V8KM60DU-M3/I

Diode Arrays Overview

The V8KM60DU-M3/I is a high current density surface-mount Trench MOS Barrier Schottky rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features an ultra-low forward voltage of 0.41 V at IF = 2 A and operates with a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 60 V. The device provides a maximum DC forward current (IF(AV)) of 8 A per device, or 4 A per diode in its separated cathode dual configuration. It supports a peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 80 A and functions within an operating junction temperature range of -40 °C to +175 °C. Packaged in a FlatPAK 5 x 6 case, it meets MSL level 1 standards.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• High efficiency operation suitable for demanding power-conversion applications
• Separated cathode circuit configuration in a compact FlatPAK 5 x 6 package

Diode Arrays Applications

• Low voltage high frequency DC/DC converters
• Freewheeling diodes
• Polarity protection applications

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation before procurement. The '/I' suffix indicates a base quantity of 6000 units delivered in a 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel. Confirm that the standard non-automotive version aligns with project requirements, as the HM3 variant denotes AEC-Q101 qualification. Ensure compliance with material categorization definitions provided by the manufacturer.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high current density and low power dissipation in surface-mount layouts. The FlatPAK 5 x 6 package offers a thermal resistance (RTJA) of 80 °C/W in free air. Evaluate the derating curves for average forward current based on the expected mount temperature. The separated cathode design allows independent control of two diodes within a single footprint.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the V8KM60DU series of high current density surface-mount Trench MOS Barrier Schottky Rectifiers from Vishay. The series is engineered for robust performance in low voltage applications. The M3 suffix confirms the device is halogen-free and RoHS compliant, adhering to JESD 201 class 2 whisker test standards for matte tin plated leads.
