DSSK70-008A

Diode Arrays Overview

The DSSK70-008A is a dual common cathode Schottky rectifier manufactured by IXYS. It features an 800V repetitive peak reverse voltage and a total average forward current of 70A. The device utilizes silicon carbide (SiC) technology to achieve low forward voltage drop and high thermal stability. Packaged in the TO-247AD form factor, it supports flange mounting for efficient heat dissipation. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to 175°C and complies with RoHS3 standards.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon carbide material for superior thermal performance and high-temperature operation
• Dual common cathode configuration integrates two independent rectifiers in a single package
• Low forward voltage drop characteristics minimize conduction losses during switching operations

Diode Arrays Applications

• High-frequency DC-DC converters
• Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems
• Industrial motor drive freewheeling circuits

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact electrical tolerances and pinout configurations. Confirm compliance with current environmental regulations such as RoHS3 before integration. Ensure the selected package variant matches the required thermal management strategy for the target application environment.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when high efficiency at elevated temperatures is critical. The SiC construction offers better performance than standard silicon alternatives in harsh environments. Evaluate the thermal resistance requirements of the system to ensure adequate heatsinking for the TO-247AD package under continuous load conditions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the DSSK series of silicon carbide Schottky rectifiers from IXYS. The series is designed for applications requiring high reliability and low switching losses. The dual configuration allows for compact circuit designs in synchronous rectification or bridge topologies where space and thermal management are constrained.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference lists for verified substitutes. Ensure any replacement maintains the 800V rating and 70A current capacity. Verify that alternative packages support equivalent thermal dissipation capabilities.
