VS-C5PX3012LHN3

Diode Arrays Overview

The VS-C5PX3012LHN3 is a hyperfast rectifier from the FRED Pt® Gen 5 platform, featuring a common cathode configuration in a TO-247AD 3L package. It provides a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1200 V and an average forward current of 15 A per leg. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 3.3 V at 15 A and 25 °C, with a typical reverse recovery time of 29 ns under standard test conditions. It supports a non-repetitive peak surge current of 110 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +175 °C.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Hyperfast recovery characteristics optimized for high-speed operation
• Balanced trade-off between low forward voltage drop and switching losses
• AEC-Q101 qualified with JESD 201 class 2 whisker test compliance
• Polyimide passivation for enhanced reliability

Diode Arrays Applications

• High frequency converters including soft switched and resonant topologies
• PFC and output rectification stages of EV/HEV battery charging stations
• Booster stages of solar inverters and UPS applications

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Vishay documentation to confirm environmental compliance and qualification status. Ensure that the TO-247AD 3L mounting torque requirements are met during assembly. Confirm thermal management design aligns with the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance values provided in the datasheet.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high efficiency in high-frequency power conversion environments. The common cathode arrangement simplifies circuit topology for dual-leg configurations. Evaluate thermal constraints carefully, as the 15 A rating is dependent on case temperature limits defined in the derating curves.
