VS-60CTQ035-M3

Diode Arrays Overview

The VS-60CTQ035-M3 is a high-performance Schottky rectifier featuring a dual anode common cathode configuration. It provides a maximum average forward current of 60 A (30 A per leg) and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 35 V. The device utilizes proprietary barrier technology to ensure low forward voltage drop, typically 0.51 V at 25 °C, and optimized reverse leakage characteristics. Designed for robust operation, it supports junction temperatures up to 150 °C and includes guard ring protection for enhanced ruggedness.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Proprietary barrier technology enables reliable operation at elevated junction temperatures up to 150 °C.
• Guard ring structure provides enhanced mechanical strength and long-term reliability against environmental stress.
• Optimized for low reverse leakage current at high temperatures, ensuring efficiency in power conversion applications.

Diode Arrays Applications

• Switching power supplies
• DC-DC converters
• Freewheeling diodes
• Reverse battery protection circuits

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '-M3' confirms halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and lead-free termination specifications. Ensure the package type matches the required TO-220AB 3L footprint. Confirm that the 35 V rating aligns with the circuit's maximum working peak reverse voltage requirements before finalizing procurement.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a center-tapped Schottky rectifier is required for high-frequency switching applications. The 35 V rating suits low-voltage DC bus systems. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the 1.2 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance per leg. Consider the 1500 A non-repetitive surge current capability for transient protection scenarios.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's High Performance Schottky Rectifier series, specifically the 60CTQ0xx family. It shares the same physical package and electrical architecture as the VS-60CTQ040-M3 and VS-60CTQ045-M3, differing only in the maximum DC reverse voltage rating. The 'M3' designation indicates compliance with modern environmental standards.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same Vishay family include VS-60CTQ040-M3 and VS-60CTQ045-M3, which offer higher reverse voltage ratings but maintain identical current and thermal characteristics.
