VSS8D5M15-M3/I

Single Diodes Overview

The VSS8D5M15-M3/I is a surface-mount TMBS rectifier from Vishay, housed in a SlimSMAW (DO-221AD) package. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 150 V and a maximum average forward rectified current of 5 A. The device supports a peak forward surge current of 100 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -40 to +175 °C. Electrical characteristics include an instantaneous forward voltage of up to 1.15 V at 5 A and 25 °C, with a typical junction capacitance of 300 pF.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes Trench MOS Barrier Schottky technology for high-frequency performance
• Features a low-profile SlimSMAW package compatible with SOD-128 outlines
• Includes matte tin plated leads that are solderable per J-STD-002 standards

Single Diodes Applications

• High frequency inverters
• Freewheeling circuits
• DC/DC converters
• Polarity protection

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation before procurement. The '/I' suffix indicates a 13-inch tape and reel delivery mode with a base quantity of 14,000 units. Confirm compliance requirements such as RoHS status and material categorization directly through manufacturer resources or authorized distributors to ensure alignment with project specifications.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-diode configuration with a 150 V rating and 5 A continuous current capacity is required. The SlimSMAW package provides a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained designs. Ensure thermal management strategies account for the specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance values during operation.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the eSMP series of surface-mount Schottky rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It represents a standard non-automotive grade variant within the VSS8D5M15 product line, distinguished by its '/M3' halogen-free and RoHS-compliant designation and '/I' reel packaging code.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

For automotive-grade applications requiring identical electrical parameters, consider the VSS8D5M15HM3 variants which carry AEC-Q101 qualification. Verify mechanical compatibility and pinout alignment when substituting components from different manufacturers.
