Dual 30A fast recovery in the SOT-227 power block
The VS-U5FX60FA60 is a Vishay FRED Pt® fifth-generation dual standard diode in the SOT-227-4 miniBLOC package, with two independent 30A (DC) rectifiers rated at 600V reverse voltage per diode.
At 30 A forward current per diode, the maximum forward voltage is 2.1 V — the conduction loss at rated current is 63 W per die, which the SOT-227 package must sink to the heatsink through the baseplate. Reverse leakage at 600 V blocking is 30 µA typical; this leakage doubles with every 10°C rise in junction temperature, so the thermal design should budget the high-temperature leakage contribution when the diode is blocking at full voltage.
