DSEI2X61-10B

Diode Arrays Overview

The IXYS DSEI2X61-10B is a high-voltage fast recovery epitaxial diode (FRED) designed for demanding power applications. It features two independent elements in a SOT-227 (miniBLOC) package with four pins. The device supports a maximum continuous forward current of 60A and a peak reverse repetitive voltage of 1000V. Key electrical parameters include a peak non-repetitive forward surge current of 450A, a maximum forward voltage of 2.5V at 60A, and a peak reverse recovery time of 40ns. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to 150°C.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• High-speed switching capability with fast recovery characteristics suitable for efficient power conversion
• Dual independent element configuration providing flexible circuit integration options
• Robust thermal performance enabled by the miniBLOC chassis mount packaging design

Diode Arrays Applications

• Industrial motor drives and inverters
• High-frequency DC-DC converters
• Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems
• Welding equipment power stages

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'B' against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm pinout and mechanical dimensions match the target PCB or chassis layout. Ensure the supplier provides traceable documentation confirming the component originates from authorized IXYS channels to guarantee authenticity and reliability standards.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000V rating and 60A continuous current are required alongside rapid switching speeds. The dual-element structure allows for bridge configurations or half-bridge topologies within a single footprint. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the 40ns recovery time and 2.5V forward drop under expected load conditions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the DSEI2X series of fast recovery diodes from IXYS. It utilizes epitaxial technology to achieve low reverse leakage and high blocking voltages. The miniBLOC package is standard for medium-power industrial rectifiers, offering superior heat dissipation compared to smaller surface-mount alternatives.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with DSEI2X61-12B for higher voltage variants or DSEI2X30-10B for lower current needs. Verify that any substitute maintains the 4-pin SOT-227 form factor and identical electrical ratings to ensure compatibility without redesign.
