Vishay Intertechnology Launches New AEC-Q101 Qualified High Voltage Thyristors and Diodes

Monday, May 7, 2018 3:00 PM UTC

MALVERN, Pa., May 07, 2018 -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH) today introduced 37 new high voltage thyristors and diodes for automotive applications. Qualified to AEC-Q101, the Vishay Semiconductors devices offer repetitive voltages from 600 V to 1600 V and wide current ranges in three package options.

The devices released today are available in surface-mount DPAK (TO-252AA) and D²PAK (TO-263AB) packages and in the through-hole TO-247AD. The nine new thyristors deliver continuous RMS on-state current from 12 A to 79 A, while the 28 standard and fast recovery diodes offer forward current from 8 A to 65 A. All devices provide up to 1000 V/µs immunity.

The thyristors and diodes are designed for use in the 50 Hz / 60 Hz AC line rectification stage for on-board battery chargers in electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), where they supply a full range of charging power from 3 kW to over 30 kW. For inrush current limiting, the thyristors enable soft start functionality without the use of resistors and bulky mechanical relays.

Device Specification Table:

Thyristors	Package	I_RMS (A)	V_RRM/V_DRM (V)	Configuration
	D²PAK (TO-263AB)	12 to 25	800 to 1600	Single
	TO-247AD	30 to 79	1200 to 1600	Single
Diodes	Package	I_F(AV) (A)	V_RRM (V)	Configuration
	DPAK (TO-252AA)	8	600 to 1600	Single; Fast recovery; standard recovery
	D²PAK (TO-263AB)	10 to 25	600 to 1200
	TO-247AD	35 to 65	600 to 1600

Samples and production quantities of the new thyristors and diodes are available now, with lead times of 12 to 14 weeks.
