VS-3C04ET07T-M3

Single Diodes Overview

The VS-3C04ET07T-M3 is a Generation 3 Silicon Carbide (SiC) Schottky diode rated for 650 V and 4 A. It utilizes a merged PIN Schottky structure on wide band gap material to achieve improved forward voltage and efficiency. The device features a positive temperature coefficient for VF, enabling easy paralleling without current sharing issues. It exhibits virtually no recovery tail and negligible switching losses, making it suitable for high-speed hard switching applications.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• MPS structure provides high ruggedness against forward current surge events
• Temperature invariant switching behavior with virtually zero reverse recovery time
• Positive VF temperature coefficient facilitates parallel operation

Single Diodes Applications

• AC/DC Power Factor Correction (PFC)
• DC/DC ultra-high frequency output rectification in FBPS converters
• LLC resonant converter topologies

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required package and environmental compliance. Confirm that the TO-220AC 2L mounting torque does not exceed 10 in-lbs during assembly. Validate thermal management requirements against the junction-to-case thermal resistance specifications provided in the datasheet.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring low switching losses and high-temperature operation up to 175 °C. The positive temperature coefficient of the forward voltage drop simplifies thermal management in parallel configurations compared to standard silicon diodes.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's Gen 3 SiC Schottky Diode family. It shares the same 650 V rating and TO-220AC 2L package as higher current variants like the VS-3C10EV07T-M3/I, but offers lower continuous forward current capability suited for compact power stages.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same Vishay generation include other 650 V SiC Schottky diodes in the TO-220AC 2L package, such as the VS-3C08EV07T-M3/I or VS-3C10EV07T-M3/I, provided the application current requirements are met.
