VS-20ETF10STRL-M3

Single Diodes Overview

The VS-20ETF10STRL-M3 is a surface mount fast soft recovery rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. It features a maximum average forward current of 20 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000 V. The device exhibits a typical reverse recovery time of 95 ns and a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.31 V at 20 A. It is housed in a D2PAK (TO-263AB) package with a base cathode configuration.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated pellet chip junction for stable operation under severe temperature and power cycling conditions
• Optimized design combining short reverse recovery time with low forward voltage drop
• Qualified according to JEDEC-JESD 47 standards

Single Diodes Applications

• Output rectification and freewheeling in inverters, choppers, and converters
• Input rectifications requiring strict limitations on conducted EMI

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'TRL' indicates left-oriented tape and reel packaging when sourcing this component. Confirm RoHS compliance and halogen-free status via the manufacturer's documentation. Ensure the requested quantity aligns with the standard factory packaging requirements for the selected variant.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for high-frequency switching applications where minimizing reverse recovery charge is critical. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance. Consider the 1000 V rating for medium-voltage power conversion circuits requiring robust surge handling capabilities.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the VS-20ETF..S-M3 series of surface mount fast soft recovery rectifiers. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings, specifically 800 V, 1000 V, and 1200 V options. All members share identical current ratings and package styles, differing primarily in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage specifications.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same family include VS-20ETF08STRL-M3 and VS-20ETF12STRL-M3. These alternatives offer identical electrical characteristics except for their respective maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings of 800 V and 1200 V.
