Product details
Overview
V20PW60HM3/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a high-current-density Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS®) rectifier in SlimDPAK (TO-252AE) package, rated for 20 A average forward current, 60 V reverse voltage, and 200 A surge capability. It delivers ultra-low forward voltage (0.54 V at 20 A, 125 °C), enabling high-efficiency operation in low-voltage DC/DC converters and polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the V20PW60HM3/I datasheet, V20PW60HM3/I pinout, V20PW60HM3/I application, or V20PW60HM3/I equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 1.3 mm profile, J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 rating, and thermal resistance of 55 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) on standard FR4 PCB.
Technical Context
This device uses trench MOS barrier Schottky technology to achieve lower VF and higher current density than planar Schottky diodes. Its single-die configuration supports unidirectional conduction with minimal reverse recovery charge, making it suitable for high-frequency switching topologies where conduction loss dominates.
The SlimDPAK (TO-252AE) package integrates a thermally enhanced exposed drain pad and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. It meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance and UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| V20PW60-M3/I | Same die, identical electrical specs; not AEC-Q101 qualified; base P/N-M3 suffix | Targeted at industrial/commercial applications without automotive qualification requirements | Select when AEC-Q101 is not mandated and cost optimization is prioritized |
| SS20100CT | Dual common-cathode configuration; 100 V VRRM; 2 × 10 A rating; TO-220AC package; higher VF (0.75 V @ 10 A) | Suitable for dual-rail outputs or higher-voltage 100 V systems; requires through-hole mounting and heatsinking | Choose only if dual-diode topology or 100 V rating is required; not drop-in compatible |
Compared with V20PW60HM3/I, V20PW60-M3/I offers identical performance at lower cost but lacks automotive qualification, while SS20100CT provides higher voltage rating and dual functionality at the expense of footprint, thermal performance, and forward loss.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for V20PW60HM3/I?
The V20PW60HM3/I has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +150 °C, validated per AEC-Q101 stress testing. This allows reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial applications when thermal design adheres to the specified RθJA = 55 °C/W on recommended copper pad areas. Derating curves in the V20PW60HM3/I datasheet confirm usable current down to -40 °C ambient.
Is V20PW60HM3/I pin-compatible with V20PW60-M3/I?
Yes, V20PW60HM3/I and V20PW60-M3/I share identical SlimDPAK (TO-252AE) mechanical dimensions, pinout, and thermal pad layout. The only difference is qualification status: V20PW60HM3/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, while V20PW60-M3/I is not. No PCB changes are required when substituting between these two variants, provided automotive qualification is not mandatory for the application.
What does the "HM3" suffix indicate in V20PW60HM3/I?
The "HM3" suffix in V20PW60HM3/I denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with full AEC-Q101 qualification. It distinguishes this variant from the commercial-grade "M3" version (e.g., V20PW60-M3/I), confirming compliance with automotive reliability standards including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and electrostatic discharge (ESD) per JESD22-A114.
Can V20PW60HM3/I be used in synchronous rectification designs?
No, V20PW60HM3/I is a passive Schottky rectifier and cannot replace a controlled MOSFET in synchronous rectification. It functions as a freewheeling or polarity protection diode only. For synchronous designs, a gate-driven N-channel MOSFET with matching voltage/current ratings and appropriate driver circuitry is required. The V20PW60HM3/I's low VF makes it ideal as a benchmark for evaluating synchronous FET conduction loss trade-offs.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RθJA) for V20PW60HM3/I under standard conditions?
The V20PW60HM3/I has a typical RθJA of 55 °C/W when mounted on a standard FR4 PCB with the recommended copper pad area (≥7 cm²). This value assumes free-air convection and is defined per JEDEC test board conditions. Actual RθJA will improve with larger copper pours or heatsink attachment to the exposed drain pad (Pin 2), as shown in Figure 7 of the V20PW60HM3/I datasheet.
