Product details
Overview
VS-12FLR10S02 from Vishay Semiconductors is a fast recovery stud-mount diode rated for 12 A average forward current, 1000 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), and 90 ns reverse recovery time (trr) at TJ = 25 °C with dIF/dt = 25 A/μs. It features low stored charge (Qrr = 200 nC), excellent surge capability (IFSM = 150 A at 60 Hz), and DO-4 (DO-203AA) stud-anode package for high-power DC power supplies and inverters.
For engineers reviewing the VS-12FLR10S02 datasheet, VS-12FLR10S02 pinout, VS-12FLR10S02 application, or VS-12FLR10S02 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1000 V VRRM rating, 90 ns trr under standardized recovery test conditions, stud-anode polarity configuration, and thermal resistance of 2.0 °C/W (junction-to-case).
Technical Context
This device is a single-die, silicon planar fast recovery rectifier optimized for high-efficiency switching in industrial power conversion. Its recovery characteristics are fully characterized per JEDEC® standards using defined dIF/dt and IFM test conditions, enabling predictable snubber design and EMI control.
The DO-4 package uses a threaded metal stud anode for direct heatsink mounting and mechanical clamping, supporting high thermal dissipation (RthJC = 2.0 °C/W) and robust surge handling (I²t = 94 A²s at 8.3 ms). Reverse recovery behavior is specified across temperature (TJ = 25 °C and 150 °C) and conduction angles (DC to 30°).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1000 V - Maximum repetitive blocking voltage; enables use in 800 V DC bus systems with 20% safety margin. |
| IF(AV) | 12 A - Average forward current at TC = 100 °C; defines continuous conduction capability in thermally managed designs. |
| trr | 90 ns - Reverse recovery time at TJ = 25 °C, IFM = π × 12 A, dIF/dt = 25 A/μs; determines switching loss and RFI generation in hard-switched topologies. |
| Qrr | 200 nC - Reverse recovered charge under same trr test conditions; directly impacts turn-off losses and snubber sizing. |
| RthJC | 2.0 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; allows calculation of junction temperature rise under known power dissipation and heatsink interface conditions. |
| IFSM | 150 A - Non-repetitive peak forward surge current at 60 Hz, t = 8.3 ms; supports motor-start and short-circuit withstand in converter outputs. |
| VFM | 1.5 V - Forward voltage drop at TC = 100 °C, IFM = π × 12 A; sets conduction loss baseline for efficiency modeling at elevated temperature. |
Pinout & Package
VS-12FLR10S02 uses the DO-4 (DO-203AA) stud-anode package: a hermetically sealed, metal-cased, threaded stud device with anode terminal on the stud and cathode on the base flange. Mounting torque is 1.2 N·m (10 lbf·in) for lubricated threads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Stud) | Positive input terminal | Threaded metal stud serves as both electrical anode connection and mechanical mounting point to heatsink; requires insulated washer if cathode-side mounting. |
| Cathode (Base Flange) | Negative output terminal | Flat metal flange provides low-inductance cathode path and thermal interface; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless system ground reference permits. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Short reverse recovery time | 90 ns trr enables operation up to ~100 kHz in hard-switched converters without excessive turn-off loss or voltage overshoot. |
| Low stored charge | 200 nC Qrr reduces diode-induced voltage spikes during commutation, lowering snubber component stress and EMI filter burden. |
| Stud-anode polarity | R-suffix confirms anode-on-stud configuration, simplifying high-side switch integration and enabling direct bolt-down to isolated heatsinks. |
| JEDEC® DO-4 compliance | Standardized mechanical outline (Document 95311) ensures compatibility with existing stud-mount fixtures, torque specs, and thermal interface materials. |
| Wide operating temperature | -65 °C to +150 °C junction range supports deployment in industrial motor drives, solar inverters, and railway traction systems. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VSK12-10 | Same VRRM (1000 V), higher IF(AV) = 16 A, longer trr = 110 ns (S02 grade), TO-247AC package with isolated tab. | Requires PCB mount and insulating hardware; better suited for space-constrained PCB-based inverters than stud-mounted chassis systems. | Select when board-level integration and lower thermal resistance to PCB are prioritized over direct heatsink bolting. |
| VS-12EWH10 | Same DO-4 package and 12 A rating, but ultrafast trr = 35 ns (S01 grade), higher VFM = 1.65 V, and reduced IFSM = 120 A. | Optimized for high-frequency (>200 kHz) resonant converters where Qrr-driven losses dominate over conduction losses. | Select when minimizing switching loss in ZVS/ZCS topologies outweighs surge robustness requirements. |
Compared with VS-12FLR10S02, VSK12-10 offers higher current headroom and PCB compatibility but lacks stud-mount mechanical integration, while VS-12EWH10 delivers superior high-frequency performance at the cost of surge tolerance and thermal coupling efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for VS-12FLR10S02?
The maximum junction operating temperature for VS-12FLR10S02 is +150 °C, with a storage temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C. This rating is validated per JEDEC® standards and enables reliable operation in industrial motor drives and solar inverters where ambient temperatures exceed 85 °C. Thermal design must ensure junction temperature remains within this limit under worst-case conduction and surge conditions.
Does VS-12FLR10S02 have a stud-anode or stud-cathode configuration?
VS-12FLR10S02 has a stud-anode configuration, confirmed by the "R" suffix in the part number per Vishay's ordering guide (Document 93138). The threaded metal stud serves as the anode terminal, while the base flange is the cathode. This configuration simplifies high-side placement in bridge rectifiers and supports direct thermal coupling to heatsinks via the anode stud.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of VS-12FLR10S02 under typical operating conditions?
VS-12FLR10S02 has a maximum reverse recovery time of 90 ns at TJ = 25 °C, IFM = π × 12 A, and dIF/dt = 25 A/μs (S02 grade). At TJ = 150 °C, trr increases to 200 ns under identical test conditions. These values are measured per standardized JEDEC® methodology and are critical for calculating switching losses and voltage overshoot in hard-switched converters.
Can VS-12FLR10S02 be used in 60 Hz line-frequency rectification?
Yes, VS-12FLR10S02 is qualified for 60 Hz line-frequency rectification, with IFSM = 150 A at 60 Hz (t = 8.3 ms) and full characterization across conduction angles from DC to 30°. Its low forward voltage (1.5 V at TC = 100 °C) and robust thermal resistance (2.0 °C/W) make it suitable for high-efficiency linear and phase-controlled supplies where reliability under surge and thermal cycling is essential.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RthJC) for VS-12FLR10S02?
The maximum thermal resistance from junction to case (RthJC) for VS-12FLR10S02 is 2.0 °C/W under DC operation, as specified in Vishay's datasheet (Document 93138). This value assumes proper mounting torque (1.2 N·m for lubricated threads) and a greased, smooth, flat interface between the base flange and heatsink. RthJC increases with conduction angle-e.g., +0.46 °C/W at 120° sinusoidal conduction.
