UF600A

Single Diodes Overview

The Diotec Semiconductor UF600A is an ultrafast recovery rectifier diode designed for high-efficiency switching applications. It features a maximum average forward current (IFAV) of 6 A and supports peak forward surge currents up to 270 A at 50 Hz or 300 A at 60 Hz. The device offers a reverse voltage rating of 50 V with a maximum forward voltage of less than 1.0 V at 5 A. Key electrical characteristics include a reverse recovery time under 75 ns, leakage current below 10 µA at rated voltage, and typical junction capacitance of 70 pF. Thermal performance includes a junction-to-ambient resistance of less than 14 K/W and junction-to-lead resistance under 4 K/W. Operating temperatures range from -50°C to +175°C.
