Product details
Overview
APD260VGTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual anode, single cathode 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 2 A and +25°C. It operates from –65°C to +125°C junction temperature and is optimized for DC-DC converters and high-frequency inverters requiring low switching loss and low noise.
For engineers reviewing the APD260VGTR-G1 datasheet, APD260VGTR-G1 pinout, APD260VGTR-G1 application, or APD260VGTR-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.68 V VF at 2 A, 0.5 mA IR at 60 V, 50 A non-repetitive surge rating, DO-15 mechanical compatibility, and RoHS-compliant "Green" construction with halogen/antimony-free molding compound.
Technical Context
The APD260VGTR-G1 implements a dual-anode Schottky structure with common cathode, enabling shared return path in buck or synchronous rectifier topologies. Its low VF and fast recovery (inherent to Schottky) minimize conduction and switching losses in medium-voltage, high-frequency power conversion stages.
Thermal resistance is 52°C/W (RθJA, DO-15), and it features guard-ring protection for mechanical stress immunity. The device supports 100% lead-free matte tin plating over copper leadframe and meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking capability without breakdown; suitable for 48 V bus-derived converters. |
| IF(AV) | 2.0 A - Continuous average forward current at 0.375″ lead length; defines thermal design margin under resistive/inductive loads. |
| VF (MAX) | 0.68 V @ 2 A, +25°C - Low conduction loss enables >92% efficiency in 5–12 V output DC-DC stages. |
| IR (MAX) | 0.5 mA @ 60 V, +25°C - Low leakage preserves standby power in always-on circuits and reduces thermal runaway risk. |
| IFSM | 50 A @ 8.3 ms half-sine - Withstands startup surges and transient overloads in SMPS without bond-wire fusing. |
| TJ Range | –65°C to +125°C - Enables operation in industrial ambient environments without derating below full IF(AV). |
Pinout & Package
APD260VGTR-G1 uses the DO-15 axial-leaded package: cylindrical molded plastic body (2.6–3.6 mm diameter × 5.8–7.6 mm length), matte tin-plated copper leads, cathode identified by band marking. Weight ≈ 0.39 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode 1 | Input terminal for first diode path | Accepts positive input in dual-input configurations (e.g., OR-ing, dual-rail rectification). |
| Anode 2 | Input terminal for second diode path | Enables independent sourcing from two inputs sharing one cathode return (e.g., redundant supply paths). |
| Cathode | Common output node | Single low-impedance return path for both anodes; simplifies PCB layout and reduces ground loop area. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage | 0.68 V max at 2 A ensures <1.4 W conduction loss per diode at full load-critical for thermally constrained designs. |
| Guard-ring protected junction | Prevents edge breakdown under mechanical stress or voltage transients, improving long-term reliability in vibration-prone systems. |
| High surge current rating | 50 A IFSM allows robust handling of inrush currents during hot-swap or cold-start events without degradation. |
| RoHS & "Green" compliant | Halogen- and antimony-free (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb); satisfies EU Directive 2015/863/EU and automotive ELV requirements. |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Rectification | Redundant Power Supply OR-ing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in isolated 5–12 V flyback or forward converters operating at 100–500 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-anode Schottky rectifier providing low-loss, fast-recovery unidirectional current flow from transformer secondary to output capacitor. Use Value: 0.68 V VF reduces conduction loss by ~35% vs. standard PN diodes, directly improving light-load efficiency and easing thermal management. |
Use Scenario: Combining two independent 12 V DC supplies (e.g., main + backup) into a single load rail with automatic failover. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-anode configuration allows each supply to drive the shared cathode output while blocking reverse current from the inactive source. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete MOSFET-based ideal diodes; reduces BOM count and layout area while maintaining <100 ns reverse recovery. |
| High-Frequency Inverter Freewheeling | Polarity Protection in 24 V Industrial Inputs |
Use Scenario: Freewheeling path across inductive loads (e.g., solenoids, motors) in 20–100 kHz H-bridge inverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-loss, zero-recovery-path for inductive kickback current during PWM off-time. Use Value: 50 A IFSM withstands peak inductive spikes; 0.5 mA IR minimizes standby drain in battery-powered inverters. |
Use Scenario: Reverse-polarity protection on 24 V DC input terminals of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Anode-to-input, cathode-to-load configuration blocks reverse connection while passing forward current with minimal drop. Use Value: 0.68 V VF limits input voltage drop to <2.7% at 2 A-preserving headroom for downstream LDOs or regulators. |
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 (Vishay) | Same DO-15 package, 60 V VRRM, 2 A IF(AV), but VF = 0.85 V @ 2 A - 25% higher conduction loss. | Higher VF increases thermal load in compact enclosures; less suitable for >75°C ambient or sealed housings. | Select when legacy qualification or Vishay-specific supply chain alignment is required; verify thermal margin. |
| SS26 (ON Semiconductor) | DO-214AC package (SMA), 60 V, 2 A, VF = 0.75 V @ 2 A; surface-mount only; RθJA = 90°C/W - 73% higher thermal resistance than DO-15. | Requires PCB real estate for SMT pads and thermal relief; unsuitable for through-hole legacy boards or high-power density axial layouts. | Choose for automated assembly or space-constrained PCBs where axial leads are impractical; add thermal vias. |
Compared with SB260-E3/54 and SS26, APD260VGTR-G1 delivers the lowest VF (0.68 V) in axial DO-15 form factor, offering superior thermal performance (52°C/W) and lower conduction loss-making it optimal for thermally sensitive, high-efficiency through-hole power designs.

FAQ
What is the cathode identification method on APD260VGTR-G1?
The cathode is marked by a distinct band on the DO-15 package body, located near one end of the cylindrical case. This band aligns with the cathode terminal (common output pin) in the dual-anode configuration. Visual inspection confirms orientation before soldering, and the band remains visible after mounting.
Can APD260VGTR-G1 be used in parallel for higher current?
No-parallel operation is not recommended due to mismatched forward voltage characteristics between units, which causes current imbalance and potential thermal runaway. For >2 A applications, select a single higher-rated Schottky (e.g., APD360) or redesign using active synchronous rectification.
Is APD260VGTR-G1 suitable for automotive under-hood use?
It meets the –65°C to +125°C junction temperature range required for many automotive applications, and its "Green" halogen-free construction complies with major OEM material declarations. However, it is not AEC-Q101 qualified; use only in non-safety-critical, non-engine-compartment locations unless validated per customer qualification protocol.
What is the maximum allowable lead temperature during soldering?
The device supports lead-free reflow per J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to 260°C for ≤10 seconds. For hand soldering, limit iron tip temperature to 350°C and contact time to <3 seconds per lead to avoid internal delamination or junction damage.
