V2PM63LHM3/H

Single Diodes Overview

The V2PM63LHM3/H is a surface-mount TMBS rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features an SMP (DO-220AA) package and operates with a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60 V and a maximum DC forward current of 2 A. The device supports a peak forward surge current of 50 A and maintains a junction temperature range from -40 °C to +175 °C. Typical instantaneous forward voltage is 0.52 V at 1 A, rising to a maximum of 0.64 V at 2 A. Reverse current is specified at 0.01 mA at 25 °C and 1 mA at 125 °C under 60 V bias.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes Trench MOS Barrier Schottky technology for low power losses and high efficiency
• Features a low profile SMP package suitable for automated surface-mount assembly
• Includes automotive-grade qualification via the HM3 suffix designation

Single Diodes Applications

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

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering code includes the HM3 suffix to ensure compliance with AEC-Q101 automotive standards. Confirm the base part number matches the V2PM63L specification sheet. Ensure the component meets JESD 201 class 2 whisker test requirements as indicated by the M3 or HM3 suffixes. Validate RoHS compliance and halogen-free status against the manufacturer's documentation before procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a single Schottky rectifier in an SMP package is required for 60 V applications. The device is appropriate for designs needing a maximum average forward current of 2 A. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics if operating near the upper junction temperature limit. Verify that the package dimensions align with the recommended copper pad area on the PCB layout.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the eSMP series of surface-mount rectifiers. It represents a transition from traditional planar diodes to trench MOS barrier technology within Vishay's portfolio. The SMP package provides a compact footprint compared to larger through-hole alternatives while maintaining robust current handling capabilities for general-purpose power conversion tasks.
