VIT6045C-M3/4W

Diode Arrays Overview

The VIT6045C-M3/4W is a dual low-voltage Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS) rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a common cathode configuration with two independent diodes housed in a TO-262AA (I2PAK) package. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 45 V and an average forward rectified current of 30 A per diode, totaling 60 A for the device. Key electrical characteristics include a typical instantaneous forward voltage of 0.33 V at 10 A and 125 °C, and a peak forward surge current capability of 320 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' corresponds to the halogen-free, RoHS-compliant commercial grade variant packaged in tubes of 50 units. Confirm the TO-262AA package designation matches the required long-lead I2PAK form factor for your PCB layout. Ensure thermal management strategies account for the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance values under expected load conditions.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common cathode Schottky rectifier is required for low-voltage, high-current applications. The TO-262AA package offers through-hole mounting with long leads suitable for high-power density designs. Consider the 45 V reverse voltage rating and 30 A per-diode current capacity against your circuit's peak and continuous load requirements to ensure adequate safety margins.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the VT6045C/VIT6045C family of dual low-voltage Trench MOS Barrier Schottky rectifiers. The 'VIT' prefix specifically denotes the TO-262AA (I2PAK) package variation, distinguishing it from the standard TO-220AB version. Both variants share identical electrical specifications but differ in mechanical footprint and mounting style.
