VF30202C-M3/4W

Diode Arrays Overview

The VF30202C-M3/4W is a dual high voltage Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS) rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a common cathode configuration with two diodes housed in an ITO-220AB package. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V and a maximum average forward rectified current of 15 A per diode. Key electrical parameters include a typical forward voltage of 0.54 V at 5 A, a peak forward surge current of 260 A, and a maximum operating junction temperature of 175 °C.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Utilizes Gen 2 Trench MOS Schottky technology to achieve ultra-low forward voltage drop and reduced power losses.
• Features an isolated heatsink tab design within the ITO-220AB package for enhanced thermal management and electrical isolation.
• Complies with RoHS directives and JESD 201 class 1A whisker test requirements.

Diode Arrays Applications

• High frequency DC/DC converters
• Switching power supplies
• Freewheeling diodes
• OR-ing diode circuits
• Reverse battery protection

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required ITO-220AB package variant, as the base V30202C series includes other packages like TO-220AB and TO-263AB. Confirm compliance with halogen-free and RoHS standards if required by your assembly process. Ensure mounting torque does not exceed 10 in-lbs to prevent mechanical damage during installation.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common cathode Schottky rectifier is needed for high-efficiency applications requiring low forward voltage. The ITO-220AB package is suitable for through-hole mounting where electrical isolation between the heatsink and circuit ground is necessary. Consider the 175 °C junction temperature rating for high-temperature environments.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This component belongs to the V30202C family of dual high voltage TMBS rectifiers from Vishay. The 'VF' prefix specifically denotes the ITO-220AB package variant with an isolated tab, distinguishing it from the standard TO-220AB (V30202C), TO-263AB (VB30202C), and TO-262AA (VI30202C) versions.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include V30202C-M3/4W (TO-220AB package) and VB30202C-M3/4W (TO-263AB package). Verify that the replacement package meets the mechanical and thermal isolation requirements of the original design.

Diode Arrays FAQ

What is the maximum isolation voltage for the ITO-220AB package?

The VF30202C-M3/4W provides an isolation voltage of 1500 VAC from terminal to heatsink for 1 minute.

How does the forward voltage change with temperature?

The forward voltage decreases as temperature increases; it is typically 0.80 V at 15 A and 25 °C, dropping to 0.65 V at 15 A and 125 °C.
