M6060C-E3/45

Diode Arrays Overview

The M6060C-E3/45 is a dual common cathode Schottky rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60 V and a total maximum average forward rectified current of 60 A, with 30 A per diode. The device supports a peak forward surge current of 320 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -65 °C to +150 °C. Packaged in a TO-220AB case, it utilizes guardring technology for overvoltage protection.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Guardring structure provides enhanced overvoltage protection capabilities
• Low forward voltage drop contributes to reduced power losses and high efficiency
• High frequency operation suitability for switching applications
• High forward surge capability ensures robustness against transient currents

Diode Arrays Applications

• Freewheeling diodes in low voltage circuits
• Polarity protection applications
• DC/DC converters
• OR-ing diodes
• Switching mode power supplies

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the component status as discontinued or obsolete through official manufacturer channels before procurement planning. Confirm that alternative sourcing options are available if production continuity is required. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards and material categorization requirements specified in the datasheet. Validate that the TO-220AB package dimensions match the target PCB layout constraints.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a dual common cathode configuration with a 60 V reverse voltage rating. The 30 A per diode current handling capacity makes it suitable for moderate to high current applications. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics when designing heat dissipation solutions. Verify that the operating junction temperature range meets the environmental requirements of the final assembly.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the M60xxC series of dual common cathode Schottky rectifiers from Vishay. The series includes variants with different reverse voltage ratings, such as the M6035C (35 V) and M6045C (45 V). All members share similar mechanical and electrical characteristics, differing primarily in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage specifications.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers include M6035C-E3/45 and M6045C-E3/45. These components share the same package and general electrical profile but differ in reverse voltage ratings. Verify specific circuit requirements to ensure the lower voltage ratings of these substitutes do not compromise system reliability.
