DSSK80-0045B

Diode Arrays Overview

The IXYS DSSK80-0045B is a dual Schottky rectifier diode array featuring a common cathode configuration. It is housed in a TO-3P-3 full pack through-hole package, designed for high-power applications requiring low forward voltage and fast switching characteristics. The device supports a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 45V and provides an average forward current of 40A per diode. Operating temperatures range from -55°C to +150°C junction temperature.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Very low forward voltage (VF) for enhanced efficiency
• Extremely low switching losses suitable for high-frequency operation
• Low reverse leakage current (IRM) values
• Epoxy resin meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating

Diode Arrays Applications

• DC-DC converters
• Free-wheeling rectification in power supplies
• Inductive load protection circuits

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized IXYS distributors or certified agents. Confirm the specific package variant matches the TO-3P-3 full pack requirement. Check for obsolescence status as power semiconductor lifecycles vary. Ensure storage conditions maintain epoxy integrity prior to assembly.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when low forward voltage drop and minimal switching energy are critical design constraints. The common cathode topology simplifies circuit layout for synchronous rectification or freewheeling duties. Evaluate thermal management capabilities given the 40A current rating and TO-3P-3 package thermal resistance.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the DSSK series of power Schottky rectifiers manufactured by IXYS Corporation. The series utilizes standard international packaging standards to facilitate integration into existing industrial and commercial power electronics designs. It represents a specialized solution for high-current, low-voltage rectification tasks.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

DSSK80-0045B is listed as obsolete. The DSSK80-0045B is the primary reference; however, cross-reference with current IXYS inventory or equivalent specifications from other manufacturers if supply chain continuity is required.
