VX40M100CHM3/P

Diode Arrays Overview

The Vishay VX40M100CHM3/P is a dual high voltage Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS) rectifier housed in a TO-220AB package. It features a common cathode circuit configuration with a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and a total maximum average forward rectified current of 40 A, split as 20 A per diode. The device supports an operating junction temperature range from -40 °C to +175 °C and withstands a peak forward surge current of 250 A. Typical instantaneous forward voltage is 0.50 V at 5 A and 25 °C, dropping to 0.41 V at 125 °C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix against the manufacturer's documentation to confirm compliance requirements. The HM3 suffix indicates AEC-Q101 qualification and Class 2 whisker test compliance, while the M3 suffix denotes Class 1 compliance. Confirm that the tube delivery mode matches the required quantity for production integration.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high efficiency and low thermal resistance in dual-channel configurations. Ensure the case temperature remains within limits defined by the derating curve to maintain the 40 A total current rating. Validate that the 100 V reverse voltage rating provides adequate margin for the specific circuit's peak inverse voltage conditions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the VX40M100C family of dual TMBS rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. The series is designed to replace standard silicon rectifiers in applications demanding lower conduction losses. The TO-220AB mechanical housing facilitates direct mounting to heatsinks via the exposed thermal pad.
