The VS-E5TX2106S2LHM3 is a Vishay FRED Pt® G5 ultra-fast standard recovery diode, rated 20 A average rectified current at 600 V reverse voltage, in a TO-263AB (D²PAK) surface-mount package. Reverse recovery time is 41 ns, placing it in the fast recovery class (≤500 ns, >200 mA Io) — suitable for hard-switching topologies where turn-off losses matter.
Automotive qualification and compliance
AEC-Q101 qualified, part of the FRED Pt® G5 series — the qualification covers the -55°C to 175°C junction range and the reliability stress tests required for tier-one ECU programs. Production status is active per the manufacturer; ROHS3 compliant.
TO-263AB (D²PAK) with 2 leads plus tab — the exposed copper tab on the bottom is the cathode and the primary thermal path. Solder the tab to a copper plane on the PCB to keep junction temperature below 175°C at 20 A. Forward voltage is 2.31 V max at 20 A — the conduction loss at rated current is 46 W, so the thermal pad area on the board must be sized for that dissipation.
