Product details
Overview
VBT3080S-M3/4W from Vishay General Semiconductor is a Trench MOS Barrier Schottky rectifier in D2PAK (TO-263AB) package, rated for 80 V reverse voltage and 30 A average forward current, with ultra-low forward voltage of 0.39 V at 5 A and 125 °C junction temperature - optimized for high-efficiency DC/DC converters and reverse battery protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the VBT3080S-M3/4W datasheet, VBT3080S-M3/4W pinout, VBT3080S-M3/4W application, or VBT3080S-M3/4W equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.5 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction, and verified 200 A surge capability under 8.3 ms half-sine conditions.
Technical Context
This device uses trench MOS Schottky technology to achieve lower forward voltage and reduced conduction losses compared to planar Schottky or standard PN rectifiers. Its single-diode configuration features an anode-cathode–no-connect (NC) pinout layout optimized for high-current PCB mounting with heatsink interface.
Designed for operation up to 150 °C junction temperature, it delivers stable reverse leakage below 45 mA at 125 °C and 80 V, and maintains low VF drift across temperature - critical for thermally constrained power stages in automotive and industrial SMPS.

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side synchronous rectification in 300 kHz–1 MHz isolated flyback or LLC converters powering FPGA or ASIC core rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling Schottky rectifier replacing MOSFETs where gate drive complexity or body diode conduction loss is prohibitive. Use Value: 0.39 V VF at 125 °C cuts conduction loss by ~35 % vs. legacy 0.6 V Schottkys, directly improving efficiency by 0.8–1.2 % at full load. | Use Scenario: Polarity-reversal safeguard in 24–48 V vehicle infotainment or ADAS ECUs exposed to jump-start events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current blocking diode placed between battery input and system ground plane. Use Value: 200 A IFSM rating handles 100 ms jump-start surges without degradation; 45 mA IR at 125 °C ensures < 4 mW standby dissipation. |
| OR-ing Diodes in Redundant Power Supplies | Freewheeling Diodes in Switching Regulators |
Use Scenario: Back-to-back diode configuration in dual-input 12 V telecom PSUs to prevent backfeed and enable seamless switchover. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-VF, high-current path selector enabling automatic source prioritization without control IC. Use Value: 30 A IF(AV) and 1.5 °C/W RθJC allow parallel operation without active thermal management - simplifies board layout and BOM. | Use Scenario: Inductor freewheel path in 10–20 A buck regulators for industrial PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-recovery, low-loss commutation path during high-side switch off-time. Use Value: Ultra-low VF minimizes voltage droop during transient load steps; D2PAK thermal mass stabilizes junction temperature during burst-mode operation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STPS30H100CG-TR | 100 V VRRM, 30 A IF(AV), VF = 0.75 V @ 30 A, 2.0 °C/W RθJC | Higher voltage rating but higher VF and worse thermal resistance - less efficient at 48 V systems | Select when 100 V standoff is required; avoid if 80 V suffices and thermal headroom is limited |
| ON Semiconductor NRVB30M80CT | 80 V VRRM, 30 A IF(AV), VF = 0.78 V @ 30 A, TO-220AC package, no NC pin | Through-hole, higher VF, no MSL Level 1 - requires baking and manual assembly; inferior thermal path | Use only for legacy through-hole designs; not recommended for new SMT high-density layouts |
Compared with STPS30H100CG-TR and NRVB30M80CT, the VBT3080S-M3/4W delivers superior thermal performance (1.5 vs. ≥2.0 °C/W), lower conduction loss at elevated temperature, and full SMT process compatibility - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency 48 V power rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the VBT3080S-M3/4W?
The VBT3080S-M3/4W has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +150 °C, validated per JEDEC standards and confirmed in thermal characterization curves. This rating enables reliable operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments such as automotive engine compartments or industrial motor drives. The VBT3080S-M3/4W must be mounted to a heatsink or thermal pad to maintain this limit under full 30 A load.
Does the VBT3080S-M3/4W have a no-connect (NC) pin, and what is its purpose?
Yes, the VBT3080S-M3/4W features a no-connect (NC) pin - Pin 1 in the D2PAK (TO-263AB) package. It is electrically isolated from the die and serves solely for mechanical reinforcement and thermal anchoring to the PCB. The NC pin improves mounting stability and enhances heat transfer from the heatsink tab to the board, but must not be connected to any circuit node. This design is confirmed in the official Vishay package outline diagram for VBT3080S-M3/4W.
What is the forward voltage of the VBT3080S-M3/4W at 30 A and 125 °C?
The VBT3080S-M3/4W exhibits a forward voltage (VF) of 0.73 V at 30 A and 125 °C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 87979). This value is measured under pulsed conditions (≤40 ms) and reflects real-world performance in thermally stressed power stages. At room temperature, VF rises to 0.82 V (typical) and 0.95 V (max) at the same current.
Is the VBT3080S-M3/4W suitable for reverse battery protection in automotive applications?
Yes, the VBT3080S-M3/4W is explicitly recommended for reverse battery protection, as stated in Vishay's Typical Applications section. Its 80 V VRRM rating covers 48 V systems with margin, 200 A IFSM handles jump-start surges, and 45 mA IR at 125 °C ensures minimal standby loss. The VBT3080S-M3/4W also meets MSL Level 1 and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing - fulfilling key automotive qualification prerequisites for under-hood use.
What packaging format does the VBT3080S-M3/4W ship in, and what is the base quantity?
The VBT3080S-M3/4W ships in tube packaging with a base quantity of 50 units per tube, as defined in the Ordering Information table of the Vishay datasheet. The "4W" suffix denotes this tube delivery mode, while "8W" indicates tape-and-reel (800 units). Both variants share identical electrical and thermal specifications; the choice depends on SMT line requirements and production volume planning for the VBT3080S-M3/4W.
