SBLB25L30CT-M3/I

Diode Arrays Overview

The SBLB25L30CT-M3/I is a dual common cathode Schottky rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It utilizes silicon technology and is housed in a D2PAK (TO-263AB) surface-mount package. The device provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 30 V and supports a total average forward rectified current of 25 A, with 12.5 A per diode. It features a low typical forward voltage drop of 0.39 V at 12.5 A and 125 °C junction temperature. The component withstands a peak forward surge current of 180 A and operates within a junction and storage temperature range of -55 to +150 °C.

• Polarity protection applications

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code against the manufacturer's documentation to ensure correct package type and compliance status. Confirm that the M3 suffix indicates RoHS compliance and halogen-free materials as specified in the datasheet. Cross-reference the D2PAK (TO-263AB) package dimensions with your PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring low forward voltage drop and high efficiency at low voltages. Ensure the thermal management strategy accounts for the junction-to-case thermal resistance of 4.0 °C/W per diode. Verify that the operating environment stays within the specified -55 to +150 °C temperature range and that surge currents do not exceed the 180 A limit.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the SBL25LxxCT series of dual low VF Schottky barrier rectifiers from Vishay. The series includes variants with different reverse voltage ratings such as 20 V and 25 V. The SBLB25L30CT-M3/I specifically denotes the surface-mount D2PAK variant with halogen-free RoHS compliance, distinguishing it from through-hole or automotive qualified versions within the same electrical family.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

SBLB25L30CTHM3/I is an AEC-Q101 qualified automotive version available in the same D2PAK package.
