VX80M60PW-M3/P

Diode Arrays Overview

The Vishay VX80M60PW is a dual high voltage Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS) rectifier housed in a TO-247AD 3L package. It features a common cathode configuration with a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60 V and a total maximum average forward rectified current of 80 A (40 A per diode). The device supports a peak forward surge current of 500 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -40 °C to +175 °C. Electrical characteristics include an ultra-low forward voltage drop, reaching as low as 0.37 V at 10 A and 125 °C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix when purchasing. The base part number VX80M60PW-M3/P denotes standard commercial grade compliance with RoHS and halogen-free requirements. The variant VX80M60PWHM3/P includes additional AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive applications. Confirm the required thermal resistance and derating curves match your system's ambient conditions before finalizing orders.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high current handling in a through-hole format. The dual common cathode arrangement allows for efficient bridge or center-tapped configurations. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the TO-247AD footprint and provides adequate heat sinking, as the thermal performance relies on the junction-to-case resistance. Validate that the 60 V rating aligns with the peak reverse voltages present in the target circuit topology.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to Vishay's Dual High Voltage TMBS rectifier family, designed to replace traditional fast recovery diodes in high-efficiency applications. The TO-247AD 3L package offers superior thermal dissipation compared to smaller surface-mount alternatives.
