82CNQ030

Overview

The 82CNQ030 is a Schottky rectifier diode array manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions. It features a common cathode configuration with two internal diodes. The device has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 30V and an average forward rectified current rating of 40A per diode, totaling 80A for the pair. It utilizes a PRM2 chassis mount package designed for high-efficiency power applications requiring low forward voltage drop.

Feature Summary

• Schottky barrier technology for high switching efficiency
• Common cathode dual diode array configuration
• Chassis mount PRM2 package for robust thermal management

Applications

• Power management systems in notebook computers
• Load switching circuits in portable battery packs
• High-efficiency DC-DC conversion modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully as historical documentation may reference Microsemi Corporation due to corporate acquisitions. Confirm the specific package variant matches the required chassis mounting specifications. Ensure the component meets the intended thermal dissipation requirements for the target application environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 30V reverse voltage rating and 40A per-diode current capacity are required in a dual common cathode arrangement. The PRM2 package is suitable for applications needing direct chassis mounting for improved heat dissipation compared to standard through-hole options. Evaluate thermal resistance characteristics against the system's cooling infrastructure.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 82CNQ series of Schottky rectifiers from SMC Diode Solutions. It shares the PRM2 package form factor with other variants in the lineup but differs in voltage and current ratings. The series targets high-current, low-voltage rectification needs in industrial and consumer electronics power supplies.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 83CNQ100 for higher voltage requirements or the 82CNQ060 for increased reverse voltage capability within the same package. Verify pin compatibility and thermal performance when cross-referencing with equivalent parts from other manufacturers offering similar Schottky arrays.
