Product details
Overview
V15PM153-M3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a high-current-density Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS®) rectifier in SMPC (TO-277A) package, rated for 15 A average forward current and 150 V reverse voltage, with ultra-low VF = 0.62 V at 15 A and 125 °C junction temperature, used in DC/DC converters and polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the V15PM153-M3/H datasheet, V15PM153-M3/H pinout, V15PM153-M3/H application, or V15PM153-M3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include its 175 °C max junction temperature, 220 A surge rating, low-profile 1.1 mm height, AEC-Q101 qualification option (HM3 suffix), and thermal resistance of 4 °C/W junction-to-mount on aluminum PCB.
Technical Context
This single-diode TMBS® rectifier uses trench MOS Schottky technology to achieve lower forward voltage and higher efficiency than planar Schottky or standard PN diodes. Its 885 pF junction capacitance at 4 V supports high-frequency switching up to several MHz in DC/DC topologies.
Designed for surface-mount use on aluminum PCBs or copper pads, it delivers 15 A average current with RθJM = 4 °C/W when mounted on 30 mm × 30 mm aluminum substrate, and meets MSL level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C peak reflow tolerance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 150 V - blocks up to 150 V reverse voltage without breakdown in freewheeling or polarity protection. |
| IF(AV) | 15.0 A - continuous DC output current capability at rated thermal conditions on aluminum PCB. |
| VF @ 15 A, 125 °C | 0.62 V - enables <1 W conduction loss at full load, critical for high-efficiency 12 V/48 V DC/DC stages. |
| IFSM | 220 A - withstands short-duration inrush or fault currents in automotive and industrial power supplies. |
| TJ(max) | 175 °C - supports operation in under-hood or enclosed industrial environments without derating. |
| CJ | 885 pF @ 4 V - limits switching losses and EMI in >100 kHz converter designs. |
| RθJM | 4 °C/W - enables direct thermal coupling to aluminum heatsink PCBs, reducing need for external heatsinks. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional energy return path during reactive load cycling. Use Value: Low CJ (885 pF) and fast soft-recovery behavior minimize switching noise and gate oscillation in 20–100 kHz inverters. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STPS15H100CG-TR | 100 V VRRM, 15 A IF(AV), 0.72 V VF @ 15 A/125 °C, TO-277 package | Limited to ≤100 V systems; higher VF increases conduction loss by ~0.3 W at 15 A | Select when 100 V rating suffices and cost is prioritized over thermal performance. |
| SS15150A | 150 V VRRM, 15 A IF(AV), 0.85 V VF @ 15 A/25 °C, SMA package, no AEC-Q101 option | Higher VF degrades efficiency; SMA lacks thermal pad and aluminum-mount capability | Use only in low-power, non-automotive, space-constrained layouts where thermal budget allows. |
Compared with STPS15H100CG-TR and SS15150A, the V15PM153-M3/H delivers superior thermal performance via RθJM = 4 °C/W and lower VF, enabling higher power density in aluminum-based power modules and automotive-grade reliability where HM3 variants are deployed.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the V15PM153-M3/H?
The V15PM153-M3/H has a maximum junction temperature (TJ(max)) of +175 °C, verified per datasheet revision 19-Nov-2020. This rating allows reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and enclosed industrial power supplies without additional heatsinking when mounted on aluminum PCBs. The V15PM153-M3/H maintains specified electrical characteristics up to this temperature limit.
Is the V15PM153-M3/H AEC-Q101 qualified?
No, the V15PM153-M3/H is the commercial-grade version with halogen-free and RoHS-compliant construction. The AEC-Q101 qualified variant is designated V15PM153HM3/H, which shares identical electrical and thermal specs but adds automotive stress testing compliance. The V15PM153-M3/H itself is not certified to AEC-Q101.
What does the "-M3/H" suffix indicate in V15PM153-M3/H?
The "-M3" suffix denotes Vishay's standard halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade packaging, while "/H" specifies 7-inch plastic tape-and-reel delivery with 1500 units per reel. This packaging format ensures compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place equipment and meets IPC/JEDEC handling standards for surface-mount assembly.
How does the V15PM153-M3/H compare to conventional Schottky diodes in forward voltage?
The V15PM153-M3/H achieves 0.62 V forward voltage at 15 A and 125 °C using trench MOS barrier technology-up to 0.2 V lower than comparable planar Schottky diodes at the same conditions. This reduction directly lowers conduction losses by ~1.5 W in 15 A applications, improving overall system efficiency and thermal margin. The V15PM153-M3/H data is measured and guaranteed per Vishay Document Number 87206.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to mount (RθJM) for the V15PM153-M3/H?
The V15PM153-M3/H has a typical junction-to-mount thermal resistance (RθJM) of 4 °C/W when mounted on a 30 mm × 30 mm aluminum PCB, as specified in the datasheet. This value reflects direct thermal conduction through the cathode pad to the metal substrate, enabling high-power operation without external heatsinks. The V15PM153-M3/H's low RθJM is enabled by its SMPC (TO-277A) package design with exposed cathode thermal pad.
