These devices are intended for use in output rectification
and freewheeling in inverters, choppers and converters as
well as in input rectification where severe restrictions on
conducted EMI should be met.
DESCRIPTION
Snap factor

Package
2L TO-220AC
Circuit configuration
Single
The VS-20ETF... 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.
