Vishay 1200 V 16 A Standard Recovery Rectifier Diode 2-Pin DO-203AA VS-16F120

Vishay VS-16F120 Standard Recovery Rectifier Diode 2-Pin DO-203AA is engineered for demanding power semiconductor applications. Rated at 1200 V peak reverse repetitive voltage and 16 A maximum continuous forward current, it is ideal for circuits requiring robust switching and rectification.The diode comes in a proven DO-203AA screw-mount package that facilitates efficient heat dissipation and system integration. Its Stud Cathode configuration provides reliable performance characteristics suitable for industrial controllers, power supplies, and inverters.

This diode features a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.23 V contributing to energy efficiency. The device tolerates peak non-repetitive forward surge currents up to 370 A, which allows handling of transient overloads without damage. It operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -65°C to 175°C, supporting high temperature industrial and commercial applications.

Compact mechanical dimensions (length 12.69 mm, diameter 11 mm) ensure fitting in tight assemblies and standard circuits. The absence of automotive certification indicates its primary usage outside automotive-grade electronics.

Applications include industrial power rectifiers, electronic power circuits, and standard recovery diode requirements in discrete semiconductor roles. Vishay's Semiconductor series VS-16F120 is well-established in electrical and electronic component catalogs for its performance and standard packaging.
