VIT30L60C-M3/4W

Diode Arrays Overview

The VIT30L60C-M3/4W is a dual Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS) rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a common cathode configuration with two diodes housed in a TO-262AA package. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60 V and provides a total maximum average forward rectified current of 30 A, or 15 A per diode. Key electrical characteristics include a peak forward surge current of 200 A and an ultra-low forward voltage drop of 0.32 V at 5.0 A. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -40 °C to +150 °C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix M3/4W to confirm halogen-free compliance and RoHS adherence. Ensure the TO-262AA package variant matches the required PCB footprint. Confirm the base part number corresponds to the dual common cathode configuration rather than single diode alternatives. Validate thermal resistance requirements against the datasheet specifications before finalizing procurement.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring low forward voltage drops at moderate currents up to 15 A per diode. The TMBS technology offers superior performance compared to standard Schottky rectifiers. Consider the 60 V rating when designing circuits with potential voltage spikes. Verify that the operating junction temperature remains within the specified -40 °C to +150 °C range for reliable long-term operation.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the VT30L60C/VIT30L60C series of Dual Trench MOS Barrier Schottky Rectifiers. The 'VIT' prefix specifically denotes the TO-262AA package variant, while the 'VT' prefix indicates the TO-220AB package. Both variants share identical electrical characteristics and are designed for high-efficiency power conversion applications.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Vishay dual Schottky rectifiers with matching 60 V ratings and similar current capabilities. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values when considering alternative manufacturers. Ensure any replacement maintains the common cathode configuration and meets the same environmental compliance standards.
