April 27, 2026 /SemiMedia/ — Vishay Intertechnology has introduced a new series of FRED Pt ultrafast rectifiers using a low-profile DFN6546A package, targeting power applications in automotive, industrial and consumer markets.

The 200V devices support current ratings from 6A to 15A and include versions qualified for automotive use under AEC-Q101.

The new package measures 6.5 mm by 4.6 mm with a typical height of 0.88 mm, helping save board space. Vishay said improvements in copper design and die placement allow better heat performance and support higher current. Compared with similar devices in the SMPC (TO-277A) package, the new rectifiers are about 10% thinner and can handle around 50% more current.

The devices are designed for use in inverters, DC/DC converters and protection circuits. In automotive systems, they can be used in control units, lighting, driver assistance systems, and 48V power systems, as well as battery management in electric and hybrid vehicles.

The rectifiers feature low leakage current and operate from -55°C to 175°C. A forward voltage of about 0.75V and fast recovery characteristics help reduce power loss. The package also supports optical inspection, making it easier for automated assembly.

Samples and volume production are available, with lead times of about eight weeks.
