VSSAF510-M3/I

Single Diodes Overview

The VSSAF510-M3/I is a surface-mount Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS) rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It utilizes SlimSMA (DO-221AC) packaging with a typical height of 0.95 mm. The device features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 100 V and a maximum average forward rectified current (IF(AV)) of 5.0 A when mounted on a recommended copper pad area. It supports a peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 100 A. Electrical characteristics include an instantaneous forward voltage (VF) of 0.68 V maximum at IF = 5.0 A and TA = 125 °C, and a reverse current (IR) of 20 mA maximum at VR = 100 V and TA = 125 °C. The operating junction temperature range spans from -40 °C to +150 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Trench MOS Schottky technology providing low power losses and high efficiency
• Very low profile design suitable for automated placement
• Meets MSL level 1 per J-STD-020 with LF maximum peak of 260 °C

Single Diodes Applications

• High frequency inverters
• Freewheeling applications
• DC/DC converters
• Polarity protection in commercial, industrial, and automotive applications

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package quantity and reel diameter. The base part number VSSAF510-M3/I corresponds to a 14,000-unit delivery mode in a 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel. Confirm compliance requirements such as halogen-free status and RoHS adherence directly from the manufacturer's datasheet before procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a single Schottky rectifier in a SlimSMA footprint. Ensure thermal management accounts for the specified thermal resistance values relative to the copper pad area used. Validate that the application current does not exceed the derating curves provided for the expected mount temperature conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the eSMP series of surface-mount rectifiers. It is distinct from automotive-qualified variants which utilize the HM3 suffix. The SlimSMA package offers a compact solution compared to standard SMA or SMB packages while maintaining comparable current handling capabilities for general-purpose switching applications.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include VSSAF510HM3/I for automotive qualification requirements. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics when considering cross-brand alternatives.
