VS-15EVH06-M3/I

Single Diodes Overview

The VS-15EVH06-M3/I is a hyperfast rectifier from Vishay's eSMP® series, rated for 600 V reverse voltage and 15 A average forward current. It utilizes FRED Pt® technology to achieve a typical reverse recovery time of 20 ns at dIF/dt = 100 A/μs. The device features a low forward voltage drop of 1.2 V at 15 A and 150 °C, with a maximum junction temperature of 175 °C. Packaged in SlimDPAK (TO-252AE), it offers a thermal resistance of 1.25 °C/W.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Hyperfast recovery characteristics with reduced stored charge and soft recovery behavior
• Optimized for Power Factor Correction (PFC) CRM and CCM operations
• Low forward voltage drop and low leakage current for minimized power losses
• Compliant with JESD 201 class 2 whisker test and MSL level 1 moisture sensitivity

Single Diodes Applications

• PFC boost stages in AC/DC sections of SMPS inverters
• Freewheeling diodes in switching circuits
• High-frequency rectification applications requiring low switching losses

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '/I' corresponds to the tape and reel packaging configuration as defined in the manufacturer's ordering information table. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance and halogen-free requirements by checking the 'M3' designation against current environmental declarations. Ensure the requested quantity aligns with the specified base quantity for the selected packaging format.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring high-speed switching with minimal reverse recovery charge. The SlimDPAK package provides efficient thermal dissipation suitable for surface-mount layouts. Evaluate the forward voltage drop at expected operating temperatures to ensure power loss constraints are met. Verify compatibility with the required peak repetitive reverse voltage and surge current ratings for the target application environment.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's eSMP® series of hyperfast rectifiers utilizing FRED Pt® technology. It is designed to replace standard recovery diodes in high-efficiency power supplies. The SlimDPAK package allows for compact PCB designs while maintaining robust thermal performance. It serves as a specialized solution for reducing over-dissipation in switching elements and snubbers.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include VS-15EVH06HM3/I. Cross-referencing should verify identical pinout, voltage ratings, and recovery characteristics. Ensure any replacement maintains the SlimDPAK footprint and thermal resistance specifications.
