ultrafast rectifiers technical

"Vishay Intertechnology 200 V FRED Pt® Ultrafast Rectifiers Deliver High Current"

Ultrafast rectifiers are electronic components that let electric current flow in one direction while switching on and off much faster than standard diodes; think of them as gates that open and close almost instantly to control electricity. Investors care because faster switching cuts energy loss and heat, improving efficiency and performance in power supplies, electric vehicles and renewable-energy systems, which can drive demand, lower manufacturing costs and affect company margins.

aec-q101 technical

"available in commercial and Automotive Grade, AEC-Q101 qualified versions."

AEC-Q101 is an industry qualification standard that tests discrete semiconductor parts (like diodes and transistors) to ensure they can survive harsh automotive conditions such as heat, vibration and electrical stress. For investors, a part certified to AEC-Q101 is like a car tested for extreme road and weather conditions—it signals lower supply and reliability risk for companies that design or use those components, which can affect production, costs and product credibility.

automatic optical inspection (aoi) technical

"wettable flanks of their DFN6546A package allow for automatic optical inspection (AOI)"

Automatic optical inspection (AOI) is a machine-based visual check that uses cameras and software to scan products or circuit boards for defects, such as missing parts, incorrect placement, or surface flaws. Investors care because AOI helps companies catch quality problems early, reduce returns and rework costs, and speed up production — like a store using a fast, accurate scanner to spot damaged items before they reach customers, protecting revenue and margins.

msl moisture sensitivity level technical

"the rectifiers offer a MSL moisture sensitivity level of 1, per J-STD-020"

Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is a classification for electronic components that indicates how long parts can be exposed to ambient air before moisture absorbed into their packaging risks damage during soldering and assembly. Investors care because higher sensitivity can increase manufacturing risk, lead times, scrap rates and costs—similar to how perishable food needs quicker refrigeration to avoid spoilage—so MSL affects supply reliability and profit margins.

j-std-020 technical

"MSL moisture sensitivity level of 1, per J-STD-020, LF maximum peak of 260 °C."

J-STD-020 is an industry standard that classifies how sensitive semiconductor components are to moisture and heat during soldering, essentially setting limits on how long parts can sit exposed before they must be mounted and reflowed. Think of it like an “open-package” label on a food item that tells manufacturers how quickly to use it to avoid damage; for investors it signals potential manufacturing risk, yield, shipping constraints and cost implications that can affect production timelines and product reliability.

Featuring a Low 0.88 mm Profile and Wettable Flanks, Commercial and Automotive Grade Devices Provide Improved Thermal Performance and Efficiency

MALVERN, Pa., April 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced 16 FRED Pt^® ultrafast rectifiers in the new low profile DFN6546A package with wettable flanks. Providing space-saving, high efficiency solutions for commercial, industrial, and automotive applications, the 200 V devices provide current ratings from 6 A to 15 A and are available in commercial and Automotive Grade, AEC-Q101 qualified versions.

The latest package in Vishay’s Power DFN family, the DFN6546A features a compact 6.5 mm x 4.6 mm footprint and an extremely low typical height of 0.88 mm, allowing the Vishay Semiconductors rectifiers released today to make more efficient use of PCB space. At the same time, the devices’ optimized copper mass design and advanced die placement technology allow for superior thermal performance that enables operation at higher current ratings. Compared to 200 V components in the SMPC (TO-277A) package with the same footprint, the rectifiers offer a 10 % lower profile and a 50 % higher current rating.

The single and dual devices are intended for high frequency inverters, DC/DC converters, freewheeling diodes, load dump protection, clamps and snubbers, reverse and series polarity protection, and LED backlighting. Typical automotive applications will include engine control units (ECU); LED lighting systems; advanced driver assistance (ADAS), lidar, and camera systems; and 48 V boardnets, chargers, and battery management systems (BMS) in electric (EV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). In addition, the rectifiers deliver high performance for industrial automation equipment and tools, energy harvesting, consumer electronics and appliances, computers, and telecom and medical equipment.

For these applications, the devices offer low reverse leakage current and operate over a wide temperature range from -55 °C to +175 °C, while their low forward voltage drop of 0.75 V — combined with a fast reverse recovery time (t_rr) and low reverse recovery charge (Q_rr) — reduces power losses to improve efficiency. The wettable flanks of their DFN6546A package allow for automatic optical inspection (AOI), eliminating the need for an X-ray inspection. Ideal for automated placement, the rectifiers offer a MSL moisture sensitivity level of 1, per J-STD-020, LF maximum peak of 260 °C. The components are RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, and their matte tin-plated leads meet the JESD 201 class 2 whisker test.
