Product Description
The Vishay VS-MUR1520-M3 is a high-performance fast recovery rectifier diode from the trusted FRED Pt® (Fast Recovery Epitaxial Diode) family. Designed for high-frequency power conversion and switching applications, this rectifier delivers a 200V reverse voltage rating and 15A forward current capability while maintaining excellent efficiency and reliability.
With an ultra-fast 22ns reverse recovery time and low forward voltage drop of only 1.05V, the VS-MUR1520-M3 minimizes switching losses and improves overall system efficiency. These characteristics make it an ideal choice for switch-mode power supplies, freewheeling circuits, DC-DC converters, motor drives, inverters, and industrial power systems.
Housed in a rugged TO-220AC-2 through-hole package, the VS-MUR1520-M3 provides excellent thermal performance and durability for demanding commercial and industrial applications.
