MALVERN, Pa. — Feb. 12, 2020 — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today expanded its offering of Fred Pt^® Ultrafast recovery rectifiers with eight new 100 V and 200 V devices in the eSMP^® series SlimSMAW (DO-221AD) package with a low 0.9 mm profile. Footprint-compatible with the common SOD-128, the Vishay Semiconductors diodes feature larger lead widths than devices in the SlimSMA for increased reliability.

The 2 A and 3 A rectifiers released today offer high current density, while their wide leads provide stronger adhesion to the PCB and improve automated optical inspection (AOI) in automotive systems. FRED Pt® Ultrafast technology enables ultrafast recovery times down to 16 ns at T_J = 25 °C, reduced Q_rr to 20 nC, and soft recovery features over the entire working temperature range of ‑55 °C to +175 °C.

Available in AEC-Q101 qualified versions, the rectifiers feature low forward voltage drop down to 0.69 V, which reduces power losses and improves efficiency in high frequency inverters, DC/DC converters, freewheeling diodes, and power factor correction in automotive engine control units (ECU), anti-lock braking systems (ABS), and HID and LED lighting, and telecom and industrial power supplies.

The devices offer an MSL moisture sensitivity level of 1, per J-STD-020, LF maximum peak of +260 °C. RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, the diodes are ideal for automated placement.

 Device Specification Table:
