VS-VSKE320-04PBF

Single Diodes Overview

The VS-VSKE320-04PBF is a single standard recovery rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V and an average forward rectified current of 320 A. The device utilizes the MAGN-A-PAK® package for base mounting. Key electrical specifications include a maximum reverse leakage current of 50 mA at 1600 V, a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.28 V, and a peak non-repetitive surge current capability of 10.58 kA. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Welding equipment power stages demanding high surge tolerance

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify exact part number alignment as suffixes may indicate specific testing or packaging variations not explicitly detailed in all public summaries. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official datasheets prior to integration. Check manufacturer lifecycle status as components may be subject to discontinuation. Ensure thermal management design accounts for the specified operating temperature limits and mounting requirements.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when system designs require a single-phase rectifier capable of sustaining 320 A continuous load with 400 V blocking voltage. The MAGN-A-PAK® package necessitates board-level or chassis-mounting solutions rather than surface mount processes. Evaluate thermal resistance parameters against heat sink capabilities to maintain junction temperatures within the +150°C maximum limit under full load conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the VSKE320 series from Vishay, which provides high-current rectification solutions in standardized power packages. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings such as 1600 V and 2000 V options. The VSKE320 line is engineered for robust performance in industrial power conversion applications where reliability under high stress conditions is critical.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers include LS411860 from Powerex Inc., which serves as a similar alternative. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal interface specifications before substitution.
