Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division V30K60-M3/H

Overview

V30K60-M3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a high-current-density Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS®) rectifier in FlatPAK 5×6 package, rated for 60 V reverse voltage and 30 A average forward current, with ultra-low 0.51 V forward voltage at 30 A and 125 °C junction temperature-used in low-voltage DC/DC converters and polarity protection circuits.

For engineers reviewing the V30K60-M3/H datasheet, V30K60-M3/H pinout, V30K60-M3/H application, or V30K60-M3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.3 V VF at 5 A (25 °C), AEC-Q101-qualified HM3 variant availability, J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 compliance, 75 °C/W RθJA, and flat surface-mount thermal performance on recommended copper pad area.

Technical Context

This TMBS® rectifier employs trench MOS Schottky technology to achieve lower forward voltage and reduced switching losses versus planar Schottky or fast recovery diodes. Its single-diode configuration supports unidirectional conduction in high-frequency power stages where efficiency and thermal management are critical.

Designed for operation up to 150 °C junction temperature, it delivers stable performance under transient surge conditions (240 A IFSM) and maintains low leakage (<80 mA at 60 V, 125 °C). The FlatPAK 5×6 package enables high power density with low thermal resistance to mount (RθJM = 2.5 °C/W).

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the V30K60-M3/H?

The V30K60-M3/H has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +150 °C, enabling reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and sealed industrial enclosures. This rating is validated per JEDEC standards and supported by its 2.5 °C/W junction-to-mount thermal resistance. Derating curves in the datasheet confirm usable current capacity down to -40 °C ambient. The V30K60-M3/H must be mounted on the recommended copper pad area to maintain thermal integrity at full load.

Does the V30K60-M3/H meet automotive qualification standards?

The V30K60-M3/H itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the functionally identical V30K60HM3/H variant carries full AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive applications. Both share identical electrical specifications, package dimensions, and thermal performance. If automotive production compliance is required, V30K60HM3/H should be selected-V30K60-M3/H remains suitable for industrial, computing, and commercial power systems where AEC-Q101 is not mandated.

What is the forward voltage drop of the V30K60-M3/H at 30 A and 125 °C?

The V30K60-M3/H exhibits a typical forward voltage (VF) of 0.51 V at 30 A and 125 °C junction temperature, with a maximum of 0.59 V under those conditions. This ultra-low VF is achieved via trench MOS Schottky technology and directly contributes to reduced conduction losses in high-current DC/DC outputs. At lower currents-such as 5 A and 25 °C-the VF drops to 0.41 V, further enhancing light-load efficiency. These values are measured per JEDEC test conditions and confirmed in the official Vishay datasheet for V30K60-M3/H.

How does the FlatPAK 5×6 package of the V30K60-M3/H improve thermal performance?

The FlatPAK 5×6 package of the V30K60-M3/H provides a low thermal resistance path via its 4-anode / 4-cathode terminal configuration, achieving RθJM = 2.5 °C/W to the PCB mount surface. Unlike leaded packages, its exposed copper die paddle and symmetric terminal layout enable efficient heat spreading into large copper pours. With RθJA = 75 °C/W in free air, the V30K60-M3/H sustains full 30 A current only with proper PCB thermal design-making it ideal for compact, high-power-density applications where traditional TO-277 or D2PAK packages would overheat.

Is the V30K60-M3/H halogen-free and RoHS-compliant?

Yes, the V30K60-M3/H is halogen-free and RoHS-compliant, as confirmed in Vishay's material declaration (Doc. #99912) and ordering information table. Its molding compound meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and its matte tin-plated terminals comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards. The "M3" suffix explicitly denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction-ensuring regulatory compliance for global electronics manufacturing without sacrificing electrical or thermal performance. This applies to all V30K60-M3/H units supplied by Aetrix Electronics.
