16CTQ080S

Overview

The Vishay 16CTQ080S is a Schottky rectifier featuring a dual common cathode configuration in a D2PAK package. It supports a maximum DC reverse voltage of 80 V and provides an average forward current of 16 A per device (8 A per leg). The component operates reliably up to a junction temperature of 175 °C, with a typical forward voltage drop of 0.58 V at 8 A and 125 °C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 7.0 mA at 125 °C and a threshold voltage of 0.415 V.

Feature Summary

• Center tap configuration optimized for low reverse leakage at high temperatures
• Proprietary barrier technology enabling reliable operation up to 175 °C junction temperature
• High purity, high temperature epoxy encapsulation for enhanced mechanical strength and moisture resistance
• Guard ring design for improved ruggedness and long-term reliability

Applications

• Switching power supplies
• Converters
• Freewheeling diodes
• Reverse battery protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm packaging orientation and lead-free status. The datasheet indicates that 'TRL' denotes left-oriented tape and reel packaging for the D2PAK case style, while 'TRR' indicates right-oriented. Standard production versions without suffixes are supplied in tubes. Ensure the selected variant matches the required assembly process and environmental compliance standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-frequency operation and low forward voltage drop. The D2PAK package offers a thermal resistance of 3.25 °C/W per leg, suitable for high-power density designs. Consider the 175 °C operating range for environments with elevated ambient temperatures. Verify that the peak repetitive reverse voltage rating meets or exceeds the circuit's maximum working peak reverse voltage requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay 16CTQ...S/16CTQ...-1 series of Schottky rectifiers. The 'S' suffix specifically identifies the D2PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package, distinguishing it from the '-1' suffix which corresponds to the TO-262 package. The series is designed for industrial level qualification and utilizes silicon technology for robust performance in demanding power electronics applications.
