VS-71HF100M

Single Diodes Overview

The VS-71HF100M is a standard recovery rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a 1 kV maximum repetitive reverse voltage and a 70 A average forward current rating. The device is housed in a DO-203AB (DO-5) stud mount package, with an alternative TO-220 variant available as the VS-15ETH06FP-N3 for lower current applications. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage of 1.35 V at 220 A surge current and a maximum reverse leakage current of 9 mA. The unit supports a maximum surge current of 1.25 kA and operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +180°C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering, as it may indicate lead-free or RoHS compliance status. Confirm the exact package type required, as the series includes both stud-mount and through-hole variants. Ensure the selected component matches the thermal requirements of the application, given the wide operating temperature range. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with official datasheets to confirm availability and technical specifications before finalizing procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high current handling with standard recovery times. The DO-223AB package facilitates direct mounting to heatsinks. Consider the 1.25 kA surge rating for inrush current protection. Evaluate thermal resistance requirements based on the stud mount interface. Compare against other Vishay HF series parts if different voltage or current ratings are needed.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the Vishay High Frequency (HF) rectifier series, which utilizes advanced silicon planar technology. The series is engineered for reliability in demanding power electronics environments. The VS-71HF100M specifically addresses needs for high-current, medium-voltage rectification where standard recovery characteristics are sufficient.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Check for equivalent parts from Vishay such as the 71HF100 series. Verify pinout compatibility for stud-mounted configurations. Ensure replacement devices meet or exceed the 1 kV reverse voltage and 70 A current ratings.
