fast switching speeds. The 60 V rating suits low-voltage output stages. Compare the 20 A current capacity against load requirements. Consider the TO-220AB-3 package for through-hole mounting convenience. Evaluate thermal resistance values for heatsink design compatibility.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the HiPerFRED2 family of fast recovery diodes from IXYS, now under Littelfuse. The series is designed for high-efficiency power conversion. The DSA variant specifically denotes a dual anode common cathode structure. This configuration allows for bridge-less PFC or synchronous rectification topologies.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

DSA30C60PB offers higher current capacity. DSA20C45PB provides a lower voltage rating. Verify pin compatibility and thermal performance when substituting.
