MALVERN, PA — Vishay Intertechnology (NYSE: VSH) recently introduced four new 100-volt Gen 2 Trench MOS Barrier Schottky rectifier modules, targeting industrial power systems where efficiency gains and reduced conduction losses are increasingly critical.
The new devices, housed in a compact and fully insulated SOT-227 package, deliver forward voltage drops as low as 0.83 volts, positioning them as drop-in replacements for competing solutions while boosting efficiency in demanding industrial applications, the company said .
The latest additions to Vishay’s semiconductor portfolio include three dual-diode parallel configurations — rated at 100 amps, 200 amps, and 400 amps — and a 150-amp single-phase bridge module. All are designed for 100-volt operation and optimized for power conversion environments where minimizing energy loss is a priority.
Vishay said the modules combine ultra-low forward voltage drop with negligible reverse recovery charge and high-temperature operation up to 150 degrees Celsius, making them suitable for high-frequency converters and power supplies used in welding equipment, industrial switch-mode power supplies, telecommunications infrastructure, and large battery systems. The devices are also aimed at 48-volt battery-powered light vehicles and other applications requiring robust blocking diodes.
The company said the industry-standard SOT-227 form factor allows the modules to be deployed as direct replacements, enabling system designers to improve performance without redesigning existing layouts. All four devices are RoHS-compliant and UL approved.
Samples and production quantities are available immediately, with standard lead times of 18 weeks, Vishay said.
Vishay Intertechnology manufactures one of the world’s largest portfolios of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components, serving automotive, industrial, computing, telecommunications, aerospace, and medical markets worldwide. The company is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker VSH and is part of the Fortune 1000.
