V3PM15HM3/H

Single Diodes Overview

The V3PM15HM3/H is a surface-mount Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS) rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features an SMP (DO-220AA) package and provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 150 V with an average forward current rating of 3.0 A. The device exhibits a low forward voltage drop, reaching a maximum of 1.12 V at 3.0 A, and supports a peak forward surge current of 80 A. It operates within a junction temperature range of -40 °C to +175 °C and holds AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive applications.

• Meets MSL level 1 requirements per J-STD-020 with a maximum peak reflow temperature of 260 °C
• AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive use and complies with halogen-free and RoHS standards

Single Diodes Applications

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

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code HM3 to confirm AEC-Q101 automotive qualification status. Ensure compliance with material categorization definitions provided in Vishay documentation. Confirm terminal solderability meets J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 standards. Validate that the component meets JESD 201 class 2 whisker test requirements associated with the suffix.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring low forward voltage drop and high efficiency in compact designs. The SMP package offers a low profile suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics when designing heat dissipation paths. Verify that the 150 V reverse voltage rating aligns with the circuit's peak operating conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the eSMP series of surface-mount TMBS rectifiers from Vishay. It shares the SMP (DO-220AA) footprint with other variants in the family but differs in current and voltage ratings. The HM3 suffix specifically denotes the AEC-Q101 qualified version, distinguishing it from commercial grade parts.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

V3PM15-M3/H serves as the commercial grade equivalent without automotive qualification. Other Vishay TMBS rectifiers in the SMP package may be considered if electrical parameters match, though forward voltage and current ratings must be verified against specific datasheet values.
