DSEI2X61-06C

Diode Arrays Overview

The IXYS DSEI2X61-06C is a fast recovery epitaxial diode (FRED) featuring two independent chips in an SOT-227B miniBLOC package. It provides a peak reverse voltage of 600 V and supports a maximum average forward current of 60 A per diode at 70°C case temperature. The device exhibits a typical reverse recovery time of 35 ns, with a maximum rating of 50 ns under specified test conditions. It operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +150°C and includes an isolation voltage rating of 2500 Vrms.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Contains two independent fast recovery diodes within a single planar passivated chip structure
• Features extremely low switching losses and soft recovery behavior for reduced noise
• Provides high electrical isolation capability between terminals and heatsink
• Utilizes an international standard miniBLOC package compatible with ISOTOP mounting

Diode Arrays Applications

• Antiparallel diode for high frequency switching devices
• Free wheeling diode in converters and motor control circuits
• Rectifiers in switch mode power supplies (SMPS)
• Snubber diode applications
• Inductive heating and melting systems

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' against official datasheets to confirm pinout and thermal characteristics match the intended design requirements. Ensure that the mounting torque specifications are strictly adhered to during installation to maintain the rated isolation voltage and prevent mechanical failure. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives if required by the final assembly standards.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring dual isolated fast recovery rectification in a compact form factor. The 600 V rating suits medium voltage applications where lower leakage currents and faster switching speeds are critical. Evaluate the thermal impedance parameters to ensure adequate heat sinking is provided for the 180 W power dissipation capacity at 25°C case temperature.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the DSEI 2x 61 series from IXYS, designed as a Fast Recovery Epitaxial Diode. The series utilizes planar passivation technology to enhance reliability and switching performance. It is housed in the miniBLOC package, which facilitates efficient thermal transfer and allows for direct mounting onto printed circuit boards or heatsinks using standard M4 hardware.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

The DSEI2X61-04C serves as a verified alternative within the same series, offering identical physical dimensions and electrical configurations but with a reduced 400 V peak reverse voltage rating. Verify that the system voltage requirements do not exceed the lower rating of the substitute part.
