16CTQ100S

Overview

The Vishay 16CTQ100S is a dual Schottky rectifier in a D2PAK package, configured as common cathode. It provides two independent legs with an average forward current of 8 A each (16 A total) and a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 100 V. The device operates at junction temperatures up to 175 °C, featuring a typical forward voltage drop of 0.58 V at 8 A and 125 °C. It supports non-repetitive surge currents of 850 A and includes avalanche capability for enhanced ruggedness.

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
• Guard ring structure designed for enhanced ruggedness and long-term reliability
• Qualified for automotive Q101 standards

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 standard tube contains 50 pieces. Tape and reel options exist for left or right orientation but require distinct part numbers. Confirm RoHS compliance details directly from the datasheet before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-frequency operation and low forward voltage drop. Ensure the thermal design accounts for the specified thermal resistance values. Verify that the peak reverse voltage requirements do not exceed the 100 V rating under all operating conditions. Consider the avalanche energy specifications if inductive loads are present.

Part Context

This device belongs to the 16CTQ...S/16CTQ...-1 series of Schottky rectifiers from Vishay High Power Products. The 'S' suffix denotes the D2PAK case style, while '-1' indicates the TO-262 variant. The series is engineered for high-power applications, offering a balance between low leakage current and forward voltage characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Check for equivalent parts within the same Vishay series, such as the 16CTQ060S or 16CTQ080S, which share identical electrical ratings except for the reverse voltage specification. Ensure any substitute matches the D2PAK footprint and pinout configuration.
