Fast Soft Recovery Rectifier Diode, 40 A

40EPF..PbF Soft Recovery Series

Vishay High Power Products

FEATURES/DESCRIPTION

The 40EPF..PbF fast soft recovery rectifier series

has been optimized for combined short reverse

recovery time and low forward voltage drop.

The glass passivation ensures stable reliable

operation in the most severe temperature and

power cycling conditions.

This product series has been designed and qualified for

industrial level.

Compliant to RoHS directive 2002/95/EC.
