DGSS6-06CC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DGSS6-06CC is a Schottky diode array manufactured by IXYS, configured as a 1 Pair Series Connection rated for 600 V DC reverse voltage with 11 A average rectified current per diode. The device is packaged in ISOPLUS220™ through-hole format and is currently classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, identification of equivalent and substitute components is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for production and repair applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DGSS6-06CC is based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant or be exceeded:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 600 V minimum
• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Series Connection
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: ISOPLUS220™

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Current - Average Rectified (Io): Substitute must equal or exceed 11 A per diode
• Operating Temperature - Junction: Must maintain -55°C ~ 175°C range
• Reverse Recovery Time (trr): May vary within fast recovery classification
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: May vary within acceptable limits
• Voltage - Forward (Vf): May vary based on technology and current rating

The DSEE15-12CC qualifies as a substitute because it maintains identical voltage rating, configuration, mounting type, and package format while providing increased current capacity (15 A versus 11 A) and improved reverse leakage characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DSEE15-12CC is a direct substitute for the DGSS6-06CC based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Both devices maintain identical 600 V DC reverse voltage rating and 1 Pair Series Connection configuration. The DSEE15-12CC provides 15 A current capacity, which exceeds the DGSS6-06CC requirement of 11 A, ensuring adequate performance margin in existing circuit designs.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both components utilize identical ISOPLUS220™ package format and through-hole mounting type, enabling direct board-level substitution without PCB redesign.

Thermal Compatibility: Operating temperature range remains constant at -55°C to 175°C junction temperature across both devices.

Product Status Advantage: The DSEE15-12CC holds active product status with current manufacturing support, whereas the DGSS6-06CC is obsolete. The DSEE15-12CC is ROHS3 compliant, providing regulatory advantage for new designs and long-term supply chain stability.

Reverse Leakage Improvement: The DSEE15-12CC exhibits lower reverse leakage current (100 µA versus 150 µA at 600 V), resulting in improved device performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DSEE15-12CC directly replace the DGSS6-06CC in existing circuit boards?

A: Yes. Both devices share identical package format (ISOPLUS220™), mounting type (through-hole), voltage rating (600 V), and diode configuration (1 Pair Series Connection). No PCB modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating difference between 11 A and 15 A?

A: The DSEE15-12CC provides higher current capacity (15 A per diode) compared to the DGSS6-06CC (11 A per diode). This represents a performance enhancement that maintains full compatibility with designs rated for 11 A operation, as the substitute device can handle the specified current with additional margin.

Q: Are there differences in forward voltage characteristics between these devices?

A: Forward voltage specifications differ due to technology differences. The DGSS6-06CC (Schottky technology) specifies 2.1 V at 6 A, while the DSEE15-12CC (Standard technology) specifies 2.04 V at 15 A. Both values are within acceptable operating ranges for 600 V diode array applications.

Q: What is the difference between Schottky and Standard diode technology in this context?

A: The DGSS6-06CC uses Schottky technology, while the DSEE15-12CC uses Standard technology. Both are classified as fast recovery devices with recovery times within the ≤500 ns specification. The DSEE15-12CC is part of the HiPerDynFRED™ series, indicating optimized performance characteristics for high-frequency applications.

Q: Does the DSEE15-12CC meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The DSEE15-12CC is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards. The DGSS6-06CC, being obsolete, does not carry current compliance certifications.

Q: Is the 5 nanosecond difference in reverse recovery time (20 ns versus 25 ns) significant?

A: Both devices meet the fast recovery specification of ≤500 ns for currents >200 mA. The 5 nanosecond difference is within acceptable tolerance for standard rectifier applications and does not impact functional compatibility in circuits designed for the DGSS6-06CC.

Q: What inventory status should be considered when selecting between these parts?

A: The DGSS6-06CC has 794 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The DSEE15-12CC has 929 pieces in stock as new original inventory. For long-term supply chain planning, the DSEE15-12CC is preferred due to its active product status and ongoing manufacturing support.
