Product details
Overview
APD360VPL-E1 from Diodes Incorporated is a 60 V, 3 A dual Schottky barrier rectifier in DO-27 (L) package, optimized for high-frequency DC-DC converters and low-voltage inverters. It delivers 0.68 V forward voltage at 3 A and 0.5 mA reverse leakage at 25°C, operating from −65°C to +125°C with guard-ring stress protection.
For engineers reviewing the APD360VPL-E1 datasheet, APD360VPL-E1 pinout, APD360VPL-E1 application, or APD360VPL-E1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low VF for efficiency-critical power stages, surge rating of 80 A (8.3 ms), thermal resistance of 40°C/W (DO-27 L), and RoHS-compliant green packaging.
Technical Context
The APD360VPL-E1 integrates two independent Schottky diodes in a single DO-27 (L) molded plastic case, enabling compact dual-path rectification without shared junctions. Its low junction capacitance (≈40 pF at 4 V) and fast recovery support operation above 100 kHz in switch-mode topologies.
Designed for medium-voltage, high-frequency power conversion, it avoids minority-carrier storage delay and exhibits no reverse recovery charge-critical for minimizing switching noise and EMI in isolated DC-DC and flyback designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking capability; suitable for 48 V bus-derived supplies with margin. |
| IF(AV) | 3.0 A - Average forward current rating at 0.375″ lead length; defines continuous conduction limit in thermal design. |
| VF (max) | 0.68 V @ 3 A - Low conduction loss enables >92% efficiency in 5–12 V output converters. |
| IR (max) | 0.5 mA @ 25°C - Low leakage preserves light-load regulation and reduces standby power loss. |
| IFSM | 80 A @ 8.3 ms - Withstands inrush and transient surges common in automotive and industrial power-up sequences. |
| TJ Range | −65°C to +125°C - Enables deployment in under-hood, industrial control, and outdoor power equipment. |
Pinout & Package
APD360VPL-E1 uses the DO-27 (L) axial-leaded package: 19.5–20.5 mm body length, 6.0–7.0 mm diameter, 1.2–1.3 mm lead diameter, cathode identified by band marking. Thermal resistance is 40°C/W (junction-to-ambient, mounted on heatsink).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode 1 | Input terminal for first diode | Accepts positive input for half-wave or freewheeling path; electrically isolated from Anode 2. |
| Cathode 1 | Output terminal for first diode | Connects to load or common rail; marked by cathode band on package body. |
| Anode 2 | Input terminal for second diode | Enables dual independent rectification paths; no internal connection to Anode 1. |
| Cathode 2 | Output terminal for second diode | Provides separate output node; allows synchronous or split-rail configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VF Schottky architecture | 0.68 V @ 3 A reduces conduction loss by ≥40% vs. standard PN rectifiers at same current. |
| Guard-ring protected junction | Prevents edge breakdown under high dv/dt or mechanical stress, improving long-term reliability in noisy environments. |
| RoHS-compliant "Green" package | Halogen- and antimony-free molding compound (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) meets IEC 61249-2-21. |
| +125°C junction rating | Supports operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial settings without derating below 3 A. |
Applications
| Low Voltage High Frequency Inverters | DC-DC Converters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 24 V input to 12 V/5 V isolated outputs in solar microinverters and UPS systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual Schottky rectifier for secondary-side synchronous rectification and auxiliary bias winding demodulation. Use Value: 0.68 V VF minimizes heat generation in confined transformer bobbins; dual-diode layout simplifies PCB routing for push-pull outputs. | Use Scenario: Point-of-load (POL) converters in telecom baseband cards and server VRMs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output rectifier in 300 kHz–1 MHz buck converters delivering up to 3 A per rail. Use Value: Absence of reverse recovery eliminates switching spikes, reducing need for snubbers and easing EMI filter design. |
| Free Wheeling | Polarity Protection |
Use Scenario: Inductive load driving in motor control modules and solenoid drivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling path for back-EMF energy dissipation during MOSFET turn-off. Use Value: 80 A surge rating handles peak currents from 100 mH coils switched at 20 kHz; low VF prevents excessive voltage overshoot. | Use Scenario: Reverse-voltage protection on 5–24 V input rails for embedded controllers and sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-connected Schottky diode blocking reverse polarity while passing forward current. Use Value: 0.5 mA IR at 25°C ensures <1.2 mW standby loss; DO-27 (L) axial form factor fits legacy through-hole layouts. |

FAQ
Is APD360VPL-E1 still in active production?
No. Per Diodes Incorporated's official documentation (DS36968 Rev. 4, March 2018), APD360VPL-E1 is marked OBSOLETE – PART DISCONTINUED with no alternate part offered. Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy stock for continuity support but does not recommend new designs.
What is the difference between DO-27 and DO-27 (L) packages for APD360?
DO-27 (L) has an extended body length (19.5–20.5 mm vs. 25.4 mm minimum for standard DO-27) and slightly larger diameter (6.0–7.0 mm vs. 5.0–5.6 mm), providing improved thermal mass and mechanical stability. Both share identical electrical specs and pinout.
Can APD360VPL-E1 be used as a direct replacement for APD360VP-E1?
Yes-electrically identical-but mechanical fit differs: DO-27 (L) requires longer PCB hole spacing and greater board clearance than standard DO-27. Thermal performance is comparable (RθJA = 40°C/W for both), but mounting must accommodate the longer body.
Does APD360VPL-E1 meet halogen-free requirements?
Yes. It is certified "Green" per Diodes' definition: <900 ppm bromine, <900 ppm chlorine (≤1500 ppm total Br+Cl), and <1000 ppm antimony. This satisfies IPC-4101D and JEDEC J-STD-70B for halogen-free printed wiring boards.
