Product details
Overview
80CNQ040A from Vishay is a center-tap Schottky rectifier module in D-61-8 through-hole package, rated for 2 × 40 A average forward current per leg, 40 V maximum DC reverse voltage, and operation up to 150 °C junction temperature. It delivers very low forward voltage drop (0.47 V at 40 A, 125 °C), high surge capability (5800 A IFSM), and is optimized for switching power supplies and reverse battery protection.
For engineers reviewing the 80CNQ040A datasheet, 80CNQ040A pinout, 80CNQ040A application, or 80CNQ040A equivalent, this device is selected for high-current, low-VF, industrial-grade DC/DC conversion where thermal robustness and low conduction loss are critical.
Technical Context
This dual-leg common-cathode Schottky rectifier uses proprietary barrier technology enabling reliable 150 °C TJ operation with moderate leakage. Its D-61-8 package features high-purity epoxy encapsulation and guard ring construction for enhanced ruggedness and moisture resistance.
The device supports high-frequency switching with low series inductance (5.5 nH) and fast dV/dt capability (10,000 V/μs), while its thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.42 °C/W per package) enables efficient heat transfer to heatsinks under sustained 80 A total load.

| VR (Max DC reverse) | 40 V - suitable for 36 V nominal bus systems with 20 % overvoltage margin |
| VF @ 40 A, 125 °C | 0.47 V - reduces conduction loss by ~35 % vs. standard Schottkys at same rating |
| IFSM (5 μs sine) | 5800 A - withstands severe line transients and inrush in industrial motor drives |
| RthJC (per package) | 0.42 °C/W - allows >60 W total dissipation with 25 °C heatsink rise |
| CT @ 5 V | 2600 pF - limits capacitive turn-on loss in >100 kHz SMPS designs |
| dV/dt | 10,000 V/μs - prevents false triggering in high-dV/dt gate-drive or snubber circuits |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the 80CNQ040A?
The 80CNQ040A is rated for continuous operation up to 150 °C junction temperature, validated per Vishay's qualification standards for industrial-level reliability. This allows full 80 A total current capability at elevated ambient temperatures when mounted on an adequately sized heatsink with RthCS ≤ 0.30 °C/W.
Does the 80CNQ040A have a center-tap configuration, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the 80CNQ040A is a center-tap Schottky rectifier module with two anodes (Terminals 1 and 3) and one shared cathode (Terminal 2). This configuration enables use in center-tapped transformer topologies such as forward converters and dual-phase synchronous rectifiers without external interconnection.
What is the forward voltage drop of the 80CNQ040A at rated current and temperature?
The 80CNQ040A exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 0.47 V per leg at 40 A and 125 °C junction temperature, measured under rectangular waveform conditions. At 25 °C, VF is 0.52 V at 40 A-confirming its low-conduction-loss design for high-efficiency power conversion.
Is the 80CNQ040A RoHS-compliant, and what does the "PbF" suffix indicate?
Yes, the 80CNQ040A carries the "PbF" suffix indicating lead-free terminations compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses high-purity, high-temperature epoxy encapsulation and meets all material restrictions without exemptions, supporting lead-free soldering processes.
How does the thermal resistance of the 80CNQ040A compare to standard TO-247 Schottky rectifiers?
The 80CNQ040A achieves RthJC = 0.42 °C/W per package-approximately 40 % lower than typical TO-247 Schottky rectifiers (≈0.7 °C/W). This results from its D-61-8 package's direct metal baseplate-to-heatsink interface, enabling higher power density and reduced thermal derating in compact power systems.
