Vishay Switching Diode Single 8 A 600 V TO-252 4-Pin Hyperfast Recovery VS-8EWX06FN-M3

Vishay VS-8EWX06FN-M3 is a high-performance switching diode designed for industrial and electronic applications requiring efficient rectification and switching.

This single diode supports a maximum forward current of 8 A and peak reverse repetitive voltage of 600 V, housed in a compact TO-252 surface mount package with 4 pins, optimizing circuit board space and thermal management.

The device features a hyperfast recovery time of 64 nanoseconds and extremely low stored charge for minimal switching losses, making it ideal for power factor correction boost stages and freewheeling diode functions in AC/DC switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) and inverters.

Engineered with a planar structure and platinum doped lifetime control, it ensures ruggedness and reliability at high operating junction temperatures up to 175 °C and wide temperature operating range from -65 °C to 175 °C.

Electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage drop of 0.85 V, supporting efficient power conversion and reduced energy dissipation in switching elements and snubber circuits.

Typical applications cover industrial power electronics systems, power supplies, and energy conversion devices where hyperfast and efficient diode switching is crucial. Hyperfast recovery time minimizes switching losses during operation.

Rated for 175 °C maximum operating junction temperature. Extremely low stored charge and low recovery current reduce overdissipation. Designed for power factor correction in SMPS boost converters and as freewheeling diode.

Compact TO-252 surface mount package with 4 pins. Operates within a wide temperature range from -65 °C to 175 °C. Discover more semiconductor Switching Diodes and related components in the Electronics & Electricals category on EnvMart for all your industrial and electronic component needs.
