VS-6FL20S02

Single Diodes Overview

The VS-6FL20S02 is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V and an average forward rectified current of 6 A. The device utilizes a DO-203AA (DO-15) axial leaded package, suitable for chassis mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum RMS voltage of 140 V and a surge forward current rating of 200 A. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +175°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Chassis-mountable design for high-reliability industrial applications
• High thermal stability with extended operating temperature range
• Robust surge current handling capability

Single Diodes Applications

• Industrial power supply rectification
• General-purpose DC output rectification
• Chassis-mounted power conversion circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'S02' against the official Vishay datasheet to confirm package dimensions and terminal plating specifications. Ensure the procurement source provides valid RoHS compliance documentation. Confirm that the axial lead configuration matches the target PCB or chassis mounting requirements before finalizing orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a through-hole, chassis-mountable diode is required for 200 V applications. The 6 A continuous current rating supports moderate power levels. Consider the DO-203AA footprint constraints and thermal dissipation needs relative to alternative surface-mount options like the TO-277A series if space is limited.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's general-purpose rectifier lineup, utilizing standard silicon planar technology. It is designed for robust performance in environments requiring reliable AC-to-DC conversion. The axial lead format distinguishes it from modern surface-mount alternatives, catering to legacy designs or specific mechanical mounting needs.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include the VS-6FLR20S02 for similar performance in a different variant context, or other 200V 6A axial diodes from manufacturers such as Littelfuse or STMicroelectronics, provided pinout and thermal ratings are compatible.
