DSB20C60PN

Diode Arrays Overview

The IXYS DSB20C60PN is a silicon Schottky diode array featuring a dual common cathode configuration housed in a TO-220FP-3 through-hole package. It supports a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 60 V and an average forward current of 10 A per diode. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 730 mV at 10 A and a reverse leakage current of 6 mA at 60 V. Operating temperatures range from -55°C to +175°C, with a peak forward surge current rating of 100 A.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon Schottky technology for low forward voltage drop and high efficiency.
• Features a dual common cathode arrangement within a single TO-220FP-3 package.
• Designed for high-temperature operation with a junction temperature capability up to 175°C.

Diode Arrays Applications

• High-frequency power supply rectification
• DC-DC converter output stages
• Free-wheeling diodes in inductive load circuits

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as Littelfuse acquired IXYS semiconductor assets. Confirm the specific suffix PN corresponds to the TO-220FP-3 full pack variant. Ensure compliance with RoHS and REACH requirements by checking the latest datasheet documentation provided by the current manufacturer or authorized distributors before finalizing procurement.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-loss, fast-recovery solution is required for 60 V applications. The dual common cathode structure simplifies circuit layout compared to discrete pairs. Verify that the thermal management design accommodates the 175°C maximum junction temperature and that the 10 A continuous current rating meets the load requirements without excessive derating.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the DSB20C series of general-purpose Schottky rectifiers. It is distinct from the DPG series, which utilizes different technologies like HiPerFRED. The TO-220FP-3 package provides robust mechanical mounting and thermal dissipation capabilities suitable for medium-power industrial and consumer electronics applications requiring reliable rectification.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 60 V, 10 A dual common cathode Schottky diodes in TO-220FP packages. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance characteristics against alternatives from Littelfuse or other manufacturers offering equivalent electrical specifications.
