APD260VG-G1

Overview

The APD260VG-G1 is a Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, designed for low voltage and high frequency applications. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60 V and an average rectified forward current of 2 A at +25°C. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 0.68 V at 2.0 A and a maximum reverse current of 0.5 mA at rated voltage. It operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +125°C and supports non-repetitive peak forward surge currents up to 50 A.

Feature Summary

• Low forward voltage drop for reduced conduction losses
• High surge current capacity with stress protection guard-ring
• Lead-free finish compliant with RoHS standards

Applications

• Low Voltage High Frequency Inverters
• DC-DC Converters
• Free Wheeling
• Polarity Protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G1' indicates RoHS compliance and Green packaging status as defined by the manufacturer. Confirm package type VG corresponds to DO-15 axial leaded configuration. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications or End-of-Life notices that may affect availability or specifications before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring medium voltage operation with low switching losses. Ensure the thermal design accommodates the specified junction temperature limits. Verify that the required surge current does not exceed the 50 A rating under single half sine-wave conditions. Consider the DO-15 package dimensions for board layout compatibility.

Part Context

This part belongs to the APD260 series of Schottky Barrier Rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated. The series includes variants in DO-41, DO-15, and DO-214AC packages. The APD260 is engineered for efficiency in power conversion systems where low noise and fast switching are critical requirements.

Replacement Considerations

SB260-E3/73 (Vishay General Semiconductor) is listed as a direct substitute.
