IR15R1A50 ?

[shrtrnd]

Anybody know an equivalent for an International Recitifier IR15R1A50?
Talked to IR, they 'divested' this product line to Vishay in 2007.
Talked to Vishay, they didn't continue this device in their revised equivalent product line.
(In fact, they didn't keep any of the IR data on this device at all).
Just wondering if anyone knows what an equivalent device would be.

That part number gives a complete blank on Google. What does the part do?

It's in a stud package, probably some high current diode.
IR discontinued all support for it in 2007, and the company that bought the product-line
(Vishay), didn't pick it up with the rest of that family of semiconductors.
I'm guessing it's a 50Amp diode of some type.
