VS-30CTQ100PBF

Diode Arrays Overview

The VS-30CTQ100PBF is a center tap Schottky rectifier from Vishay Semiconductors, featuring a dual anode common cathode configuration in a TO-220AB package. It provides a maximum average forward current of 30 A (15 A per leg) and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V. The device operates reliably up to a junction temperature of 175 °C with a typical forward voltage drop of 0.67 V at 15 A and 125 °C. Maximum reverse leakage current reaches 7.0 mA at 125 °C, while the non-repetitive surge current capability is rated at 850 A for a 5 μs sine pulse.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation before procurement. The PbF designation indicates lead-free and RoHS compliance. Confirm that the TO-220AB package dimensions and mounting torque requirements align with the target assembly specifications. Ensure thermal management design accommodates the specified thermal resistance values for the intended duty cycle.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when applications require a center tap Schottky rectifier capable of handling 100 V reverse voltage and 30 A total forward current. The 175 °C junction temperature rating supports high-temperature environments where standard silicon rectifiers may fail. Verify that the 0.67 V forward voltage drop meets efficiency targets for the specific load conditions and operating frequency.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the VS-30CTQ...PbF series of center tap Schottky rectifiers manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings, such as 80 V and 100 V options. All devices share the same physical TO-220AB package and electrical characteristics regarding current handling and thermal performance, differing primarily in their maximum DC reverse voltage ratings.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Officially documented substitutes include the VS-30CTQ080PbF for lower voltage applications requiring 80 V reverse blocking capability. Both parts utilize the identical TO-220AB package and maintain the same 30 A current rating and 175 °C thermal limits. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure the reduced voltage rating of the substitute does not compromise circuit safety margins.
