HER606-AP

Single Diodes Overview

The HER606-AP is a single-phase silicon rectifier from the HER601–HER608 series by Micro Commercial Components. It provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600V and an average forward current rating of 6A at 55°C ambient temperature. The device features a maximum RMS voltage of 420V and a DC blocking voltage of 600V. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.7V at 6.0A, a maximum reverse recovery time of 75ns, and a typical junction capacitance of 65pF measured at 1.0MHz with 4.0V reverse bias.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging format. The -AP suffix indicates Ammo Pack packaging containing 450 pieces per box. Confirm compliance requirements such as RoHS status and ensure procurement channels are authorized distributors to guarantee genuine parts with full traceability. Check datasheet derating curves for thermal management planning.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600V reverse voltage rating and 6A continuous current capacity are required. Consider the 75ns reverse recovery time for switching frequency limitations compared to faster variants. Evaluate thermal dissipation needs against the 6A rating at 55°C using the provided derating curve. Ensure the DO-201AD package fits the mechanical constraints of the target assembly.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the HER60xGP/TP/AP family of high-efficiency rectifiers manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. The series covers voltage ratings from 50V to 1000V within the same physical footprint. The HER606 specifically targets mid-range voltage applications requiring reliable high-current rectification with fast recovery characteristics suitable for general electronic equipment.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same MCC series include HER606GP (Tape & Reel) or HER606-BP (Bulk). Cross-manufacturer replacements must match the 600V PIV, 6A IF(AV), 75ns Trr, and DO-201AD package dimensions.
