Technical Specifications:
The 6CUT04 typically features a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 400V, an average forward current (IF(AV)) of 6A, and an ultrafast reverse recovery time (trr) typically less than 35ns. The forward voltage drop (VF) is typically around 0.95V at the rated forward current. It also boasts a high surge current capability. This diode's soft recovery characteristics help to reduce voltage spikes and ringing, thereby minimizing electromagnetic interference. It is typically packaged in a TO-252 or similar surface-mount package. Consult the Vishay datasheet for precise values, thermal characteristics, and recommended mounting procedures.
