Product details
Overview
AR1PD-M3/85A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a surface-mount fast avalanche rectifier diode in the eSMP® Series, configured as a single discrete silicon rectifier with 200 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0 A average forward current (IF(AV)), and 140 ns reverse recovery time (trr). It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used as a freewheeling or output rectifier in automotive DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the AR1PD-M3/85A datasheet, AR1PD-M3/85A pinout, AR1PD-M3/85A application, or AR1PD-M3/85A equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.15 V forward voltage at 1.0 A and 125 °C, 1 μA reverse leakage at rated VRRM, SMP (DO-220AA) package compatibility with automated placement, and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity rating.
Technical Context
This device employs a glass-passivated pellet chip junction for stable fast-switching performance and low reverse current. Its avalanche capability supports non-repetitive energy handling up to 20 mJ at IAS = 1.0 A, enabling robust operation in inductive switching circuits.
The SMP (DO-220AA) package delivers low thermal resistance (RθJM = 15 °C/W) and a typical height of 1.0 mm, supporting high-density PCB layouts. It meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker test requirements and is halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and commercial-grade (M3 suffix).
Key Specifications

| IF(AV) | 1.0 A - Continuous average forward current under specified thermal conditions; determines power-handling capacity. |
| trr | 140 ns - Reverse recovery time at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; enables high-frequency switching efficiency. |
| VF | 1.15 V @ 1.0 A, 125 °C - Forward voltage drop at elevated temperature; directly impacts conduction loss and thermal design. |
| IR | 1 μA @ rated VRRM, 25 °C - Low reverse leakage ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance circuits. |
| EAS | 20 mJ - Non-repetitive avalanche energy rating; allows safe clamping during transient overvoltage events. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R02U | Same VRRM (200 V), but higher VF (1.3 V @ 1 A, 125 °C); trr = 150 ns; TO-277 package (larger footprint). | Less suitable for ultra-thin consumer adapters due to 1.9 mm height; acceptable in industrial SMPS with relaxed height constraints. | Select when legacy TO-277 layout exists and 10 ns slower recovery is acceptable. |
| SB120-E3/54 | Lower VRRM (20 V), Schottky architecture; zero Qrr; VF = 0.52 V @ 1 A; same DO-220AA package. | Not usable in 200 V blocking applications; limited to low-voltage (<30 V) outputs where ultra-low VF is critical. | Choose only for <30 V secondary-side rectification where minimizing conduction loss outweighs voltage rating needs. |
Compared with STTH1R02U and SB120-E3/54, AR1PD-M3/85A uniquely balances 200 V blocking, 140 ns speed, 1.0 mm height, and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it optimal for automotive and space-constrained industrial rectification where both voltage rating and reliability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for AR1PD-M3/85A?
The AR1PD-M3/85A has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of 175 °C, verified per Vishay Document Number 89289. This rating enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive applications and high-ambient industrial environments. The device maintains specified electrical characteristics up to this temperature, and thermal design must ensure junction temperature remains below 175 °C under worst-case power dissipation and ambient conditions. AR1PD-M3/85A's RθJM of 15 °C/W supports effective heat transfer to the PCB mount.
Is AR1PD-M3/85A suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, AR1PD-M3/85A is AEC-Q101 qualified, confirming compliance with stress tests for automotive electronic components including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock. Its 175 °C TJ max, MSL Level 1 rating, and halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction meet Tier-1 supplier requirements. AR1PD-M3/85A is commonly deployed in automotive DC-DC converters and body control modules where reliability under thermal and vibration stress is mandatory.
What does the "/85A" suffix indicate in AR1PD-M3/85A?
The "/85A" suffix denotes the packaging configuration: 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, with a base quantity of 10,000 units per reel. This differs from "/84A", which specifies a 7-inch reel with 3,000 units. Both share identical electrical and thermal specifications; the suffix solely identifies reel size and quantity for automated SMT placement logistics. AR1PD-M3/85A is fully compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment calibrated for DO-220AA devices.
How does the reverse recovery time of AR1PD-M3/85A compare to standard FR diodes?
AR1PD-M3/85A has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 140 ns under IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A conditions-significantly faster than standard FR107 (500 ns) or UF4007 (75 ns, but lower VRRM). This enables higher switching frequencies and reduced switching losses in buck and flyback topologies. AR1PD-M3/85A achieves this while maintaining 200 V VRRM, making it a balanced choice where both speed and voltage rating matter.
Does AR1PD-M3/85A require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes, AR1PD-M3/85A requires forward current derating above 25 °C ambient, per its maximum forward current derating curve (Fig. 1 in Vishay Doc. 89289). At 100 °C ambient, IF(AV) must be reduced to approximately 0.65 A for free-air operation. Derating depends on PCB copper area and thermal mounting; the device's RθJA of 132 °C/W assumes minimum recommended pad area. Proper thermal design is essential to maintain AR1PD-M3/85A within its 175 °C TJ limit across the full operating range.
