VS-10CWH02FN-M3

Diode Arrays Overview

The VS-10CWH02FN-M3 is a hyperfast recovery rectifier from Vishay Semiconductors, utilizing FRED Pt® technology. It features a common cathode configuration with two elements in a DPAK (TO-252AA) package. Key electrical parameters include a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 200 V and an average rectified forward current of 10 A at a case temperature of 160 °C. The typical reverse recovery time is 23 ns, with a maximum junction operating temperature of 175 °C.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Hyperfast recovery time with soft recovery characteristics
• Low forward voltage drop to reduce Qrr and switching losses
• Low leakage current for improved efficiency
• Planar structure with platinum doped lifetime control

Diode Arrays Applications

• PFC boost stage in AC/DC section of SMPS inverters
• Output rectification freewheeling diodes
• High frequency switching power supplies

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm packaging type. Suffixes such as TR, TRL, or TRR indicate tape and reel variations, while no suffix denotes tube packaging. Ensure compliance requirements match the -M3 designation for halogen-free and lead-free terminations before finalizing procurement orders.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when low stored charge and fast switching are required to minimize over-dissipation in snubbers and switching elements. The device supports high thermal performance up to 175 °C junction temperature. Verify that the application voltage does not exceed the 200 V rating and that thermal management accommodates the specified forward voltage drop at the target load current.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the VS-10CWH series of hyperfast rectifiers designed by Vishay Semiconductors. The 'H' indicates hyperfast recovery, '02' specifies the 200 V voltage rating, and 'FN' identifies the TO-252AA package style. The -M3 suffix confirms environmental compliance with RoHS standards and lead-free terminations.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include VS-10CWH02FNTR-M3 (tape and reel), VS-10CWH02FNTRL-M3 (left-oriented reel), and VS-10CWH02FNTRR-M3 (right-oriented reel). These share identical electrical characteristics but differ only in packaging format.
