Product details
Overview
V30KM120HM3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a high-current-density Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS®) rectifier in FlatPAK 5 × 6 package, rated for 120 V reverse voltage and 30 A average forward current. It delivers ultra-low forward voltage (0.43 V at 5 A, 125 °C), enabling high-efficiency operation in low-voltage DC/DC converters and polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the V30KM120HM3/H datasheet, V30KM120HM3/H pinout, V30KM120HM3/H application, or V30KM120HM3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 165 °C max junction temperature, 240 A surge rating, and thermal resistance of 2.5 °C/W (junction-to-mount) with infinite heatsink.
Technical Context
This device uses trench MOS Schottky technology to achieve lower VF and higher current density than planar Schottky diodes. Its single-diode configuration and matte tin-plated FlatPAK 5 × 6 terminals support high-reliability soldering per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
The V30KM120HM3/H is halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and qualified to AEC-Q101 - confirmed by the HM3 suffix. Its junction capacitance is 2500 pF at 4.0 V / 1 MHz, and reverse leakage remains ≤7 mA at 120 V and 125 °C.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Automotive DC/DC Converters | Industrial Power Supplies |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 12 V → 5 V/3.3 V buck converter in engine control units (ECUs) and ADAS modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode in synchronous rectification topology, operating continuously at 125 °C ambient. Use Value: 0.43 V VF reduces conduction loss by ~0.8 W vs. standard Schottky at 5 A, lowering thermal stress on PCB. | Use Scenario: Output rectification in 48 V telecom and server PSUs with high efficiency targets (>94 %). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary output rectifier handling 20–30 A DC load with minimal voltage drop. Use Value: 30 A IF(AV) and 240 A IFSM support high-power density designs without paralleling devices. |
| Polarity Protection Circuits | Low-Voltage Freewheeling |
Use Scenario: Reverse-voltage protection at battery inputs of portable medical devices and industrial sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-connected blocking diode preventing damage during incorrect battery insertion. Use Value: 120 V VRRM provides margin against load-dump transients; low VF avoids unnecessary voltage drop in 5–24 V systems. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path for inductive loads (e.g., solenoids, relays) in motor drive gate drivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast recovery path for stored inductor energy, minimizing voltage spikes. Use Value: Low junction capacitance (2500 pF) limits reverse recovery charge, reducing EMI and snubber losses. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| V30KM120-M3/H | No AEC-Q101 qualification; same electrical specs and package | Not suitable for automotive production; acceptable for industrial/commercial use | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and cost optimization is prioritized |
| STPS30H12CG | TO-277A package; 30 A/120 V; VF = 0.69 V @ 30 A/125 °C; no AEC-Q101 | Higher thermal resistance (RθJA ≈ 40 °C/W); less suited for compact layouts | Choose only if legacy TO-277A footprint must be retained; expect higher board-level heating |
Compared with V30KM120-M3/H and STPS30H12CG, the V30KM120HM3/H uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, ultra-low 0.43 V forward drop at elevated temperature, and FlatPAK's superior thermal resistance - making it the preferred choice for space-constrained, high-reliability automotive power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the V30KM120HM3/H?
The V30KM120HM3/H has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +165 °C, verified per datasheet revision 16-Jul-2025. This rating enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial settings. Derating curves in Figure 1 confirm usable current capacity down to -40 °C ambient, with thermal resistance RθJM = 2.5 °C/W when mounted on an infinite heatsink.
Is the V30KM120HM3/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the V30KM120HM3/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet (Document Number 87144) and indicated by the "HM3" suffix. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing - confirming suitability for automotive powertrain and body electronics.
What does the "HM3" suffix mean in V30KM120HM3/H?
The "HM3" suffix in V30KM120HM3/H denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with full AEC-Q101 qualification. It distinguishes this variant from the non-automotive "M3" version (e.g., V30KM120-M3/H), which shares identical electrical specs and package but lacks automotive reliability validation and associated test reporting.
What is the forward voltage of the V30KM120HM3/H at 30 A and 125 °C?
The V30KM120HM3/H exhibits a forward voltage of 0.67 V at IF = 30 A and TJ = 125 °C, per the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the official datasheet. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (≤5 ms) and reflects real-world performance in high-load, high-temperature operation such as automotive DC/DC converters.
Does the V30KM120HM3/H have a specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance?
Yes, the V30KM120HM3/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W under free-air conditions mounted on the recommended copper pad area, as documented in the Thermal Characteristics table. This value assumes no external heatsink and is used for worst-case ambient thermal design; RθJM = 2.5 °C/W applies when mounted on an infinite heatsink.
