DSA60C60PB

Diode Arrays Overview

The DSA60C60PB is a high-performance Schottky diode manufactured by IXYS, part of the HiPerFRED 2nd generation series. It features a common cathode configuration designed for low loss and soft recovery applications. The device is housed in a TO-247AD-3 package with through-hole mounting. Key electrical specifications include a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60 V and an average forward current rating of 60 A. The component exhibits a typical forward voltage of approximately 0.55 V at rated current and a maximum reverse leakage current of 10 mA at 60 V. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +175°C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix PB against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm pinout and packaging details. Ensure compatibility with RoHS and REACH regulations as required by your region. Confirm that the supplier provides genuine IXYS products to avoid counterfeit components. Check for any recent product change notifications or end-of-life notices from Littelfuse/IXYS before finalizing procurement plans.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when low forward voltage and fast soft recovery are critical for efficiency in high-current, low-voltage applications. The 60A rating suits moderate power levels where thermal dissipation in a TO-247 package is manageable. Consider the 60V voltage rating carefully to ensure adequate headroom for transient spikes in the target circuit design.

Diode Arrays Part Context

The DSA60C60PB belongs to the HiPerFRED2 family, which utilizes advanced silicon carbide technology to improve performance over standard silicon diodes. This series is engineered for high-frequency switching applications where minimizing reverse recovery charge is essential. IXYS, now part of Littelfuse, designs these devices to replace slower diodes in modern power electronics.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Potential substitutes include the DSA30C60PB for lower current needs or the DSB30C60PB. For higher current ratings within the same voltage class, consider the DSA60C45HB or DSA60C100HB if voltage tolerance permits. Always verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substitution.
