VB40100C-E3/4W

Diode Arrays Overview

The VB40100C-E3/4W is a dual high voltage Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS) rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a common cathode configuration in a TO-263AB (D2PAK) surface-mount package. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and provides a total maximum average forward rectified current of 40 A, with 20 A per diode. It exhibits an instantaneous forward voltage of 0.73 V maximum at 20 A and 25 °C. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -40 to +150 °C and meets MSL level 1 standards.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Utilizes Trench MOS Schottky technology for low forward voltage drop and reduced power losses

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '4W' corresponds to the tube packaging format containing 50 units per tube. Confirm that the TO-263AB package designation matches the required D2PAK footprint on the target PCB layout. Ensure compliance with the specified material categorization definitions provided in the manufacturer documentation.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common cathode Schottky rectifier is required for high-efficiency applications. The TMBS technology offers superior performance compared to standard Schottky diodes. Consider the thermal characteristics and derating curves if operating near the maximum junction temperature limits.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the V40100C family of dual high-voltage Trench MOS Barrier Schottky Rectifiers. The family includes variants such as V40100C, VF40100C, and VI40100C, which share identical electrical specifications but differ in physical package types like TO-220AB or ITO-220AB.
