Product details
Overview
VS-C5PX6012L-N3 from Vishay Semiconductors is a hyperfast dual common-cathode rectifier optimized for high-frequency PFC and output stages in EV/HEV chargers, solar inverters, and UPS systems. It delivers 30 A average forward current per leg, 1200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 2.1 V forward voltage at 30 A and 125 °C, 26 ns reverse recovery time at 1.0 A, and operates up to 175 °C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the VS-C5PX6012L-N3 datasheet, VS-C5PX6012L-N3 pinout, VS-C5PX6012L-N3 application, or VS-C5PX6012L-N3 equivalent, this device is selected for high-efficiency soft-switched converters requiring low Qrr, tight VF–trr trade-off, and compatibility with MOSFETs or high-speed IGBTs in demanding thermal environments.
Technical Context
This FRED Pt® Gen 5 rectifier uses a hyperfast recovery structure with polyimide passivation to achieve ultra-low stored charge and controlled di/dt sensitivity. Its common-cathode TO-247AD 3L configuration supports interleaved or parallel operation while maintaining symmetrical thermal paths per leg.
The device is characterized across temperature (−55 °C to +175 °C) and dynamic conditions (dIF/dt up to 1000 A/μs), with Qrr increasing from 530 nC at 25 °C to 2400 nC at 125 °C under 30 A/800 V conditions - critical for loss modeling in resonant topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1200 V - blocks full DC bus voltage in 1000 V-class solar inverters and EV charging systems without derating. |
| IF(AV) per leg | 30 A at TC = 101 °C - supports continuous conduction mode operation in 3–5 kW PFC stages with standard heatsinking. |
| VF @ 30 A, 125 °C | 2.1 V - reduces forward conduction loss by ~15% vs. prior-generation FREDs, directly improving system efficiency at elevated temperature. |
| trr @ 1.0 A | 26 ns - enables >500 kHz switching in ZVS/ZCS resonant converters with minimal turn-off tail current. |
| Qrr @ 30 A, 125 °C | 2400 nC - quantifies recoverable charge driving snubber losses and EMI in hard- and soft-switched bridges. |
| RthJC per leg | 0.8 °C/W - allows direct thermal interface to heatsink with predictable junction temperature rise under 30 A DC load. |
| TJ max. | 175 °C - supports operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial environments without forced air. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-247AD 3L - thermally enhanced 3-lead outline with isolated thermal pad, UL 94 V-0 molding compound, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Anode A) | Anode of first diode leg | Connects to AC input node in center-tapped or bridge configurations; rated for 1200 V blocking and 60 A surge. |
| 2 (Cathode) | Common cathode connection | Shared output node for both legs; must be routed with low-inductance path to minimize voltage overshoot during recovery. |
| 3 (Anode B) | Anode of second diode leg | Enables dual-leg operation in interleaved PFC or synchronous rectification; electrically isolated from Pin 1 except through cathode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hyperfast Qrr optimization | Qrr = 530 nC (25 °C) / 2400 nC (125 °C) - minimizes energy loss during reverse recovery in high-frequency converters. |
| Low VF–trr trade-off | 2.1 V VF @ 125 °C + 26 ns trr @ 1 A - achieves best-in-class balance for efficiency and EMI control in 100–1000 kHz designs. |
| Polyimide passivation | Enhances surface stability and humidity resistance - critical for long-term reliability in outdoor solar and EV infrastructure. |
| 175 °C TJ max | Enables compact thermal design without derating in ambient temperatures up to 85 °C with standard heatsink mounting. |
| Halogen-free, RoHS, Pb-free | N3 suffix confirms full compliance with environmental regulations - required for CE-marked industrial and automotive equipment. |
Applications
| EV/HEV Onboard Charger PFC Stage | Solar Inverter Booster Stage |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-voltage, high-current output rectifier paired with 650 V SiC MOSFETs in totem-pole topology. Use Value: Low Qrr and stable trr over temperature reduce switching losses by ≥8% vs. standard ultrafast diodes, extending thermal margin. |
Use Scenario: DC-DC booster stage in string inverters converting 1000 V PV input to 1500 V DC bus for transformerless grid tie. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-cathode dual rectifier handling bidirectional current in phase-shifted full-bridge soft-switching converter. Use Value: Symmetrical pinout and matched dynamic parameters enable precise interleaving, cutting ripple current by 40% and easing filter design. |
| UPS Output Rectification | Industrial SMPS Secondary Side |
Use Scenario: High-reliability double-conversion UPS with 1200 V DC link and 20 ms hold-up time requirement. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output freewheeling and rectification diode in phase-shifted ZVS full-bridge operating at 300 kHz. Use Value: 175 °C rating and robust surge capability (190 A IFSM) ensure uninterrupted operation during line sags and overload transients. |
Use Scenario: 3 kW telecom rectifier with active clamp forward topology requiring low-loss secondary-side rectification. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-anode, common-cathode configuration used for synchronous rectification drive coordination and current sharing. Use Value: Tight VF matching (<0.1 V spread) between legs ensures balanced current distribution without external balancing components. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hyperfast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH6012W | Higher VF (2.45 V @ 30 A, 125 °C); trr = 35 ns; RthJC = 1.0 °C/W; TO-247AC package (no thermal pad isolation). | Less suitable for high-density thermal layouts; higher conduction loss reduces efficiency in >150 kHz designs. | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs 0.35 V VF penalty and thermal pad isolation is not required. |
| IXYS MBR60120CT | Schottky construction; VF = 1.75 V @ 30 A, 125 °C; VR = 120 V only; no reverse recovery (Qrr = 0). | Not usable above 200 V - incompatible with 1200 V bus architectures; limited to low-voltage secondary-side applications. | Only viable in sub-200 V outputs; cannot substitute in PFC or booster stages requiring 1200 V blocking. |
Compared with STTH6012W and MBR60120CT, the VS-C5PX6012L-N3 uniquely combines 1200 V rating, hyperfast recovery (26 ns), and thermally optimized TO-247AD 3L packaging - making it the only drop-in solution for high-efficiency, high-voltage, high-frequency PFC and DC-DC stages where both low Qrr and high TJ capability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for VS-C5PX6012L-N3 at 30 A average current per leg?
The maximum allowable case temperature for VS-C5PX6012L-N3 is 101 °C when delivering 30 A average forward current per leg with 50% duty cycle, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Exceeding this temperature risks exceeding the 175 °C maximum junction temperature under typical thermal resistance conditions.
Does VS-C5PX6012L-N3 support parallel operation of both legs in a single-phase bridge configuration?
Yes, VS-C5PX6012L-N3 supports parallel operation via its common-cathode configuration: Pins 1 and 3 serve as independent anodes, and Pin 2 is the shared cathode. This allows use in center-tapped or dual-phase rectifier arrangements without internal coupling - confirmed by the "Circuit configuration: Common cathode" specification.
Is the TO-247AD 3L package of VS-C5PX6012L-N3 compatible with standard TO-247 heatsink footprints?
Yes, the TO-247AD 3L package of VS-C5PX6012L-N3 conforms to JEDEC outline TO-247 with defined dimensional exceptions (Document 95626), and its thermal pad contour is optional - ensuring mechanical compatibility with industry-standard TO-247 heatsinks and mounting hardware.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for VS-C5PX6012L-N3 at 125 °C and rated voltage?
The reverse leakage current for VS-C5PX6012L-N3 is specified as ≤500 μA per leg at TJ = 125 °C and VR = VR rated (1200 V), per the Electrical Specifications table. This value reflects worst-case blocking behavior under high-temperature, high-voltage stress conditions.
How does the N3 suffix in VS-C5PX6012L-N3 affect compliance and assembly?
The N3 suffix in VS-C5PX6012L-N3 indicates full halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and totally lead (Pb)-free construction - verified per Vishay's material categorization standard (Doc. 99912). It requires no special reflow profile changes but mandates Pb-free-compatible soldering processes per J-STD-002.
