Fast recovery diode pair in a hermetic package
The Microchip Technology 1N6659 is a standard fast recovery diode configured as a 1 pair common anode, rated for 200 V DC reverse voltage and 15 A average rectified current per diode. Its 35 ns reverse recovery time (trr) places it in the fast recovery class (≤500 ns, >200 mA Io), making it suitable for high-frequency rectification and freewheeling applications where switching losses matter.
Parametric fit for the BOM line
Forward voltage drop is 1.2 V maximum at 20 A, and reverse leakage is 10 µA at the 200 V rating — these are the conduction loss and blocking leakage figures a power-stage designer budgets for. The TO-254AA (TO-254-3) through-hole package with straight leads is a hermetic, high-reliability metal can suited for military, aerospace, and industrial environments where board-level conformal coat or vibration resistance is required. Supplied in bulk tube packaging, not tape-and-reel — plan for hand-insertion or tube-fed automated assembly; no moisture sensitivity level applies to this hermetic package.
