VS-30EPH06PBF

Single Diodes Overview

The VS-30EPH06PBF is a hyperfast recovery rectifier manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. It features an average forward current rating of 30 A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 600 V. The device utilizes FRED Pt® technology with platinum-doped lifetime control to achieve optimized performance characteristics, including low forward voltage drop and soft recovery. Electrical specifications indicate a maximum forward voltage of 2.6 V at 30 A and a typical reverse recovery time of 28 ns under standard test conditions. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C and is housed in a TO-247AC 2L through-hole package.
