HFA15PB60 is a state of the art ultrafast recovery diode.
Employing the latest in epitaxial construction and advanced
processing techniques it features a superb combination of
characteristics which result in performance which is
unsurpassed by any rectifier previously available. With basic
ratings of 600 V and 15 A continuous current, the
HFA15PB60 is especially well suited for use as the
companion diode for IGBTs and MOSFETs. In addition to
ultrafast recovery time, the HEXFRED® product line features
extremely low values of peak recovery current (IRRM) and
does not exhibit any tendency to “snap-off” during the tb
portion of recovery. The HEXFRED features combine to offer
designers a rectifier with lower noise and significantly lower
switching losses in both the diode and the switching
transistor. These HEXFRED advantages can help to
significantly reduce snubbing, component count and
heatsink sizes. The HEXFRED HFA15PB60 is ideally suited
for applications in power supplies and power conversion
systems (such as inverters), motor drives, and many other
similar applications where high speed, high efficiency is
needed.
