V8PM153HM3/I

Single Diodes Overview

The V8PM153HM3/I is a high current density surface-mount TMBS rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features an SMPC (TO-277A) package and operates with a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 150 V and a maximum average forward rectified current of 8.0 A. The device exhibits ultra-low forward voltage characteristics, reaching 0.54 V at 4 A and 0.62 V at 8 A when the junction temperature is 125 °C. It supports a peak forward surge current of 140 A and functions within an operating junction temperature range of -40 to +175 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix against official documentation to confirm compliance status. The 'HM3' designation indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant materials that are also qualified under AEC-Q101 standards. Confirm the delivery mode matches project requirements, as the '/I' suffix corresponds to a base quantity of 6500 units in a 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel format.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high efficiency operation and minimal thermal resistance. The device offers a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 75 °C/W and a junction-to-mount resistance of 4 °C/W. Ensure the application circuit accommodates the specified maximum average forward rectified current of 8.0 A and the peak forward surge capability of 140 A during transient conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context
