Diodes Incorporated APD160VH-E1

Overview

APD160VH-E1 from Diodes Incorporated is a Schottky barrier rectifier with 1 A, 60 V, surface-mount rectifier package. It targets low forward loss in low-voltage power paths, where a standard silicon rectifier would waste more voltage and heat.

For engineers reviewing the APD160VH-E1 datasheet, APD160VH-E1 pinout, APD160VH-E1 application, or APD160VH-E1 equivalent, the most useful checks are 1 A, 60 V, surface-mount rectifier package, low-voltage power rails, freewheel paths.

Technical Context

APD160VH-E1 uses Schottky behavior for low forward voltage and fast switching. That makes it valuable in low-voltage rails where every millivolt of conduction loss can affect heat or output margin.

Schottky leakage rises with voltage and temperature, so reverse-bias stress, hot leakage, copper area, and surge exposure should be reviewed together before changing the diode.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives

When evaluating APD160VH-E1 equivalent devices, compare voltage rating or operating class, current or output capability, package and footprint, pin mapping or polarity, thermal behavior, qualification suffix, lifecycle and sourcing status. A similar family name is not enough when the board depends on timing, leakage, firmware, optical output, or protection behavior.

Quality

APD160VH-E1 should be sourced as original Diodes Incorporated material through traceable and controlled supply channels. Quality verification may include package inspection, marking verification, polarity or pinout review, solderability testing, leakage or continuity checks, and reel label verification, along with incoming inspection suited to Schottky barrier rectifier production, repair, or lifecycle procurement.

Availability

APD160VH-E1 is available at Aetrix Electronics and suitable for low-voltage power rails, freewheel paths, reverse-polarity protection, adapter and converter outputs requiring 1 A, 60 V, surface-mount rectifier package in a controlled BOM or repair program.

Supply support may include scheduled delivery planning, volume procurement support, BOM continuity assistance, traceable sourcing management, and lifecycle availability coordination for manufacturers, repair teams, contract manufacturers, and engineering buyers managing Schottky barrier rectifier demand.

For production deployment, confirming package fit, pin mapping or polarity, electrical rating, temperature margin, lifecycle status, approved manufacturer identity, and sourcing continuity helps reduce qualification risk for APD160VH-E1.

Manufacturer

Diodes Incorporated supplies rectifiers, Schottky diodes, SBR devices, protection products, transistors, MOSFETs, analog ICs, logic devices, and power-management semiconductors. APD160VH-E1 belongs to the Diodes Incorporated product family identified by its prefix and package suffix.

FAQ

What is APD160VH-E1 used for?

APD160VH-E1 is used for low-voltage power rails, freewheel paths, reverse-polarity protection. In those circuits, APD160VH-E1 provides the Schottky barrier rectifier function with 1 A, 60 V, surface-mount rectifier package. The final selection should match the schematic role, operating stress, package footprint, and sourcing requirements.

What package or format does APD160VH-E1 use?

APD160VH-E1 uses surface-mount rectifier package. This package or item format affects footprint, soldering, thermal behavior, polarity or pin mapping, and incoming inspection. When replacing APD160VH-E1, the package code should be checked as carefully as the headline electrical rating.

What are the key design checks for APD160VH-E1?

Key design checks for APD160VH-E1 include voltage margin, current or output load, temperature rise, pinout or polarity, package fit, lifecycle status. These checks help prevent a visually similar part from changing circuit behavior or assembly reliability.

Can APD160VH-E1 be replaced by a similar part?

APD160VH-E1 can be compared with similar family members only after electrical limits, package, orientation, qualification suffix, timing or leakage behavior, and approved-source rules are reviewed. A similar name alone is not enough because APD160VH-E1 may carry package, program, bin, or lifecycle details.

Why source APD160VH-E1 through Aetrix Electronics?

Sourcing APD160VH-E1 through Aetrix Electronics supports traceable procurement, scheduled delivery planning, BOM continuity assistance, and lifecycle availability coordination. This is useful when APD160VH-E1 is needed for production builds, repair lots, controlled alternates, or long-running equipment support.
