Littelfuse IXYS DH60-18A diode featuring fast recovery and avalanche voltage rating for high frequency
Product Overview
The DH60-18A is a high-performance, fast recovery diode featuring low loss and soft recovery characteristics. Designed with planar passivated chips, it offers very low leakage current, significantly short recovery times, and improved thermal behavior. Its very low Irm-values and soft reverse recovery contribute to reduced power dissipation and turn-on losses in commutating switches, minimizing EMI/RFI. This diode is avalanche voltage rated for reliable operation and is ideal for use as an antiparallel diode for high-frequency switching devices, antisaturation diode, snubber diode, and free-wheeling diode. It is also suitable for rectifiers in switch mode power supplies (SMPS) and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).
