Product details
Overview
APD340VPTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual common-cathode Schottky barrier rectifier rated for 40 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 3 A average forward current, and 0.5 V maximum forward voltage at 3 A and +25°C. It operates from −50°C to +125°C junction temperature and is optimized for high-frequency DC-DC converters and low-voltage inverters requiring low switching loss and minimal noise.
For engineers reviewing the APD340VPTR-G1 datasheet, APD340VPTR-G1 pinout, APD340VPTR-G1 application, or APD340VPTR-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-214AC package thermal resistance (75 °C/W), 80 A non-repetitive surge rating, guard-ring stress protection, and RoHS-compliant green packaging with matte tin terminals.
Technical Context
The APD340VPTR-G1 integrates two Schottky diodes in a single DO-214AC surface-mount package with shared cathode configuration. Its low VF (0.5 V @ 3 A) and low IR (0.5 mA @ 40 V, +25°C) minimize conduction loss and leakage in high-efficiency power stages.
Designed for medium-voltage, high-frequency operation, it delivers stable performance up to +125°C junction temperature and supports fast transient response due to low junction capacitance (typ. <100 pF @ 4 V). The guard-ring structure enhances ruggedness against voltage transients and mechanical stress.
Key Specifications

| VRRM | 40 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking capability without breakdown |
| IF(AV) | 3.0 A - Continuous average forward current per diode under defined thermal conditions |
| VF (max) | 0.5 V @ 3 A, +25°C - Low conduction loss enabling >90% efficiency in compact DC-DC topologies |
| IR (max) | 0.5 mA @ 40 V, +25°C - Minimal leakage preserving standby power integrity |
| IFS M | 80 A @ 8.3 ms half-sine - Withstands inrush and fault currents in SMPS output stages |

| TJ range | −50°C to +125°C - Enables deployment in industrial and automotive ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
APD340VPTR-G1 is housed in a DO-214AC (SMC) plastic surface-mount package with cathode-marked top-side orientation and matte tin-plated copper leadframe. Dimensions: 4.75 × 2.83 × 2.29 mm (L × W × H).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode 1 | Input terminal for first Schottky diode | Accepts forward current into cathode node; used for independent power path routing |
| Anode 2 | Input terminal for second Schottky diode | Enables dual-output or phase-split rectification without discrete device pairing |
| Cathode (common) | Shared output node for both diodes | Reduces PCB trace count and parasitic inductance in synchronous buck or center-tapped configurations |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Guard-ring protected junction | Improves reliability under voltage overshoot and mechanical stress in high-density layouts |
| +125°C operating junction temperature | Supports operation in enclosed industrial enclosures without forced air cooling |
| Pb-free & halogen-free "Green" package | DO-214AC meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1 |
Applications
| DC-DC Converters | Low-Voltage Inverters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side synchronous rectification in isolated 12 V → 3.3 V/5 V buck-derived converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual Schottky rectifier replacing MOSFETs in cost-sensitive designs where gate drive complexity must be avoided. Use Value: 0.5 V VF reduces conduction loss by ~40% vs. standard silicon diodes, improving light-load efficiency. | Use Scenario: High-frequency AC inversion in portable UPS and solar micro-inverters (20–100 kHz). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output bridge freewheeling and polarity protection element in half-bridge topologies. Use Value: Low noise and fast recovery (<10 ns) suppress EMI generation during switching transitions. |
| Free-Wheeling Diodes | Polarity Protection |
Use Scenario: Inductive load flyback suppression in 24 V industrial motor drivers and solenoid controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamping path for back-EMF energy dissipation during MOSFET turn-off. Use Value: 80 A IFSM rating handles repeated inductive kick without degradation over 10⁵ cycles. | Use Scenario: Reverse-voltage protection on 5–12 V input rails of embedded controllers and IoT sensor nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-cathode dual diode configured as OR-ing or input polarity selector. Use Value: Shared cathode simplifies PCB routing and eliminates need for two discrete packages, saving >2.5 mm² board area. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS34 (Vishay) | Single diode, same VRRM/IF but higher VF (0.55 V), no guard ring | Lacks dual-diode integration; requires two devices for common-cathode function | Select when only one rectifier path is needed and board space allows discrete placement |
| MBR340 (ON Semiconductor) | Same dual-common-cathode topology, but VF = 0.52 V, TJ max = +125°C, no green compliance | RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free; slightly higher conduction loss | Prefer when legacy qualification or existing BOM alignment outweighs green packaging requirements |
Compared with SS34 and MBR340, APD340VPTR-G1 uniquely combines dual-diode integration, 0.5 V VF, guard-ring ruggedness, and full halogen/antimony-free green compliance-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability, and environmentally regulated industrial power designs.

FAQ
What is the cathode marking convention for APD340VPTR-G1?
The DO-214AC package features a green cathode band on the top surface adjacent to the common cathode terminal. Pin 1 (Anode 1) and Pin 2 (Anode 2) are unmarked; the banded end identifies the shared cathode (Pin 3), confirmed in Diodes' DS36969 Rev. 3-2 Figure 1 (Top View).
Can APD340VPTR-G1 replace a single 3 A Schottky diode in a design?
Yes, but only one anode should be used with the common cathode; the unused anode must be left floating or tied to cathode if required for layout symmetry. Derating applies: total IF(AV) remains 3 A per diode, not 6 A combined, as both share thermal mass and junction.
Is APD340VPTR-G1 suitable for automotive applications?
It meets AEC-Q200 stress test recommendations for temperature cycling and humidity exposure, but is not AEC-Q101 qualified. It is approved for under-hood industrial use up to +125°C ambient, and commonly deployed in automotive accessory power modules where formal qualification is not mandated.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for thermal performance?
Per Diodes' DS36969 Rev. 3-2 page 6, use a minimum pad layout with X = 5.60 mm, Y = 2.10 mm, G = 1.60 mm, and X1 = 2.00 mm. Copper pour connected to cathode pad improves heat spreading; RθJA drops to ≤65 °C/W with 1-in² 2-oz copper.
