V40DM60CHM3/I

Diode Arrays Overview

The V40DM60CHM3/I is a dual low-voltage Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS) rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features an SMPD (TO-263AC) package with a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60 V and a total maximum average forward rectified current of 40 A (20 A per diode). The device achieves an ultra-low forward voltage drop, typically 0.36 V at 5 A and 125 °C. It supports a peak forward surge current of 240 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -40 to +175 °C. This component is AEC-Q101 qualified.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the HM3 suffix confirms AEC-Q101 qualification status. Confirm the specific tape and reel packaging details match your assembly line requirements. Ensure thermal management design accounts for the specified junction-to-ambient resistance values under your operating conditions.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when automotive qualification is required alongside low forward voltage characteristics. Compare the 60 V rating against system voltage spikes. Evaluate the 40 A total current capacity against load requirements. Consider the TO-263AC footprint for PCB layout constraints.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the eSMP series of dual common cathode Schottky rectifiers. It shares the SMPD (TO-263AC) mechanical outline with other V40DM variants but differs in electrical ratings and automotive qualification. The HM3 designation specifically denotes the AEC-Q101 qualified version of the standard V40DM60C-M3/I.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

V40DM60C-M3/I serves as the non-automotive equivalent. Verify if AEC-Q101 qualification is mandatory for the target application before substituting.
