DESCRIPTION
HFA12PA120C is a state of the art center tap ultrafast
recovery diode. Employing the latest in epitaxial construction
and advanced processing techniques it features a superb
combination of characteristics which result in performance
which is unsurpassed by any rectifier previously available.
The HFA12PA120C has basic ratings of 1200 V and 6 A per
leg continuous current. In addition to ultrafast recovery time,
the HEXFRED^® product line features extremely low values of
peak recovery current (I_RRM) and does not exhibit any
tendency to “snap-off” during the t_b portion of recovery. The
HEXFRED features combine to offer designers a rectifier
with lower noise and significantly lower switching losses in
both the diode and the switching transistor. These
HEXFRED advantages can help to significantly reduce
snubbing, component count and heatsink sizes. The
HEXFRED HFA12PA120C is ideally suited for applications
in power supplies and power conversion systems (such as
inverters, converters, UPS systems, and power factor
correction circuits), motor drives, and many other similar
applications where high speed, high efficiency is needed.
