HFA30PA40C

SEMICONDUCTOR HFA30PA40C RRooHHSS Nell High Power Products FRED Ultrafast Soft Recovery Diode 2 x 15A / 400V FEATURES Ultrafast recovery time Very low leakage current Very low Qrr Specified at operating conditions Designed and qualified for industrial level Planar FRED Chip 175°C operating junction temperature BENEFITS Reduced RFI and EMI Reduced power loss in diode and switching transistor Higher frequency operation Reduced snubbing Reduced parts count TO-247 AB common cathode 2 DESCRIPTION HFA30PA40C is a state of the art center tap ultrafast recovery diode. Employing the latest in epitaxial construction and advanced processing techniques it features a superb combination of characteristics which result in performance which is unsurpassed by any rectifier previously available. With basic ratings of 400V and 15A per leg continuous current, the HFA30PA40C is especially well suited for use as the companion diode for IGBTs and MOSFETs. In addition to ultrafast recovery time, the FRED product line features extremely low values of peak recovery current (IRRM) and does not exhibit any tendency to “snap-off” during the tb portion of recovery. The FRED features combine to offer designers a rectifier with lower noise and significantly lower switching losses in both the diode and the switching transistor. These FRED advantages can help to significantly reduce snubbing, component count and heatsink sizes. The FRED HFA30PA40C is ideally suited for applications in power conversion sys...
