V5NL63-M3/I

Single Diodes Overview

The V5NL63-M3/I is a surface-mount Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS) rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It utilizes silicon technology in a leadless DFN3820A-2 package with side-wettable flanks, compatible with SMP (DO-220AA) outlines. The device features a single circuit configuration with a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60 V and a maximum average forward rectified current of 5 A. Electrical characteristics include a typical instantaneous forward voltage of 0.44 V at 2.5 A and 25 °C, rising to 0.51 V at 5 A. Peak forward surge current capability is rated at 100 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine wave. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -40 °C to +150 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix against official documentation to confirm delivery mode and base quantity. The 'I' suffix indicates a 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel with a base quantity of 14,000 units. Confirm compliance requirements such as RoHS and halogen-free status, which are standard for the M3 suffix. Ensure that any automotive qualification needs are addressed via the separate HM3 ordering code if required.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a compact surface-mount solution with low forward voltage drop. The DFN3820A package offers thermal performance suitable for moderate current applications up to 5 A average. Verify PCB footprint compatibility with the specified mounting pad layout. Consider the thermal resistance values when designing heat dissipation paths, particularly regarding junction-to-ambient and junction-to-mount parameters under different duty cycles.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the V5N series of Vishay's TMBS rectifiers, designed for high-efficiency power conversion. The DFN3820A package is engineered for high current density and low profile requirements. The product line emphasizes reliability through material categorization compliance and whisker test adherence. It serves as a modern alternative to traditional through-hole or larger surface-mount packages in space-constrained electronics.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

The datasheet notes compatibility with the SMP (DO-220AA) package case outline. Designers should verify pinout and dimensional tolerances before substituting components from other manufacturers or different Vishay series. No direct substitute part numbers are explicitly listed in the provided documentation.
