Power Semiconductor Fast Recovery Diode and Rectifier units usually include one or two diodes/rectifiers in different configurations. Desired features of these diodes/rectifiers can include fast recovery times, soft recovery characteristics, low thermal impedance, and a high surge current rating.

Applications for Fast Recovery Diodes and Rectifiers include inverters, buck- and boost-choppers, high-powered transmitters, or as a free-wheeling diode.

Specific attributes which are important in selecting the right Fast Recovery Diode/Rectifier for your application include: Voltage Rating (V); Current Rating (A); Recovery Time (nS); and Package Type. Our Fast Recovery Diodes and Rectifiers feature a wide range of package types, such as axial leaded, module, stud (both forward and reverse polarity types), and hockey puk (also called “disc”).

Richardson RFPD, Inc. maintains a robust selection of Fast Recovery Diodes and Rectifiers from Dynex, Electronic Devices, Powerex, Semikron and our own Richardson RFPD brand.
