DSEC30-06A

Diode Arrays Overview

The DSEC30-06A is a dual common-cathode fast recovery rectifier from the HiPerFRED series by IXYS (Littelfuse). It utilizes planar passivated chips in a TO-247AD through-hole package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 600V and an average forward rectified current of 15A per diode. The device exhibits a typical forward voltage drop of 2.03V at 15A and a reverse leakage current of 100μA at 600V. Its reverse recovery time is specified at 35ns, supporting high-frequency switching applications with low electromagnetic interference.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as IXYS has been acquired by Littelfuse. Confirm the component lifecycle status, which may be listed as transferred or obsolete depending on the distributor's inventory data. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required packaging type, such as tube, if applicable to the assembly process.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring fast switching speeds with minimal reverse recovery charge. The TO-247AD package provides robust thermal dissipation for continuous currents up to 15A per leg. Compare against similar HiPerFRED devices if higher current ratings or different voltage thresholds are required for the specific topology.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to the HiPerFRED family of high-performance fast recovery diodes designed for efficiency in power conversion. The dual common-cathode configuration allows for use in half-bridge or synchronous rectification topologies without requiring separate discrete components for each leg.
