Product details
Overview
APD360VP-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual anode, single cathode Schottky barrier rectifier in DO-27 package, rated for 60 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and 3 A average forward current, with 0.68 V max forward voltage at 3 A and 0.5 mA max reverse leakage at +25°C. It serves as a low-loss freewheeling or polarity protection diode in high-frequency DC-DC converters and low-voltage inverters.
For engineers reviewing the APD360VP-G1 datasheet, APD360VP-G1 pinout, APD360VP-G1 application, or APD360VP-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60 V VRRM, 3 A IF(AV), 0.68 V VF @ 3 A, +125°C junction rating, and DO-27 green (halogen/antimony-free) packaging - critical for compact, thermally constrained power stage designs.
Technical Context
The APD360VP-G1 integrates two Schottky anodes sharing one common cathode in a single DO-27 axial leaded package, enabling dual-path rectification or independent low-VF switching in half-bridge or synchronous buck auxiliary paths. Its guard-ring structure enhances ruggedness against transient overvoltage stress.
Designed for operation up to +125°C junction temperature, it delivers stable 0.68 V forward drop at 3 A with only 0.5 mA reverse leakage at 25°C - optimized for high-efficiency, high-frequency (>100 kHz) power conversion where conduction loss and thermal management dominate design trade-offs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - supports input rails up to 48 V nominal with 20% margin for transient spikes in industrial DC-DC stages. |
| IF(AV) | 3 A - enables continuous output current handling in 12–24 V output converters without forced air cooling. |
| VF (max) | 0.68 V @ 3 A - reduces conduction loss to ≤2.04 W per diode, lowering thermal load in space-constrained layouts. |
| IR (max) | 0.5 mA @ 25°C - ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on polarity protection circuits. |
| TJ | −65°C to +125°C - allows deployment in automotive under-hood or industrial ambient environments without derating. |
| RθJA | 40°C/W (DO-27) - requires ≥150 mm² copper pour for natural convection cooling at full 3 A load. |
Pinout & Package
APD360VP-G1 uses the DO-27 axial-leaded package (1.2 g, 9.5 mm lead length), with cathode identified by a band marking on the body. The device has two anode terminals (A1, A2) and one shared cathode (K) - configured as a dual-anode, single-cathode Schottky rectifier.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode 1 (Lead 1) | First Schottky anode | Connects to first switching node (e.g., half-bridge high-side source or buck converter switch node). |
| Anode 2 (Lead 2) | Second Schottky anode | Connects to second independent switching node (e.g., synchronous rectifier path or redundant polarity clamp). |
| Cathode (Banded End) | Common cathode | Terminates both anodes to output rail or ground return; must be routed with low-inductance layout for EMI control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage | 0.68 V max @ 3 A - cuts conduction loss by ~30% vs. standard silicon rectifiers, improving efficiency in 12–24 V systems. |
| Guard-ring protected junction | Enhanced ruggedness against dv/dt-induced avalanche - sustains 80 A non-repetitive surge without failure in flyback snubber paths. |
| +125°C operating junction | Enables use in sealed enclosures or near heat sources without thermal throttling, supporting industrial-grade reliability. |
| Green (halogen/antimony-free) packaging | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 1 - compliant with global environmental directives for end-of-life recycling. |
Applications
| Low Voltage High Frequency Inverters | DC-DC Converters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 24 V input to 400 V boost stage in solar microinverters operating at 150 kHz switching frequency. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-anode configuration provides independent freewheeling paths for interleaved boost phases, reducing ripple current stress. Use Value: 0.68 V VF limits conduction loss to <2.1 W per phase, enabling passive cooling in outdoor-rated enclosures. |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side synchronous rectification in isolated 48 V to 12 V telecom DC-DC modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as low-loss clamp diode across transformer secondary, recovering leakage energy during dead time. Use Value: 0.5 mA IR at 25°C minimizes no-load power draw, supporting Energy Star Level VI standby compliance. |
| Free Wheeling | Polarity Protection |
Use Scenario: Inductive load driver in programmable logic controller (PLC) output modules driving 24 V solenoids. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides bidirectional clamping path for back-EMF suppression during turn-off transients. Use Value: 80 A IFSM withstands repeated 50 ms inductive kick events without degradation over 10-year field life. |
Use Scenario: Reverse-voltage protection on 5 V/3.3 V power rails feeding FPGA I/O banks in test equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Placed in series with supply input; blocks reverse current while adding <0.7 V dropout under normal operation. Use Value: 60 V VRRM accommodates 12 V system-level testing margins, preventing latch-up during hot-swap events. |

FAQ
Is APD360VP-G1 still in active production?
No - APD360VP-G1 is officially obsolete and discontinued by Diodes Incorporated, with no alternate part offered. Aetrix Electronics holds remaining legacy stock for last-time buy and repair fulfillment. No new manufacturing runs are planned, and long-term supply cannot be guaranteed beyond current inventory levels.
What is the difference between APD360VP-G1 and APD360VP-E1?
Both share identical electrical specs and DO-27 package, but APD360VP-G1 uses halogen- and antimony-free "Green" molding compound and matte tin annealed leads, meeting stricter environmental requirements than APD360VP-E1's standard Pb-free finish. Marking ID differs: "360VPG" vs. "D360VP".
Can APD360VP-G1 replace a single-anode Schottky like SB360?
No - APD360VP-G1 is a dual-anode, single-cathode device; replacing a single-anode diode requires external wiring to use only one anode path, leaving the second anode unconnected or tied to cathode. This introduces parasitic inductance and violates recommended layout practices for high-frequency operation.
What thermal pad area is required for full 3 A operation?
With RθJA = 40°C/W and maximum TJ = +125°C at TA = +70°C, allowable power dissipation is 1.375 W. At 0.68 V × 3 A = 2.04 W, full-load operation requires ≥250 mm² of 2-oz copper on FR-4 with thermal vias - or derating to ≤2.0 A with standard 150 mm² pad area.
