HFA240NJ40CPbF Vishay High Power Products HEXFRED(R) Ultrafast Soft Recovery Diode, 240 A FEATURES Lug terminal anode 1 Lug terminal anode 2 * Very low Qrr and trr * Lead (Pb)-free * Designed and qualified for industrial level RoHS COMPLIANT BENEFITS * Reduced RFI and EMI * Reduced snubbing TO-244 Base common cathode PRODUCT SUMMARY IF(AV) 240 A VR 400 V IF(DC) at TC 197 A at 100 C DESCRIPTION HEXFRED(R) diodes are optimized to reduce losses and EMI/RFI in high frequency power conditioning systems. An extensive characterization of the recovery behavior for different values of current, temperature and dI/dt simplifies the calculations of losses in the operating conditions. The softness of the recovery eliminates the need for a snubber in most applications. These devices are ideally suited for power converters, motors drives and other applications where switching losses are significant portion of the total losses.
