V30120C-M3/4W

Diode Arrays Overview

The V30120C-M3/4W is a dual high-voltage Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS) rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a common cathode configuration with two diodes housed in a TO-220AB package. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 120 V and an average forward rectified current of 30 A per device (15 A per diode). Key electrical parameters include a peak forward surge current of 150 A, a typical thermal resistance of 2.2 °C/W per diode, and a maximum operating junction temperature of 150 °C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's documentation to ensure correct packaging and compliance status. Confirm that the component meets RoHS directives and is halogen-free as specified for the M3 series. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid traceability for the Vishay General Semiconductor Diodes Division product line.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common cathode Schottky rectifier is required for 120 V applications. The TO-220AB package is suitable for through-hole mounting where moderate thermal dissipation is needed. Consider the 150 A surge capability for inductive load switching scenarios requiring robust transient handling.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the V30120C family of dual high-voltage TMBS rectifiers. It is designed to replace standard fast recovery rectifiers in applications where lower forward voltage drop and improved efficiency are critical. The M3 suffix indicates compliance with environmental standards including RoHS and halogen-free requirements.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same Vishay family include VI30120C-M3/4W for the TO-262AA surface mount variant. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance characteristics when substituting with other manufacturers' dual Schottky rectifiers rated at 120 V and 30 A.
