Product details
Overview
APD260VG-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual low-voltage Schottky barrier rectifier in DO-15 package, rated for 60 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 2 A average forward current, and 0.68 V maximum forward voltage at +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 APD260VG-G1 datasheet, APD260VG-G1 pinout, APD260VG-G1 application, or APD260VG-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 APD260VG-G1 integrates two independent Schottky junctions in a single DO-15 package, enabling dual-channel low-loss rectification without series/parallel coupling constraints. Its low VF and fast switching response stem from platinum-silicide or similar low-barrier metallization, minimizing conduction and recovery losses in high-frequency power stages.
Designed for operation up to +125°C junction temperature, it uses a guard-ring structure to suppress edge breakdown under transient overvoltage. Thermal resistance (RθJA) is 52°C/W when mounted with standard 0.375" lead length, supporting stable performance in compact, unheatsinked layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking capability without avalanche breakdown |
| IF(AV) | 2.0 A - Continuous average forward current under resistive/inductive load with 0.375" leads |
| VF (MAX) | 0.68 V @ 2 A, +25°C - Low conduction loss enabling >90% efficiency in 3.3–12 V DC-DC outputs |
| IR (MAX) | 0.5 mA @ 60 V, +25°C - Minimal leakage preserving standby power integrity in battery-backed systems |
| TJ Range | −65°C to +125°C - Enables deployment in industrial ambient environments without derating below 2 A |
| IFSM | 50 A @ 8.3 ms half-sine - Withstands typical inrush and fault currents in SMPS primary-side snubbers |
| RθJA | 52°C/W - Predictable thermal rise on standard PCB layout, no heatsink required for ≤1 W dissipation |
Pinout & Package
APD260VG-G1 is housed in a DO-15 axial-leaded plastic package with cathode band marking. The device contains two isolated Schottky die sharing a common cathode configuration (dual-cathode, single-anode per diode), though internal topology is not accessible externally - only two terminals are brought out: Anode and Cathode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point for each diode | Connected to positive rail or switch node; must withstand 50 A surge during turn-off |
| Cathode | Common return path for both diodes | Marked with band; ties to ground or negative rail; carries full 2 A average current per channel |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage | 0.68 V @ 2 A ensures <1.4 W conduction loss at full load, reducing thermal burden in space-constrained converters |
| Guard-ring protected junction | Prevents premature edge breakdown under dv/dt stress, improving reliability in flyback and LLC resonant topologies |
| +125°C operating junction temperature | Supports uninterrupted operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial settings without forced air |
| RoHS-compliant & "Green" packaging | DO-15 case uses halogen- and antimony-free molding compound (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb), meeting IEC 61249-2-21 |
Applications
| DC-DC Converters | Free-Wheeling Diodes |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side synchronous rectification replacement in 5–12 V isolated buck-derived supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive rectifier providing unidirectional current path during MOSFET off-time. Use Value: 0.68 V VF reduces output loss by ~180 mW vs. silicon diodes, improving light-load efficiency by 2–3%. | Use Scenario: Inductor current recirculation path in non-isolated buck regulators driving motors or solenoids. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling element clamping inductive kickback during high-side switch turn-off. Use Value: Fast recovery and low noise minimize EMI generation, easing EMC filter design in automotive body control modules. |
| Low-Voltage Inverters | Polarity Protection |
Use Scenario: Output stage rectification in 24 V solar micro-inverters converting DC to 50/60 Hz AC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-frequency bridge arm diode handling bidirectional switching at kHz-level frequencies. Use Value: 50 A IFSM rating supports surge tolerance during grid synchronization transients without derating. | Use Scenario: Reverse-voltage blocking at input of 3.3 V or 5 V embedded controllers powered via barrel jack or USB. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input protection diode placed in series with supply rail to prevent damage from misconnected adapters. Use Value: 0.5 mA IR at 60 V ensures <1.5 μW standby leakage, preserving battery life in always-on IoT nodes. |
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 TO-220AC package; VF = 0.85 V @ 2 A; RθJA = 25°C/W | Requires heatsinking above 1.2 A; unsuitable for axial-leaded board layouts | Select when higher surge robustness and thermal margin are prioritized over board space |
| SS26-E3/57T | DO-214AA package; VF = 0.75 V @ 2 A; IR = 0.2 mA @ 60 V; lower capacitance | Better leakage performance but higher VF increases conduction loss by 140 mW at full load | Select when ultra-low IR dominates over efficiency in battery cutoff circuits |
Compared with SB260-E3/54 and SS26-E3/57T, APD260VG-G1 delivers optimal balance of low VF, axial DO-15 form factor, and green compliance-making it preferred for cost-sensitive, space-constrained DC-DC and inverter designs where thermal mass is limited.

FAQ
What is the cathode marking convention for APD260VG-G1?
The DO-15 package features a visible cathode band near one end of the body, aligned with the cathode terminal. When viewed from the top with leads pointing downward, the banded end corresponds to the cathode pin. This marking is consistent across all APD260 variants and matches JEDEC DO-15 standards.
Can APD260VG-G1 be used in parallel for higher current handling?
No - APD260VG-G1 is not characterized or recommended for parallel operation. Its VF mismatch across units and lack of integrated current-sharing features risk thermal runaway. For >2 A requirements, select a single higher-rated part such as APD360VG-G1 (3 A) or use active synchronous rectification.
Is APD260VG-G1 suitable for automotive applications?
APD260VG-G1 meets AEC-Q200 stress test requirements for passive components when qualified per Diodes' automotive-grade variants (e.g., APD260VGQ-G1). The standard APD260VG-G1 is rated for −65°C to +125°C TJ and RoHS-compliant, but lacks PPAP documentation and automotive-specific qualification - use only in non-safety-critical aftermarket or industrial-adjacent systems.
What is the maximum PCB pad size recommendation for DO-15 mounting?
Per Diodes' package outline DS36970 Rev. 4-2, the DO-15 footprint should maintain ≥2.6 mm (0.102") minimum pad width and ≥7.6 mm (0.299") pad length to accommodate lead diameter and ensure mechanical retention. Avoid oversized pads that increase thermal spreading beyond the 52°C/W RθJA baseline.
