VBT3060C-E3/4W

Diode Arrays Overview

The VBT3060C-E3/4W is a dual high voltage Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS) rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a common cathode configuration with two independent diodes housed in a D2PAK (TO-263AB) surface-mount package. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60 V and an average forward rectified current of 15 A per diode. Key electrical characteristics include a typical instantaneous forward voltage of 0.38 V at 5 A and 0.57 V at 15 A, alongside a peak forward surge current rating of 170 A.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Utilizes Trench MOS Schottky technology to achieve ultra-low forward voltage drop and reduced power losses
• Designed for high efficiency operation in switching applications
• Compliant with RoHS directives and JESD 201 class 1A whisker test requirements

Diode Arrays Applications

• High frequency inverters
• Switching power supplies
• Freewheeling diodes
• DC/DC converters
• Reverse battery protection circuits

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant when ordering, as the base part number covers multiple form factors including TO-220AB, ITO-220AB, and TO-262AA. Confirm that the E3 suffix indicates RoHS compliance and matte tin plating. Ensure the /4W designation matches the required tube packaging quantity of 50 units per standard delivery mode.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring low conduction losses at moderate voltages. The D2PAK package offers thermal performance suitable for heatsink mounting. Verify that the 60 V reverse voltage rating provides adequate margin for the specific circuit's peak inverse voltage. Consider the 15 A per diode continuous current limit against the expected load profile.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to the VT3060C family of dual TMBS rectifiers from Vishay. The family includes variants with different mechanical packages such as the through-hole VT3060C (TO-220AB) and VIT3060C (TO-262AA). All variants share identical electrical specifications but differ in thermal resistance and physical mounting dimensions.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct functional equivalents within the same Vishay series include VT3060C-E3/4W, VFT3060C-E3/4W, and VIT3060C-E3/4W. Substitution requires matching the electrical ratings and ensuring the alternative package type fits the PCB layout constraints.
