Product details
Overview
APD260VRTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual low-voltage Schottky barrier rectifier in DO-214AC 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 high-frequency DC-DC converters and free-wheeling applications requiring low switching loss and low noise.
For engineers reviewing the APD260VRTR-G1 datasheet, APD260VRTR-G1 pinout, APD260VRTR-G1 application, or APD260VRTR-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-214AC thermal resistance (90°C/W), and RoHS-compliant "Green" packaging with halogen/antimony-free molding compound.
Technical Context
The APD260VRTR-G1 integrates two independent Schottky diodes in a single DO-214AC surface-mount package, enabling compact dual-path rectification without shared cathode/anode nodes. Its low forward voltage and fast recovery (inherent to Schottky structure) minimize conduction and switching losses in high-frequency power stages.
Designed for medium-voltage operation up to 60 V, it supports continuous 2 A average forward current with 50 A surge capability under 8.3 ms half-sine conditions. The guard-ring structure enhances ruggedness against transient overstress, while the 90°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance requires careful PCB pad layout per Diodes' recommended footprint (5.6 mm × 2.1 mm).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in flyback or buck-boost topologies. |
| IF(AV) | 2.0 A - Average forward current rating at 0.375″ lead length; determines continuous power handling in DC-DC output stages. |
| VF (max) | 0.68 V @ 2 A, +25°C - Low conduction loss enables >92% efficiency in 5–12 V output converters at full load. |
| IR (max) | 0.5 mA @ 60 V, +25°C - Low leakage preserves efficiency in standby mode and reduces thermal drift in parallel configurations. |
| IFSM | 50 A @ 8.3 ms - Withstands inrush and fault currents in SMPS startup and short-circuit events without degradation. |
| TJ Range | –65°C to +125°C - Enables deployment in industrial ambient environments without derating below 2 A up to max junction temperature. |
Pinout & Package
APD260VRTR-G1 uses the DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package: molded plastic case, matte tin–annealed copper leadframe, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and moisture sensitivity level 1. Dimensions: 4.75 × 2.83 × 2.29 mm (L × W × H). Cathode identified by band marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode 1 | Input node for first diode | Connects to switching node (e.g., MOSFET drain) in synchronous rectifier or freewheeling path. |
| Cathode | Common cathode terminal | Shared output node for both diodes; ties to output rail or ground return in dual-path designs. |
| Anode 2 | Input node for second diode | Enables independent input routing-e.g., dual-phase output rectification or redundant protection paths. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage | 0.68 V @ 2 A ensures <1.4 W conduction loss per diode at full load, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| Guard-ring protected junction | Improves ruggedness against voltage transients and ESD events during board assembly and system operation. |
| RoHS-compliant "Green" package | DO-214AC meets EU RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU), contains <900 ppm Br/Cl and <1000 ppm Sb-suitable for eco-sensitive OEM programs. |
| High surge current rating | 50 A IFSM allows reliable operation during cold-start, load dump, or output short-circuit conditions without bond-wire failure. |
Applications
| Low Voltage High Frequency Inverters | DC-DC Converters |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: 24 V input to 5 V/3.3 V isolated DC-DC inverters operating at 300–500 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual Schottky rectifier providing synchronous output rectification on primary and secondary windings. Use Value: 0.68 V VF minimizes conduction loss across both paths, improving overall converter efficiency by ≥1.8% vs. standard PN diodes. |
Use Scenario: Point-of-load (POL) buck converters in telecom baseband cards with 12 V input and 1.8 V/25 A output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode in non-synchronous buck stage, clamping inductive kickback during high-side switch off-time. Use Value: Fast recovery and low IR reduce voltage overshoot and ringing, easing EMI filter design and lowering radiated emissions. |
| Free Wheeling | Polarity Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Motor driver H-bridge outputs where back-EMF must be safely recirculated during PWM decay. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional freewheeling path absorbing inductive energy when upper/lower FETs are off. Use Value: 50 A IFSM withstands peak motor stall currents; 125°C TJ rating maintains reliability under sustained thermal stress. |
Use Scenario: Input protection for USB-C PD adapters and industrial 24 V fieldbus interfaces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-polarity blocking diode placed in series with main power rail. Use Value: 0.5 mA IR at 60 V prevents >12 mW standby dissipation; DO-214AC footprint enables compact inline placement near connector. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS26-E3/57T (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 ~140 mW per diode at 2 A; less suitable for thermally constrained POL designs. | Select if legacy qualification or dual-source requirement exists; verify thermal margin with 90°C/W RθJA. |
| MBR260T3G (ON Semiconductor) | DO-214AC, 60 V, 2 A, but single-diode configuration; no common-cathode dual topology. | Requires two devices for dual-path use, increasing PCB area and BOM count; lacks integrated dual functionality. | Prefer only when discrete replacement of one diode is needed or when dual-anode/cathode routing is not required. |
Compared with SS26-E3/57T and MBR260T3G, APD260VRTR-G1 delivers lower VF and IR in a true dual-common-cathode configuration-enabling higher efficiency and smaller footprint in space-constrained, high-frequency power converters.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature and how does it affect thermal design?
The APD260VRTR-G1 has a maximum operating junction temperature of +125°C. Its 90°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (DO-214AC, standard pad) means that at 2 A and 0.68 V VF, ~1.36 W of power dissipation requires ≤32°C ambient rise to stay within limit. Use Diodes' recommended 5.6 mm × 2.1 mm copper pad with thermal vias to maintain reliability under continuous load.
Is APD260VRTR-G1 truly dual-diode or a single diode with two anodes?
Yes, APD260VRTR-G1 integrates two independent Schottky diodes sharing a common cathode terminal (cathode-banded pin), with separate anode terminals. This dual-common-cathode configuration enables simultaneous or independent rectification paths-e.g., dual-output DC-DC or active clamp snubbers-without internal coupling.
Does the "G1" suffix indicate halogen-free status, and is it verified per JEDEC standards?
Yes, the "G1" suffix denotes Diodes Incorporated's "Green" qualification: halogen- and antimony-free per JESD22-A112, with Br+Cl <1500 ppm and Sb <1000 ppm. This is confirmed in DS36970 Rev. 4–2, Note 3, and aligns with IPC-4101D/122 requirements for environmentally compliant PCB assembly.
Can APD260VRTR-G1 replace DO-41 or DO-15 variants in existing designs?
No direct drop-in replacement: APD260VRTR-G1 uses DO-214AC (SMA), while DO-41 and DO-15 are through-hole packages with different footprints, thermal paths, and mechanical mounting. Board redesign is required. However, electrical specs (60 V, 2 A, 0.68 V VF) are identical across all three packages per the same datasheet.
