Vishay Intertechnology Gen 3 650 V and 1200 V SiC Schottky Diodes Increase Efficiency While Enhancing Electrical Insulation
Rhea-AI Summary
Vishay Intertechnology (NYSE:VSH) has unveiled three new Gen 3 silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky diodes in the SlimSMA HV package. The new lineup includes the 1A VS-3C01EJ12-M3 and 2A VS-3C02EJ07-M3/VS-3C02EJ12-M3 models, featuring 650V and 1200V options.
The diodes boast a minimum creepage distance of 3.2mm and maintain low capacitive charge down to 7.2 nC regardless of temperature. Key features include a low profile of 0.95mm, high operating temperature of +175°C, and reduced forward voltage drop to 1.30V. These components are designed for applications in server power supplies, energy systems, industrial drives, and X-ray generators.
Samples and production quantities are available now with 14-week lead times. The devices are RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and meet JESD 201 class 2 whisker test requirements.

Offered in the Compact SlimSMA HV (DO-221AC) Package, 1 A and 2 A Devices Offer Low Capacitive Charge and High Minimum Creepage Distance of 3.2 mm
MALVERN, Pa., July 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced three new Gen 3 650 V and 1200 V silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky diodes in the compact, low profile SlimSMA HV (DO-221AC) package. Featuring a merged PIN Schottky (MPS) design and minimum creepage distance of 3.2 mm, the 1 A VS-3C01EJ12-M3 and 2 A VS-3C02EJ07-M3 and VS-3C02EJ12-M3 combine low capacitive charge with temperature-invariant switching behavior to increase efficiency in high speed, hard-switching power designs.
For high voltage applications, the high creepage distance of the Vishay Semiconductors devices released today provides improved electrical isolation, while their SlimSMA HV package features a molding compound with a high CTI ≥ 600 to ensure excellent electrical insulation. For space-constrained designs, the diodes offer a low profile of 0.95 mm compared to 2.3 mm for competing SMA and SMB packages with a similar footprint.
Unlike silicon diodes, the VS-3C01EJ12-M3, VS-3C02EJ07-M3, and VS-3C02EJ12-M3 maintain a low capacitive charge down to 7.2 nC irrespective of temperature, resulting in faster switching speeds, reduced power losses, and improved efficiency for high frequency applications. In addition, the devices have virtually no recovery tail, which further improves efficiency, while their MPS structure delivers a reduced forward voltage drop down to 1.30 V.
With a high operating temperature of +175 °C, typical applications for the VS-3C01EJ12-M3, VS-3C02EJ07-M3, and VS-3C02EJ12-M3 will include bootstrap, anti-parallel, and PFC diodes for DC/DC and AC/DC converters in server power supplies; energy generation and storage systems; industrial drives and tools; and X-ray generators. For easy paralleling in these applications, the devices offer a positive temperature coefficient.
RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, the diodes feature a Moisture Sensitivity Level of 1 in accordance with J-STD-020 and meet the JESD 201 class 2 whisker test.
