V12PL63HM3/H

Single Diodes Overview

The V12PL63HM3/H is a high current density surface-mount TMBS rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features an SMPC (TO-277A) package and AEC-Q101 qualification. Key electrical parameters include a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60 V, a maximum average forward rectified current of 12 A, and a peak forward surge current of 200 A. The typical instantaneous forward voltage is 0.45 V at 12 A and 125 °C. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -40 to +150 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes Trench MOS Schottky technology for ultra-low forward voltage drop and reduced power losses.
• Features a very low profile with a typical height of 1.1 mm.
• Meets MSL level 1 requirements per J-STD-020 with a maximum peak reflow temperature of 260 °C.

Single Diodes Applications

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

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific HM3 suffix indicates AEC-Q101 automotive qualification rather than commercial grade. Confirm the package matches the SMPC (TO-277A) outline dimensions. Ensure thermal management aligns with the specified junction-to-ambient resistance values under your operating conditions.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when low forward voltage drop is critical for efficiency in 60 V systems. The TO-277A package supports high current densities up to 12 A. Verify that the application environment meets the -40 to +150 °C operating junction temperature range.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the eSMP series of high current density surface-mount rectifiers. It represents Vishay's Trench MOS Barrier Schottky technology designed for robust performance in demanding power-conversion applications requiring high reliability and low profile.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

V12PL63-M3/H is the commercial grade equivalent without automotive qualification. V12PL64HM3/H offers similar specifications but may have different forward voltage characteristics.

Single Diodes FAQ

What is the difference between the M3 and HM3 ordering suffixes?

The HM3 suffix denotes that the device is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive applications, whereas the base M3 suffix indicates commercial grade compliance.

Is the V12PL63HM3/H suitable for high-frequency switching?

Yes, it is designed for use in low voltage high frequency inverters and DC/DC converters due to its Schottky technology which minimizes reverse recovery time.
