V10170C-M3/4W

Diode Arrays Overview

The V10170C-M3/4W is a dual high-voltage Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS) rectifier in a TO-220AB package. It features a common cathode configuration with two independent diodes. Key electrical ratings include a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 170 V and a total maximum average forward rectified current of 10 A (5 A per diode). The device exhibits an ultra-low forward voltage drop of 0.57 V at 2.5 A and 0.65 V at 5.0 A, ensuring high efficiency operation. It supports a peak forward surge current of 80 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -40 °C to +175 °C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix /4W corresponds to the tube delivery mode containing 50 units per tube as listed in the Vishay ordering information table. Confirm that the M3 suffix indicates compliance with JESD 201 class 1A whisker testing requirements. Ensure the procurement documentation references Document Number 89940 for accurate technical specifications and mechanical data alignment.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a dual common cathode Schottky rectifier with a 170 V blocking capability. The TO-220AB package provides robust thermal performance with a typical thermal resistance of 1.7 °C/W per device. Consider the 0.65 V forward voltage at 5 A load when calculating conduction losses. Validate that the 80 A surge current rating meets transient load requirements in the target application circuit.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This dual TMBS rectifier belongs to Vishay's high-voltage Schottky series designed for efficient power management. The TO-220AB through-hole package facilitates easy mounting on heat sinks or PCBs. The product utilizes advanced trench technology to minimize forward voltage while maintaining low leakage currents, making it distinct from standard PN junction rectifiers in high-frequency switching environments.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 170 V reverse voltage, 10 A total current, and TO-220AB package. Verify pinout compatibility for common cathode configurations. Check if alternative parts offer comparable thermal resistance and forward voltage characteristics at similar operating currents.
