Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official Vishay documentation to confirm compliance with halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and termination lead (Pb)-free requirements. Ensure that the ordering quantity matches the standard packaging format of 50 units in antistatic plastic tubes. Cross-reference the document revision date to ensure access to the most current electrical specifications and thermal characteristics.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a center-tapped Schottky rectifier is required for applications demanding low forward voltage drop and high-frequency operation. The device is suitable for designs requiring a 35 V reverse voltage rating and a total continuous current capacity of 15 A. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics and mounting torque specifications during the mechanical design phase to ensure proper heat dissipation and physical stability.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This component belongs to the VS-15CTQ... center tap Schottky rectifier series manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings, specifically the VS-15CTQ040-M3 and VS-15CTQ045-M3. All members share identical current ratings, package styles, and thermal characteristics, differing only in their maximum DC reverse voltage capabilities.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include VS-15CTQ040-M3 and VS-15CTQ045-M3 from the same manufacturer. These alternatives offer higher reverse voltage ratings while maintaining identical current handling and package dimensions.
