Product details

Overview

V3PM6-M3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a surface-mount Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS®) rectifier in SMP (DO-220AA) package, rated for 60 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 3.0 A average forward current, and 0.47 V forward voltage at 3.0 A. It serves as a low-loss freewheeling or polarity protection diode in DC/DC converters and automotive-grade power supplies.

For engineers reviewing the V3PM6-M3/H datasheet, V3PM6-M3/H pinout, V3PM6-M3/H application, or V3PM6-M3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include its 175 °C max junction temperature, MSL Level 1 rating, halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction, and AEC-Q101-qualified variant availability (V3PM6HM3/H).

Technical Context

This TMBS® rectifier uses trench MOS Schottky technology to achieve lower forward voltage and higher efficiency than planar Schottky or standard PN diodes. Its single-anode/cathode configuration supports unidirectional conduction with fast recovery and low stored charge.

Thermal performance is defined by R_θJA = 125 °C/W (free air) and R_θJM = 15 °C/W (mounted on 10 mm × 10 mm copper pad), enabling reliable operation up to 175 °C junction temperature in space-constrained PCB layouts.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_RRM	60 V - blocks up to 60 V reverse voltage without breakdown in DC/DC converter output stages
I_F(AV)	3.0 A - continuous forward current handling at 25 °C ambient on recommended 10 mm × 10 mm pad
V_F @ 3.0 A	0.47 V - reduces conduction loss to ~1.4 W per device, improving system efficiency
I_FSM	80 A - withstands 10 ms surge events common in motor drive freewheeling paths
T_J max	175 °C - supports operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-power-density industrial SMPS
C_J	400 pF @ 4 V - limits high-frequency switching noise and EMI in >100 kHz DC/DC topologies
R_θJA	125 °C/W - defines thermal derating slope; requires thermal pad design for >1.5 A sustained loads

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
VSS8060M3/H	Same SMP package, 8 A I_F(AV), 0.52 V V_F @ 8 A, higher thermal mass	Better suited for higher-current DC/DC outputs (>5 A); larger footprint not required	Select when scaling power delivery beyond 3 A while retaining identical mounting and reflow profile
SB360-E3/54	DO-214AA package, 3 A I_F(AV), 0.72 V V_F @ 3 A, no AEC-Q101 option	Higher conduction loss; limited to commercial-temp industrial use only	Choose only if DO-214AA board layout is fixed and thermal budget allows +0.25 V extra drop

Compared with V3PM6-M3/H, VSS8060M3/H offers higher current capacity in the same footprint but trades 0.05 V higher V_F; SB360-E3/54 provides legacy compatibility but lacks automotive qualification and suffers 53 % higher conduction loss at rated current.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature rating for V3PM6-M3/H?

The V3PM6-M3/H has a maximum junction temperature (T_J) of +175 °C, verified per Vishay Document Number 87464. This enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-temperature industrial enclosures. Derating curves in the V3PM6-M3/H datasheet define safe current limits above 25 °C ambient, based on R_θJA = 125 °C/W and PCB thermal pad design.

Is V3PM6-M3/H qualified for automotive applications?

The V3PM6-M3/H itself is commercial-grade; however, its AEC-Q101-qualified counterpart is V3PM6HM3/H. Both share identical electrical specs and SMP package, but only V3PM6HM3/H undergoes stress testing per AEC-Q101. For automotive designs requiring qualification, specify V3PM6HM3/H - the "HM3" suffix denotes AEC-Q101 compliance, while "M3" indicates halogen-free RoHS construction.

What does the "/H" suffix mean in V3PM6-M3/H?

The "/H" suffix in V3PM6-M3/H denotes packaging in 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, with a base quantity of 3000 units. This format is optimized for high-speed SMT placement equipment. The "M3" prefix confirms halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, while the "/H" is purely a delivery mode code - distinct from the "/I" variant (13-inch reel, 10,000 units).

How does V3PM6-M3/H compare to standard Schottky diodes in forward voltage?

V3PM6-M3/H achieves 0.47 V forward voltage at 3.0 A due to its trench MOS barrier structure - approximately 0.15–0.20 V lower than conventional planar Schottky diodes like SB360-E3/54 (0.72 V). This reduction directly lowers conduction loss by ~35 % at full load, improving thermal margin and overall power stage efficiency in DC/DC converters using the V3PM6-M3/H.

What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for V3PM6-M3/H?

The V3PM6-M3/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (R_θJA) of 125 °C/W under free-air conditions on a 10 mm × 10 mm copper pad (1 oz. thickness). When mounted on a thermally enhanced PCB with a dedicated thermal pad, R_θJM drops to 15 °C/W - a critical parameter for calculating real-world junction temperature rise in high-duty-cycle applications using the V3PM6-M3/H.
