Rutronik: extremely fast 200 V FRED-Pt rectifiers from VishayERT

Rutronik

Rutronik is expanding its range of rectifiers with the four new series of ultra-fast 200 V FRED-Pt from Vishay. The VS-1EAH02xM3 (1 A), VS-2EAH02xM3 (2 A), VS-3EAH02xM3 (3 A) and VS-5EAH02xM3 (5 A) have improved thermal performance and increased performance. Their low-profile DFN3820A housings provide a space-saving solution with high efficiency – predestined for commercial, industrial and especially automotive applications.

The four new series of surface mount ultra-fast rectifiers come in the industry’s first Power DFN3820A low-profile packages measuring just 3.8mm x 2.0mm with a typical height of just 0.88 mm, enabling highly effective utilisation of PCB space. They also offer excellent thermal performance due to the optimized copper mass design and die placement technology, enabling operation at higher current levels. Wettable flanks allow automatic optical inspection (AOI) without the use of X-rays.

The rectifiers offer equivalent or higher rated currents than larger components in conventional SMB and SMC housings and therefore score points with a more than doubled current carrying capacity with a profile height reduced by 12 %. The low forward voltage drop (up to 0.71 V) reduces power losses and improves efficiency. The reverse leakage current is up to 1 μA.
