Product details
Overview
V3PM6-M3/I 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 80 A non-repetitive surge current, with 0.47 V forward voltage at 3.0 A and 175 °C maximum junction temperature - used in DC/DC converters and polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the V3PM6-M3/I datasheet, V3PM6-M3/I pinout, V3PM6-M3/I application, or V3PM6-M3/I equivalent, key selection criteria include low VF (0.47 V @ 3 A), high TJ max (175 °C), MSL Level 1 rating, halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction, and SMP package thermal performance (RθJA = 125 °C/W, RθJM = 15 °C/W).
Technical Context
The V3PM6-M3/I implements trench MOS Schottky technology to achieve lower forward voltage and higher efficiency than planar Schottky or standard PN rectifiers. Its single-diode configuration supports unidirectional conduction in low-voltage, high-frequency switching paths.
Designed for automotive-grade reliability when ordered as HM3 variant, the V3PM6-M3/I commercial version maintains identical electrical specs but excludes AEC-Q101 qualification. Thermal performance is defined for both free-air (RθJA) and mounted-on-copper-pad (RθJM) conditions per JEDEC standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - blocks up to 60 V reverse voltage without breakdown in DC/DC converter output stages |
| IF(AV) | 3.0 A - continuous forward current capability at 25 °C ambient on 10 mm × 10 mm copper pad |
| VF @ 3 A | 0.47 V - reduces conduction loss to ~1.4 W at full load, improving system efficiency |
| IFSM | 80 A - withstands short-duration inrush or fault currents in power supply input/freewheeling paths |
| TJ max | 175 °C - enables operation in under-hood or high-ambient industrial environments |
| RθJA | 125 °C/W - defines thermal limit for PCB layout with minimal copper; requires heatsinking above ~1.2 W dissipation |
| CJ | 400 pF @ 4 V - limits high-frequency switching noise and EMI in >100 kHz DC/DC topologies |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMP (DO-220AA), low-profile surface-mount case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94 V-0 molding compound, cathode indicated by color band.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VSSAF360-M3/5B | Same 60 V VRRM, 3 A IF(AV), but VF = 0.52 V @ 3 A; DO-214AC (SMA) package, larger footprint and higher RθJA (160 °C/W) | Less suitable for ultra-thin or thermally dense layouts due to SMA size and thermal resistance | Select VSSAF360-M3/5B only if legacy SMA footprint compatibility is required |
| SB360-E3/52T | 60 V VRRM, 3 A IF(AV), VF = 0.72 V @ 3 A; DO-201AD package, through-hole, no MSL rating | Not suitable for automated SMT lines; higher VF increases conduction loss by ~0.75 W at 3 A | Choose SB360-E3/52T only for prototyping or through-hole legacy designs where reflow compatibility is irrelevant |
Compared with VSSAF360-M3/5B and SB360-E3/52T, the V3PM6-M3/I delivers superior thermal performance (RθJM = 15 °C/W), lowest VF (0.47 V), and MSL Level 1 reflow readiness - making it optimal for high-density, high-efficiency SMT power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the V3PM6-M3/I?
The V3PM6-M3/I has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of +175 °C, enabling reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as automotive under-hood or industrial control enclosures. This rating is validated per JEDEC test conditions and supports long-term reliability when thermal design respects RθJA = 125 °C/W and RθJM = 15 °C/W limits. The V3PM6-M3/I must not exceed this TJ max during steady-state or transient operation.
Does the V3PM6-M3/I have AEC-Q101 qualification?
No, the V3PM6-M3/I is the commercial-grade variant with halogen-free RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, but it is not AEC-Q101 qualified. For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q101, the equivalent part is V3PM6HM3/I - which shares identical electrical specifications and package but adds stress-test validation per AEC-Q101. The V3PM6-M3/I remains suitable for industrial and consumer power supplies where automotive qualification is not mandated.
What does the "M3" suffix indicate in V3PM6-M3/I?
"M3" denotes Vishay's halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade product variant with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance and matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002. It distinguishes the part from non-RoHS or automotive (HM3) versions. The "I" suffix specifies 13-inch tape-and-reel packaging with 10,000 units per reel - critical for high-volume SMT line feeding. The V3PM6-M3/I thus combines environmental compliance, assembly readiness, and logistics scalability.
How does the V3PM6-M3/I compare to standard Schottky diodes in forward voltage?
The V3PM6-M3/I achieves 0.47 V forward voltage at 3.0 A and 25 °C - approximately 15–25 % lower than conventional planar Schottky diodes rated for similar current and voltage. This reduction stems from its trench MOS barrier structure, which lowers series resistance and barrier height. As a result, the V3PM6-M3/I dissipates ~1.4 W at full load versus ~1.7–1.8 W for typical alternatives, directly improving thermal margin and system efficiency in DC/DC converters.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RθJA) for the V3PM6-M3/I?
The V3PM6-M3/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 125 °C/W when mounted on a 10 mm × 10 mm copper pad per JEDEC standards. This value assumes free-air convection and defines the upper thermal limit for passive cooling: at 1.0 W dissipation, junction temperature rises ~125 °C above ambient. For higher power, designers must use the lower RθJM = 15 °C/W value with proper PCB copper area to maintain safe TJ ≤ 175 °C. The V3PM6-M3/I's RθJA is among the best in the SMP package class.
