V8PM15-M3/H

Single Diodes Overview

The V8PM15-M3/H is a high current density surface-mount TMBS rectifier from Vishay General Semiconductor. It features an 8.0 A maximum average forward rectified current and a 150 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage. The device utilizes Trench MOS Schottky technology to achieve ultra-low forward voltage, specified at 0.75 V typical at 4.0 A and 25 °C. It operates within a junction temperature range of -40 to +175 °C and is housed in the SMPC (TO-277A) package.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Trench MOS Schottky technology for low forward voltage drop and high efficiency operation
• Very low profile construction with a typical height of 1.1 mm
• Halogen-free and RoHS-compliant commercial grade material categorization

Single Diodes Applications

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

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation before procurement. The base part number V8PM15-M3/H denotes the halogen-free, RoHS-compliant commercial grade variant. Confirm that the required package quantity matches the standard delivery modes, such as 1500 units on a 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, to ensure alignment with manufacturing requirements.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring high current density in a compact surface-mount form factor. The SMPC (TO-277A) package provides robust thermal performance suitable for demanding power conversion applications. Ensure the design accommodates the specified peak forward surge current of 140 A and the operating junction temperature limits up to 175 °C for reliable long-term operation.

Single Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the eSMP series of high current density surface-mount rectifiers. It represents Vishay's implementation of Trench MOS Barrier Schottky technology, designed to minimize power losses compared to traditional rectifiers. The product line targets modern electronics where space constraints and thermal management are critical design parameters.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

The V8PM15HM3/H serves as the automotive-grade equivalent within the same family. Both variants share identical electrical characteristics and physical dimensions but differ in qualification standards. Verify if AEC-Q101 certification is required for the target application before substituting between these part numbers.
