Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has launched 16 new 200 V FRED Pt® ultrafast rectifiers in a space-saving DFN6546A package, featuring current ratings up to 15 A and options for commercial and Automotive Grade AEC-Q101 qualification. The compact package offers superior thermal performance, lower profile, and higher current ratings compared to prior designs, targeting high-frequency inverters, DC/DC converters, and protection circuits in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics sectors. The devices improve efficiency with low forward voltage drop and support automated optical inspection due to their wettable flanks.

Key Points

  • Introduction of 16 ultrafast rectifier models with current ratings from 6 A to 15 A in the new low-profile DFN6546A package.
  • Devices support a wide range of applications including electric and hybrid vehicles (EV/HEV), industrial automation, consumer electronics, telecom, and medical equipment.
  • Enhanced thermal performance and efficiency achieved via optimized copper mass design and advanced die placement technology, alongside automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q101).

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 (trr) and low reverse recovery charge (Qrr) — 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.

Risks

  • Lead times for samples and production are currently around eight weeks, which may affect adoption speed in some markets.
  • Devices must compete with existing rectifiers in the industry; market acceptance depends on customers evaluating benefits versus incumbent solutions.
  • Automotive and industrial markets could be affected by supply chain disruptions or regulatory changes that might impact component demand.
