Product details
Overview
APD260VDTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual low-voltage Schottky barrier rectifier in DO-214AC (SMA) package, rated for 60 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 2 A average forward current, and 0.68 V max forward voltage at 2 A and +25°C. It serves as a high-frequency freewheeling or polarity protection diode in DC-DC converters and switch-mode power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the APD260VDTR-G1 datasheet, APD260VDTR-G1 pinout, APD260VDTR-G1 application, or APD260VDTR-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low VF for reduced conduction loss, 50 A surge rating for transient robustness, 125°C junction temperature capability, RoHS-compliant "Green" packaging, and DO-214AC thermal resistance of 90°C/W.
Technical Context
The APD260VDTR-G1 integrates two independent Schottky junctions in a single DO-214AC surface-mount package, enabling dual-channel rectification without shared thermal or electrical coupling. Its guard-ring structure enhances ruggedness against voltage transients and mechanical stress.
Designed for high-frequency operation, it exhibits low junction capacitance (typ. 100 pF at 10 V, f = 1 MHz) and fast reverse recovery (inherently near-zero due to majority-carrier conduction), minimizing switching noise and EMI in SMPS and inverters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in DC-DC output rectification. |
| IF(AV) | 2.0 A - Average forward current rating at 0.375" lead length; supports continuous 2 A load in standard PCB layouts. |
| VF (max) | 0.68 V @ 2 A, +25°C - Low conduction loss enables >92% efficiency in 5–12 V output stages. |
| IR (max) | 0.5 mA @ 60 V, +25°C - Low leakage preserves efficiency in standby and light-load conditions. |
| IFSM | 50 A @ 8.3 ms half-sine - Withstands inrush and fault currents in power supply startup and overload events. |
| TJ Range | −65°C to +125°C - Enables deployment in industrial ambient environments without derating below 125°C. |
| RθJA | 90°C/W - Thermal resistance with recommended DO-214AC pad layout; informs heatsinking requirements for 2 A continuous operation. |
Pinout & Package
APD260VDTR-G1 uses the DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package: molded plastic case, matte tin-plated copper leadframe, halogen/antimony-free "Green" compound, UL 94V-0 rated. Cathode identified by band marking on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode 1 | Input terminal for first Schottky diode | Connects to switching node or input rail; accepts up to 2 A forward current. |
| Cathode | Common cathode connection for both diodes | Shared output node; must be routed with low-inductance trace for noise-sensitive applications. |
| Anode 2 | Input terminal for second Schottky diode | Enables dual independent rectification paths (e.g., synchronous buck + freewheeling). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage | 0.68 V max at 2 A ensures <0.3 W conduction loss per diode at full load, reducing thermal design burden. |
| Guard-ring protected junction | Improves ruggedness against ESD and line transients, supporting reliable operation in unregulated input rails. |
| High surge current rating | 50 A non-repetitive peak withstands 10× nominal current surges during startup or short-circuit recovery. |
| RoHS + "Green" compliance | Halogen- and antimony-free molding compound (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) meets IEC 61249-2-21 and JEDEC J-STD-020. |
Applications
| DC-DC Converters | Free-Wheeling Diodes |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side synchronous rectification in 5–12 V isolated flyback or forward converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-loss output rectifier replacing MOSFETs where gate drive complexity is undesirable. Use Value: 0.68 V VF reduces conduction loss by ~35% vs. standard silicon diodes, improving light-load efficiency. |
Use Scenario: Inductive load flyback path in motor drivers and solenoid controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling path clamping inductive kickback during PWM turn-off. Use Value: Near-zero reverse recovery eliminates switching spikes, reducing snubber size and EMI filter cost. |
| Polarity Protection | Low-Voltage Inverters |
|
Use Scenario: Reverse-voltage blocking at input of battery-powered embedded systems (e.g., 3.3 V/5 V IoT nodes). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-connected input protection diode preventing damage from incorrect battery insertion. Use Value: 0.68 V drop adds <2% voltage loss at 2 A-acceptable trade-off for robustness without active circuitry. |
Use Scenario: Output stage rectification in 24–48 V high-frequency inverters for solar microinverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed AC-to-DC conversion under 100 kHz switching with minimal switching loss. Use Value: 100 pF junction capacitance limits displacement current, preserving waveform fidelity at 50–100 kHz. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS26-E3/5AT (Vishay) | Same DO-214AC package, 60 V VRRM, but 0.75 V VF @ 2 A and 1.0 mA IR @ 60 V. | Higher VF increases conduction loss by ~100 mW at 2 A; less suitable for thermally constrained designs. | Prefer APD260VDTR-G1 when <0.7 V VF and <0.5 mA leakage are required at full rating. |
| SB260-TB (ON Semiconductor) | DO-214AA (SMB) package, same 60 V/2 A rating, 0.72 V VF @ 2 A, RθJA = 70°C/W. | Larger SMB footprint offers better thermal performance but occupies 30% more board area than DO-214AC. | Choose SB260-TB only if thermal margin is critical and PCB space permits larger package. |
Compared with SS26-E3/5AT and SB260-TB, APD260VDTR-G1 delivers the lowest VF and leakage in DO-214AC, making it optimal for compact, high-efficiency 2 A rectification where thermal and voltage-drop budgets are tight.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature and how does it affect layout?
The APD260VDTR-G1 has a rated TJ range of −65°C to +125°C. At 2 A continuous current, its 90°C/W thermal resistance requires a minimum recommended pad layout (5.6 mm × 2.1 mm copper area) to maintain TJ ≤ 125°C in still air. Oversizing the cathode pad improves heat spreading and allows sustained 2 A operation without forced cooling.
Is APD260VDTR-G1 truly dual-diode or common-cathode only?
APD260VDTR-G1 is a common-cathode dual Schottky rectifier: it contains two anodes (A1, A2) sharing one cathode terminal. This configuration supports independent input paths feeding a shared output rail-ideal for dual-input redundancy or complementary switching topologies like center-tapped rectifiers.
How does the guard-ring structure improve reliability?
The integrated guard-ring mitigates edge breakdown under high dv/dt or mechanical stress by redistributing electric field concentration away from the active junction periphery. This extends device lifetime in applications with repetitive voltage transients, such as automotive load-dump scenarios or industrial motor drive flyback events.
Can APD260VDTR-G1 replace standard silicon rectifiers in existing designs?
Yes-provided the 60 V VRRM and 2 A IF(AV) ratings meet system requirements. Its lower VF reduces conduction loss, but designers must verify that the higher IR (0.5 mA vs. <1 µA for silicon) does not impact standby current in ultra-low-power applications. No layout change is needed for DO-214AC footprints.
