95HQ015

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division 95HQ015 is a Schottky rectifier optimized for ultra-low forward voltage drop, specifically designed for the OR-ing of parallel power supplies. It features proprietary barrier technology allowing reliable operation up to a 100°C junction temperature. The device has a maximum DC reverse voltage of 15 V and an average forward current rating of 95 A at a case temperature of 44°C with a rectangular waveform. Peak surge current capability reaches 7500 A for a 5 µs sine pulse. The component utilizes a hermetic TO-203AB (DO-5) package.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific procurement channel provides original manufacturer documentation or traceable certificates of conformity. Confirm the physical integrity of the hermetic DO-5 package upon receipt. Ensure storage conditions align with the specified temperature range to maintain seal integrity. Cross-reference ordering suffixes against official datasheets to confirm exact electrical characteristics before integration into final designs.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when low forward voltage drop is critical for efficiency in parallel power supply configurations. The 15 V reverse voltage rating limits suitability to low-voltage systems. Consider the 100°C maximum junction temperature constraint for thermal management. The hermetic package requires specific mounting torque specifications between 23 and 46 Kg-cm to ensure mechanical stability without damaging the seal.
