Product details

Parametric profile and switching-loss tradeoff

The VS-CZH6106FP-M3: Each diode in the common-cathode pair is rated for 30 A average rectified current at a forward voltage of 2.15 V typical at that current. The 90 ns reverse recovery time (trr) places this part in the fast-recovery class (≤ 500 ns, > 200 mA Io), which means the stored charge clears quickly enough to keep switching losses manageable in hard-switched topologies like boost PFC or output rectification. The 600 V reverse voltage rating gives headroom for 400 Vdc bus rails in single-phase PFC stages, where the diode sees the full output voltage plus ringing. Junction temperature spans -55 to 175 °C, so the part can sit on a heatsink in a sealed enclosure without derating at the hot end.

Package and mounting — the isolated fullpak advantage

The TO-3PF (SC-94) is a through-hole fullpak with the backside tab electrically isolated from the die. That means you can bolt it directly to a grounded heatsink without a sil-pad or mica insulator — one less thermal interface to manage, and the thermal resistance stays lower than a non-isolated package with an added insulator. The dual-diode common-cathode layout in a single TO-3PF replaces two separate TO-220 or TO-247 devices in a center-tap or boost PFC stage. The board footprint shrinks, and the thermal coupling between the two diodes is tighter — both die share the same baseplate, so they track each other's temperature more closely than discretes on separate heatsinks.

Frequently asked questions

What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of the VS-CZH6106FP-M3?

The trr is 90 ns, which qualifies it as a fast recovery diode (≤ 500 ns, > 200 mA Io). This trr value keeps the reverse-recovery charge low enough for hard-switched PFC and output rectifier stages running at switching frequencies up to roughly 100 kHz, depending on the thermal budget.

Does the VS-CZH6106FP-M3 need an insulator between the package and the heatsink?

No. The TO-3PF fullpak has an electrically isolated backside tab, so the mounting surface can contact a grounded heatsink directly without a sil-pad or mica insulator. This simplifies assembly and improves thermal transfer compared to a non-isolated package that requires an added interface layer.
