VS-8ESU06-M3/H

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay VS-8ESU06-M3/H is an ultrafast recovery rectifier utilizing FRED Pt® technology, housed in a surface-mount SMPC (TO-277A) package. It features a single diode configuration with a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 600 V and an average forward current rating of 8 A at a case temperature of 137 °C. The device exhibits a typical reverse recovery time of 42 ns and a low forward voltage drop of 1.01 V at 150 °C. Designed for high-frequency switching applications, it supports operating junction temperatures up to 175 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Ultrafast recovery characteristics with reduced stored charge and soft recovery behavior
• Platinum-doped lifetime control ensuring optimized performance and ruggedness
• Low forward voltage drop and minimal leakage current for efficient operation
• Compliant with RoHS standards and halogen-free material composition

Single Diodes Applications

• Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuits
• CRM snubber operations
• Boost converter topologies
• AC/DC sections of Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS)
• Freewheeling and clamp diodes in lighting systems

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging details. The /H suffix indicates a 1500-unit quantity per reel in a 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel format. Confirm that the required minimum order quantity aligns with the specified packaging constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring fast switching speeds and low conduction losses in high-voltage environments. Ensure thermal management strategies accommodate the 175 °C maximum junction temperature limit. Validate that the circuit's peak reverse voltage does not exceed the 600 V rating under all transient conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to Vishay's eSMP® series of ultrafast rectifiers. It is part of a broader family of FRED Pt® products designed for high-efficiency power conversion. The SMPC package provides a compact footprint suitable for automated surface-mount assembly processes while maintaining robust electrical isolation.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the VS-8ESU06-M3/I variant, which shares identical electrical specifications but utilizes a 13-inch diameter tape and reel packaging format containing 6500 units per reel.
