Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type required for your design, as the VT30L60C variant utilizes a TO-220AB case while this model uses TO-262AA. Confirm compliance requirements such as RoHS and halogen-free status, which are indicated by the M3 suffix. Ensure thermal management aligns with the specified junction temperature limits and derating curves provided in the official documentation.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when low forward voltage drop is critical for system efficiency. The TMBS technology offers superior performance compared to standard Schottky rectifiers. Consider the thermal resistance values and the need for adequate heat sinking based on the operating ambient temperature and current load requirements defined in the datasheet.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the VT/VIT30L60C series of dual Schottky rectifiers from Vishay. It shares core specifications with the VT30L60C but differs in physical packaging. Both variants utilize the same semiconductor die and electrical characteristics, allowing for flexibility in board layout and mounting styles depending on the mechanical constraints of the final assembly.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

The VT30L60C-M3/4W serves as a direct functional replacement within the same family, differing only in the TO-220AB package form factor. Verify pinout compatibility and mechanical dimensions before substituting to ensure proper fitment on the printed circuit board.

Diode Arrays FAQ

What is the typical instantaneous forward voltage at 5.0 A?

The typical instantaneous forward voltage is 0.43 V at an ambient temperature of 25 °C and 0.32 V at 125 °C when tested at 5.0 A.

Does the M3 suffix affect the electrical function?

No, the M3 suffix indicates that the base part number is halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and meets the JESD 201 class 1A whisker test without altering the electrical performance.

What is the maximum voltage rate of change?

The maximum voltage rate of change (dV/dt) at the rated reverse voltage is 10,000 V/μs.
