V15PM63HM3/I

Single Diodes Overview

The V15PM63HM3/I is a high current density surface-mount TMBS rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features an SMPC (TO-277A) package and operates with a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60 V and a maximum average forward rectified current of 15.0 A. The device exhibits ultra-low forward voltage characteristics, reaching 0.40 V at 5 A and 0.55 V at 15 A when the junction temperature is 125 °C. It supports a peak forward surge current of 220 A and functions within an operating junction temperature range of -40 to +175 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'HM3' confirms AEC-Q101 qualification and halogen-free compliance. Confirm the '/I' suffix corresponds to the 6500-unit base quantity delivered in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel packaging. Ensure the component meets RoHS standards as specified for the commercial grade variant.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high efficiency operation and minimal forward voltage drop at elevated temperatures. The device is suitable for applications demanding robust performance under high current conditions up to 15 A. Consider the thermal resistance values and derating curves to ensure proper heat dissipation within the specified junction temperature limits.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the eSMP series of high current density surface-mount rectifiers from Vishay. It represents an evolution in Trench MOS Barrier Schottky technology designed to replace traditional planar diodes. The SMPC package provides a compact footprint while maintaining high thermal conductivity for efficient heat transfer to the PCB.
