VS-87HFR60

Single Diodes Overview

The VS-87HFR60 is a standard reverse polarity rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage (Vr) of 600 V and an average rectified current (Io) rating of 85 A. The device utilizes a DO-203AB (DO-5) stud mount package, suitable for base mounting applications. Key electrical characteristics include a forward voltage drop of 1.2 V at 267 A and a junction operating temperature range from -65°C to 180°C. The component is classified as a standard speed device with a reverse recovery time greater than 500 ns.

• High-current motor drive circuits
• Welding equipment power stages

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Vishay documentation to ensure correct voltage and current ratings. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to ordering. Ensure mechanical compatibility with existing stud mounting hardware and thermal interface materials. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm pinout and dimensional tolerances match design specifications.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard recovery time exceeding 500 ns is acceptable for the circuit frequency. The 600 V reverse voltage rating provides sufficient margin for typical industrial AC line voltages. Consider the 85 A continuous current capability and the thermal resistance associated with the DO-203AB package for heat sink sizing. Ensure the application does not require fast or ultra-fast recovery characteristics which would necessitate a different series.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the VS-87HFR series of high-power rectifiers designed for general purpose and specialized industrial uses. The series offers various voltage ratings including 600 V, 800 V, and 1000 V options while maintaining consistent current handling and package form factors. These diodes are characterized by their rugged construction and reliability in harsh electrical environments.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include VS-87HFR80 (800 V) and VS-87HFR100 (1000 V), provided the system voltage allows for higher blocking capabilities. Verify that any replacement maintains the identical DO-203AB footprint and terminal configuration to avoid mechanical redesign.
