Description

International Rectifier's HFA30PA60C is a state of the art center tap ultra fast

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 volts and 15 amps per Leg continuous current, the

HFA30PA60C is especially well suited for use as the companion diode for IGBTs

and MOSFETs. In addition to ultra fast recovery time, the HEXFRED product

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 HFA30PA60C 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.
