B360A-E3/61T

Overview

The B360A-E3/61T is a surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 3.0 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60 V. The device utilizes an SMA (DO-214AC) package with matte tin-plated leads. Key electrical characteristics include a typical instantaneous forward voltage of 0.55 V at 3.0 A, a maximum reverse current of 200 µA at rated voltage and 25 °C, and a typical junction capacitance of 145 pF at 4.0 V and 1 MHz. The component supports an operating junction temperature range from -55 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Low forward voltage drop for reduced power losses
• High surge capability with 50 A peak forward surge current
• Meets MSL level 1 per J-ST-D-020 standards
• E3 suffix ensures compliance with JESD 201 class 2 whisker test

Applications

• Low voltage, high frequency inverters
• Freewheeling applications
• DC/DC converters
• Polarity protection circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging quantity and delivery mode. The /61T designation indicates a 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel format with a base quantity of 1800 units. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization details directly from the manufacturer's datasheet before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring low forward voltage drop and high efficiency in surface-mount layouts. Ensure the application operates within the specified 60 V reverse voltage limit and 3.0 A average forward current rating. Verify thermal management requirements against the provided thermal resistance values to maintain junction temperatures within the -55 °C to +150 °C operating range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the B350A/B360A series of surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifiers. It shares mechanical data and general features with the B350A variant, differing primarily in the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage rating. The E3 suffix denotes RoHS compliance and lead-free construction, while the /61T code specifies the reel packaging configuration.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include B360A-E3/5AT, which offers identical electrical characteristics but differs in packaging quantity and reel size.
