The VS-VS5HD240CW60 from Vishay is an Ultrafast Rectifier Diode that is ideal for HF welding, power converters, and other applications where switching losses are a significant portion of the total losses. It has a forward voltage of 1.67 V and a forward current of 240 A. This diode has a reverse voltage of less than 600 V and a reverse current of 0.18 mA. It has a non-repetitive peak forward current of up to 1300 A. This power diode’s efficient design provides the best-in-class forward voltage drop and a trade-off in switching losses. It is optimized for high-speed operation and ensures reduced RF and electromagnetic interference. This RoHS-compliant power diode is available in a screw-mount package that measures 93 x 21 x 17.5 mm.
