Product details
Overview
VS-E5PW6006L-N3 from Vishay Semiconductors is a hyperfast silicon rectifier diode in TO-247AD 2L package, rated for 600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and 60 A average forward current at TC = 92 °C. It delivers 1.7 V forward voltage at 60 A and 125 °C, 24 ns typical reverse recovery time at low-current test conditions, and operates up to 175 °C junction temperature. It is optimized for high-frequency LLC resonant rectification in EV/HEV charging stations.
For engineers reviewing the VS-E5PW6006L-N3 datasheet, VS-E5PW6006L-N3 pinout, VS-E5PW6006L-N3 application, or VS-E5PW6006L-N3 equivalent, key selection criteria include trr/Qrr trade-off at 1000 A/μs dIF/dt, thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.63 °C/W), FRED Pt® Gen 5 soft-recovery behavior, and TO-247AD 2L mounting compatibility with high-power heatsinks.
Technical Context
This device belongs to Vishay's FRED Pt® Generation 5 hyperfast rectifier family, engineered with optimized carrier lifetime control to minimize Qrr while maintaining low VF. Its soft reverse recovery (low IRRM and controlled di(rec)M/dt) reduces EMI and switching stress in resonant topologies.
The single-diode configuration features a base cathode layout (pin 1 = cathode, pin 2 = anode, pin 3 = case/thermal tab), polyimide passivation for reliability, and JEDEC JESD47 qualification. It supports hard-switched operation up to 20 kHz (IFRM = 120 A) and exhibits stable CT = 65 pF at VR = 200 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - blocks full-line transients in 400 V DC bus systems without derating |
| IF(AV) | 60 A at TC = 92 °C - supports continuous conduction in high-power AC/DC front-ends |
| VF @ 60 A, 125 °C | 1.7 V - enables <102 W conduction loss at rated current (P = IF × VF) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hyperfast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH60R06DJF | 600 V / 60 A, trr = 35 ns (typ.), VF = 1.85 V @ 60 A, 150 °C TJ max, TO-247AC package (isolated tab) | Higher VF increases conduction loss by ~9 W at full load; lower TJ rating limits ambient margin in sealed systems | Prefer when isolation between tab and cathode is required; avoid if 175 °C operation or lowest Qrr is critical |
| IXYS MBR6060CT | 600 V / 60 A, Schottky-like VF = 1.55 V @ 60 A but trr > 100 ns, TO-247AD 2L, 150 °C TJ max | Lower VF improves light-load efficiency but poor trr degrades high-frequency performance and increases EMI | Select only for <50 kHz hard-switched applications where soft recovery is not needed; unsuitable for LLC |
Compared with STTH60R06DJF and IXYS MBR6060CT, VS-E5PW6006L-N3 uniquely balances ultra-low Qrr (280 nC), industry-leading softness (IRRM ≤ 14 A), and 175 °C capability - making it the preferred choice for thermally constrained, high-frequency resonant rectification where both switching loss and thermal headroom are limiting factors.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for VS-E5PW6006L-N3?
The maximum case temperature for VS-E5PW6006L-N3 is determined by its thermal resistance and power dissipation. With RthJC = 0.63 °C/W and TJ max = 175 °C, the case can reach up to 115 °C when dissipating 95 W (ΔT = 175 − 115 = 60 °C). Figure 4 in the datasheet shows that at IF(AV) = 60 A, the allowable case temperature is ~120 °C for square-wave operation (D = 0.50) with rated VR applied - confirming safe operation within this range for VS-E5PW6006L-N3.
Is VS-E5PW6006L-N3 pin-compatible with older FRED Pt® Gen 4 devices in TO-247AD 2L?
Yes, VS-E5PW6006L-N3 uses the same TO-247AD 2L outline and base-cathode pinout (pin 1 = cathode, pin 2 = anode, pin 3 = case) as prior-generation Vishay FRED Pt® rectifiers like VS-E5PX6006L-N3. Mechanical dimensions match per Doc. #95536, and mounting torque specifications (6–12 kgf·cm) are identical - enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts where thermal and electrical margins permit the improved trr/Qrr performance of VS-E5PW6006L-N3.
Does VS-E5PW6006L-N3 support parallel operation for higher current handling?
VS-E5PW6006L-N3 supports parallel operation when properly balanced: its VF has tight distribution (2.1–2.6 V at 25 °C), and thermal coupling via shared heatsink ensures current sharing stability. However, due to slight trr variation, external RC snubbers per device are recommended to prevent dynamic imbalance. The 0.63 °C/W RthJC and symmetrical TO-247AD 2L thermal pad facilitate uniform cooling - a key design requirement for reliable parallel use of VS-E5PW6006L-N3.
What is the reverse recovery charge Qrr of VS-E5PW6006L-N3 at 125 °C?
At TJ = 125 °C, VS-E5PW6006L-N3 exhibits Qrr = 1025 nC (typ.) under test conditions of IF = 60 A, dIF/dt = 1000 A/μs, and VR = 400 V. This value is critical for calculating turn-off energy loss (E = Qrr × VR) and sizing snubber components in high-frequency converters. The increase from 280 nC (25 °C) to 1025 nC reflects carrier lifetime extension at elevated temperature - a well-characterized behavior confirmed in Fig. 11 of the VS-E5PW6006L-N3 datasheet.
How does the polyimide passivation in VS-E5PW6006L-N3 improve reliability?
The polyimide passivation layer on VS-E5PW6006L-N3 provides superior moisture barrier properties and dielectric strength versus standard silicon nitride, reducing leakage current drift and preventing corrosion-induced failure under humid or condensing conditions. It also maintains mechanical integrity during thermal cycling from −55 °C to 175 °C - a key factor in achieving JEDEC JESD47 qualification and supporting >10-year field life in outdoor EV charging infrastructure where VS-E5PW6006L-N3 is commonly deployed.
