Fast Soft Recovery
Rectifier Diode, 40 A
40EPF.. Soft Recovery Series
Vishay High Power Products
FEATURES/DESCRIPTION
The 40EPF.. fast soft recovery rectifier series has been
optimized for combined short reverse recovery time and low
forward voltage drop .
The glass passivation ensures stable reliable operation in
the most severe temperature and power cycling conditions.
This product series has been designed and qualified for
industrial level.
APPLICATIONS
• Output rectification and freewheeling in inverters,
choppers and converters
• Input rectifications where severe restrictions on conducted
EMI should be met
