160CMQ035

Overview

The Vishay 160CMQ035 is a Schottky rectifier module rated for 35 V maximum DC reverse voltage and 160 A average forward current per leg. It features an isolated center tap configuration in a TO-249AA package. The device supports junction temperatures up to 150 °C with a thermal resistance of 1.0 °C/W per leg. Maximum forward voltage drop is 0.86 V at 160 A, while peak surge current reaches 6400 A.

Feature Summary

• Isolated center tap module design
• Very low forward voltage drop
• High frequency operation capability
• Guard ring for enhanced ruggedness

Applications

• Switching power supplies
• Converters
• Free-wheeling diodes
• Reverse battery protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official documentation to confirm voltage rating and pinout compatibility. Confirm that the TO-249AA mounting dimensions match the target heatsink interface. Ensure thermal management meets the specified junction temperature limits during operation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high current handling and low conduction losses are required. The isolated center tap allows for efficient bridge-less topologies. Verify that the system can accommodate the 150 °C maximum junction temperature and the specific thermal resistance requirements for the application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 160CMQ series of isolated, center tap Schottky rectifiers. The series utilizes proprietary barrier technology for reliable high-temperature operation. Other variants in the series include different reverse voltage ratings such as 40 V and 45 V models.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official datasheets for direct replacements. Verify that any substitute maintains the same TO-249AA footprint, electrical ratings, and isolation characteristics.
