M6060P-E3/45

Diode Arrays Overview

The M6060P-E3/45 is a dual Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a common cathode configuration housed in a TO-247AD through-hole package. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60 V and an average forward rectified current of 30 A per diode. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage drop of 650 mV at 30 A and a reverse leakage current of 700 µA at 60 V. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +150°C.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Dual Schottky barrier rectifier with common cathode configuration for efficient power conversion
• High thermal performance enabled by the robust TO-247AD through-hole leaded package
• Low forward voltage drop characteristic minimizes conduction losses during operation
• Extended operating junction temperature range suitable for demanding industrial environments

Diode Arrays Applications

• DC-to-DC converter circuits requiring low loss rectification
• Free-wheeling diodes in high-current inductive load applications
• Power supply output rectification stages
• Solar charge controller input protection

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distribution channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance status via official datasheets as manufacturing processes may evolve. Validate pinout compatibility with existing PCB footprints before integration. Review latest manufacturer notices for any design or packaging updates that could impact procurement planning.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring high current handling capabilities combined with low forward voltage drops. The TO-247AD package provides superior thermal dissipation compared to smaller surface-mount alternatives. Ensure the system voltage remains below the 60 V rating to prevent breakdown. Consider thermal management requirements given the 30 A current capacity per diode.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the M6060 series of dual Schottky rectifiers from Vishay. It shares functional similarities with the M6060C-E3/45 but utilizes a different package style. The series is designed for general-purpose power rectification applications where efficiency and reliability are critical. The E3 suffix indicates lead-free termination compliant with international environmental standards.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

M6060C-E3/45 offers identical electrical specifications but uses a TO-220AB package, requiring PCB layout adjustments.
