DSEI120-06A

Single Diodes Overview

The IXYS DSEI120-06A is a high-efficiency fast recovery diode designed for demanding power conversion applications. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage (Vrrm) of 600 V and a maximum continuous forward current (If) of 14 A. The device exhibits a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 70 ns, ensuring minimal switching losses in high-frequency circuits. Packaged in a TO-220AC housing with two pins, it supports through-hole mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage (Vf) of 2.35 V at rated current and a non-repetitive peak surge current (Ifsm) of 80 A. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +150°C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code on the physical component to ensure exact matching with the requested datasheet specifications. Confirm that the manufacturer designation aligns with IXYS or its successor entity, Littelfuse, as corporate structures may affect labeling. Request official documentation directly from authorized distributors to validate authenticity and traceability before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring fast recovery times around 70 ns combined with moderate current ratings up to 14 A. Ensure the thermal management solution can handle the power dissipation associated with the specified forward voltage drop. Compare alternative packages if space constraints differ from the standard TO-220AC dimensions provided in the official mechanical drawings.
