85CNQ015SM

Overview

The 85CNQ015SM is a Schottky diode array manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions, housed in the PRM2-SM through-hole package. It features a single pair of common cathodes with a maximum DC reverse voltage (Vr) of 15 V and an average rectified current (Io) of 40 A per diode. The forward voltage drop is 1.14 V at 40 A, while reverse leakage current is 1.5 mA at 15 V. Operating junction temperature ranges from -55°C to 175°C.

Feature Summary

• Schottky barrier technology for low forward voltage drop
• Single pair common cathode configuration
• High purity epoxy encapsulation for mechanical strength

Applications

• Center tap module applications
• Low voltage high current rectification
• Free-wheeling diodes in switching power supplies

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity against official SMC Diode Solutions documentation. Confirm package type matches PRM2-SM specifications. Ensure storage conditions comply with moisture sensitivity level requirements. Check RoHS compliance status prior to integration into final assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring low forward voltage and high current handling at low reverse voltages. The through-hole PRM2-SM package suits designs needing robust mechanical mounting. Evaluate thermal management capabilities given the 175°C junction temperature limit.

Part Context

Part of the 89CNQ/85CNQ series offering various voltage ratings. Shares similar packaging and structural characteristics with other members like 89CNQ150SL. Designed for industrial and commercial power conversion systems requiring reliable Schottky performance.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include 85CNQ015SL with surface mount PRM2-SL package. Cross-reference electrical parameters such as Vr, Io, and Vf before substitution. Verify pin compatibility and thermal dissipation requirements match design constraints.
