High Frequency Switching Littelfuse IXYS DSEI20-12A Diode with Soft Recovery Behavior and Low Losses
Product Overview
The DSEI 20-12A is a Fast Recovery Epitaxial Diode (FRED) designed for high-frequency switching applications. It features a glass-passivated chip in an international standard TO-220 package, offering very short recovery times and extremely low losses at high switching frequencies. Its soft recovery behavior and low reverse recovery current (IRM) values contribute to high reliability circuit operation, reduced protection circuit needs, and low noise switching. This diode is ideal for use as an antiparallel diode for high-frequency switching devices, anti-saturation diode, snubber diode, and free-wheeling diode in various power electronics applications.
