Ultrafast Soft Recovery Diode, 210 A

HFA90NH40PbF

Vishay High Power Products

FEATURES

• Lead (Pb)-free

• Designed and qualified for industrial level

BENEFITS

• Reduced RFI and EMI

• Reduced snubbing

DESCRIPTION

EMI/RFI in high frequency power conditioning systems. An

extensive characterization of the recovery behavior for

different values of current, temperature and dI/dt simplifies

the calculations of losses in the operating conditions. The

softness of the recovery eliminates the need for a snubber in

most applications. These devices are ideally suited for

power converters, motors drives and other applications

where switching losses are significant portion of the total

losses.
