VS-20ETF04PBF

Single Diodes Overview

The VS-20ETF04PBF is a fast soft recovery rectifier diode from Vishay Semiconductors, housed in a TO-220 FULL-PAK package. It features a maximum average forward current of 20 A and a maximum peak reverse voltage of 400 V. The device exhibits a typical reverse recovery time of 60 ns and a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.30 V at 20 A. It supports a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C and includes glass passivation for stable operation.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated pellet chip junction ensures stable and reliable operation under severe temperature and power cycling conditions.
• Fully isolated package provides high isolation voltage capability suitable for demanding electrical environments.
• Optimized design combines short reverse recovery time with low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency.

Single Diodes Applications

• Output rectification and freewheeling in inverters, choppers, and converters
• Input rectification where strict limitations on conducted electromagnetic interference are required

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm compliance requirements. The PbF designation indicates lead-free and RoHS compliance. Confirm that the -M3 suffix variant is available if halogen-free status is required. Always validate datasheet parameters against the latest manufacturer documentation before finalizing procurement specifications.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-diode configuration with a 400 V rating is needed for high-frequency switching applications. The TO-220 FULL-PAK package offers robust thermal performance for average currents up to 20 A. Ensure the application operates within the specified 150 °C junction temperature limit and accounts for the 60 ns reverse recovery characteristics during circuit design.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the VS-20ETF0..FP series of fast soft recovery rectifiers. The series includes variants rated for 200 V, 400 V, and 600 V, all sharing the same 20 A current rating and TO-220 FULL-PAK packaging. The '04' code specifically denotes the 400 V reverse voltage rating within this product family.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

VS-20ETF04FP-M3 is the halogen-free alternative within the same series. Both parts share identical electrical ratings and physical dimensions, allowing for direct substitution based on environmental compliance requirements.
