Soft Recovery Series

Vishay High Power Products

Fast Soft Recovery

Rectifier Diode, 20 A
FEATURES/DESCRIPTION
The 20ETF.. fast soft recovery rectifier series has been
Base
cathode optimized for combined short reverse recovery time and low
2 forward voltage drop.

The glass passivation ensures stable reliable operation in

the most severe temperature and power cycling conditions.
1 3
This product series has been designed and qualified for
TO-220AC Cathode Anode
industrial level.

APPLICATIONS
PRODUCT SUMMARY
