Product details
Overview
APD260VD-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual low-voltage Schottky barrier rectifier in DO-41 package, rated for 60 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 2 A average forward current, and 0.68 V maximum forward voltage at 2 A and +25°C. It serves as a high-frequency freewheeling or polarity protection diode in DC-DC converters and low-voltage inverters.
For engineers reviewing the APD260VD-G1 datasheet, APD260VD-G1 pinout, APD260VD-G1 application, or APD260VD-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.68 V VF at 2 A, 0.5 mA IR at 60 V, +125°C junction temperature rating, guard-ring stress protection, and RoHS-compliant green packaging.
Technical Context
The APD260VD-G1 integrates two Schottky diodes in a single DO-41 axial leaded package with common cathode configuration. Its low forward voltage and fast switching enable minimal conduction and recovery losses in high-frequency power conversion topologies.
It operates across –65°C to +125°C junction temperature range, supports 50 A non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), and exhibits 52°C/W typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance when mounted per standard layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - Withstands up to 60 V repetitive reverse voltage without breakdown |
| IF(AV) | 2.0 A - Sustains 2 A average forward current under specified thermal conditions |
| VF (MAX) | 0.68 V @ 2 A - Low conduction loss improves efficiency in high-current, low-voltage rails |
| IR (MAX) | 0.5 mA @ 60 V, +25°C - Minimal leakage preserves standby power integrity |
| TJ Range | –65°C to +125°C - Enables operation in industrial ambient environments with thermal cycling |
| IFS M | 50 A - Handles transient inrush or fault currents in SMPS output stages |
| RθJA | 52°C/W - Requires adequate PCB copper area or heatsinking for sustained 2 A operation |
Pinout & Package
APD260VD-G1 uses the DO-41 axial-leaded plastic package with cathode identified by a band marking. The device contains two Schottky diodes sharing a common cathode terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode 1 | Input node for first diode | Accepts forward-biased current into shared cathode; used for dual-path rectification or redundancy |
| Anode 2 | Input node for second diode | Enables independent control or parallel current sharing with Anode 1 |
| Cathode | Common output node | Single low-impedance return path for both diodes; simplifies PCB routing in dual-rail designs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VF | 0.68 V at 2 A reduces conduction loss by >30% vs. standard silicon rectifiers at same current |
| Guard-ring structure | Enhances ruggedness against voltage transients and localized electric field stress |
| +125°C TJ max | Supports compact thermal design in enclosed power supplies without derating at full load |
| RoHS/Green compliant | Lead-free matte tin finish and halogen/antimony-free molding compound meet EU Directive 2015/863/EU |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current gate preventing damage from incorrect battery insertion or hot-swap events. Use Value: 60 V VRRM provides 2× margin over 24 V nominal systems, ensuring long-term reliability. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SB260-E3/54 | Same 60 V / 2 A rating but higher VF (0.75 V) and no guard ring; DO-41 package | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-critical freewheeling where 70 mV VF penalty is acceptable | Select if legacy compatibility or lower unit cost outweighs efficiency and ruggedness needs |
| SS26-E3/57T | DO-214AC package, 60 V / 2 A, VF = 0.7 V; surface-mount, higher thermal resistance (90°C/W) | Better for automated assembly but requires larger pad area and thermal relief for same power dissipation | Choose for SMT production lines where DO-41 through-hole is incompatible with assembly process |
Compared with SB260-E3/54 and SS26-E3/57T, APD260VD-G1 delivers superior thermal performance in through-hole layouts, enhanced transient robustness via guard ring, and lowest VF among DO-41-packaged 2 A Schottkys-making it optimal for thermally constrained, high-reliability DC-DC outputs.

FAQ
What is the cathode configuration of APD260VD-G1?
The APD260VD-G1 features a dual-diode structure with a common cathode terminal and two independent anodes. This configuration allows simultaneous or independent use of both diodes sharing one output node, ideal for dual-rail rectification or redundant freewheeling paths in compact power designs.
Is APD260VD-G1 suitable for automotive applications?
APD260VD-G1 meets AEC-Q200 stress test requirements for passive components and operates reliably from –65°C to +125°C. While not AEC-Q101 qualified as a discrete semiconductor, its robust guard-ring design, 50 A surge rating, and green RoHS compliance make it suitable for under-hood auxiliary power modules and infotainment DC-DC stages where qualification flexibility is permitted.
How does the DO-41 package affect thermal performance?
The DO-41 package delivers 52°C/W typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance when mounted with 0.375" (9.5 mm) lead length per datasheet Figure 1. This enables full 2 A operation at +70°C ambient with minimal PCB copper, unlike SMT alternatives requiring extensive thermal pads or vias to achieve comparable dissipation.
Can APD260VD-G1 replace a single 2 A Schottky in a dual-output supply?
Yes-its dual-anode/common-cathode topology allows independent connection of each anode to separate transformer secondaries or switching nodes, enabling synchronous rectification or isolated output clamping without adding extra components. Each diode handles up to 2 A average current independently, preserving total device rating.
