VS-E5TX1506S2L-M3

Single Diodes Overview

The VS-E5TX1506S2L-M3 is a hyperfast rectifier from Vishay Semiconductors, utilizing FRED Pt® G5 technology. It features a 600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and a 15 A average forward current rating in a D2PAK 2L (TO-263AB 2L) surface-mount package. The device offers a typical reverse recovery time of 19 ns at 25 °C and a maximum junction temperature of 175 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Optimized for high-speed operation with a trade-off between low forward voltage drop and switching losses
• Features polyimide passivation and meets MSL level 1 per J-STD-020 standards
• Designed and qualified according to JEDEC JESD 47 stress test conditions

Single Diodes Applications

• Soft-switched and resonant converters
• Medium-frequency hard switching converters
• High-speed LLC output rectification stages in EV/HEV battery charging stations
• High-frequency stages of UPS applications

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'L' indicates tape and reel packaging orientation when sourcing components. Confirm that the requested quantity aligns with the standard base quantity of 800 units per 13-inch diameter reel. Ensure compliance with RoHS and halogen-free material requirements as specified by the '-M3' designation.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring fast recovery characteristics combined with low conduction losses. The D2PAK 2L package provides efficient thermal dissipation suitable for power densities up to 15 A. Evaluate the 1.72 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance against your heatsinking strategy to maintain safe operating temperatures under continuous load.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the VS-E5TX series, representing Vishay's fifth generation of FRED Pt® technology. It serves as a surface-mount alternative to through-hole rectifiers, offering improved switching performance over standard fast recovery diodes while maintaining robustness for industrial and automotive-grade power conversion environments.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Vishay FRED Pt G5 devices within the same voltage and current ratings, such as the VS-E5TX1506S2L-N3 or variants with different packaging orientations. Cross-brand replacements require matching the 600 V blocking voltage, 15 A current capacity, and similar reverse recovery time specifications.
