Product details
Overview
VS-16CTQ100STRLHM3 from Vishay Semiconductors is a high-performance, AEC-Q101-qualified dual-anode Schottky rectifier in D2PAK (TO-263AB) package, configured as a center-tapped common-cathode device with 100 V reverse voltage rating, 16 A total average forward current (8 A per leg), and 0.58 V forward voltage at 8 A and 125 °C - optimized for automotive DC/DC converters and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the VS-16CTQ100STRLHM3 datasheet, VS-16CTQ100STRLHM3 pinout, VS-16CTQ100STRLHM3 application, or VS-16CTQ100STRLHM3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 175 °C junction temperature capability, low IRM of 7.0 mA at 125 °C, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and halogen-free RoHS-compliant M3 termination.
Technical Context
This device integrates two independent Schottky die in a single D2PAK package with shared cathode terminal, enabling synchronous rectification or dual-output configurations without external parallel diodes. Its proprietary barrier technology ensures stable low VF and minimal reverse leakage up to TJ = 175 °C.
The center-tap topology supports buck-derived topologies and reverse battery protection circuits where common-cathode referencing simplifies PCB layout and thermal management. Guard ring structure and high-purity epoxy encapsulation enhance ruggedness against mechanical stress and humidity-induced degradation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR (VRRM) | 100 V - maximum working peak reverse voltage; defines safe blocking range in 48 V automotive systems with transient margin. |
| IF(AV) per device | 16 A - total average forward current capacity; enables high-power 12 V/24 V output rails without paralleling discrete diodes. |
| VF @ 8 A, TJ = 125 °C | 0.58 V - low conduction loss per leg; reduces forward power dissipation to ~4.6 W per leg at full rated current. |
| IRM @ 125 °C | 7.0 mA - ultra-low reverse leakage at elevated temperature; critical for maintaining efficiency in under-hood environments. |
| TJ max. | 175 °C - extended junction temperature rating; allows operation in engine bay or industrial enclosures without derating. |
| RthJC per leg | 3.25 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to case; supports direct heatsink mounting with <10 K/W system thermal path. |
| EAS per leg | 7.5 mJ - non-repetitive avalanche energy rating; provides robustness against inductive switching transients in motor drives. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STPS16S100CGY | Same 100 V VR, 16 A IF(AV), but TO-220AC package; VF = 0.75 V @ 8 A, 125 °C; no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Limited to commercial/industrial use; unsuitable for under-hood automotive due to lower TJ max (150 °C) and no whisker testing. | Select when cost-sensitive non-automotive designs require through-hole assembly and higher VF tolerance is acceptable. |
| ON Semiconductor NTS4101PT1G | Single-die 100 V Schottky, SOD-123FL package; IF(AV) = 1 A only; VF = 0.55 V @ 1 A, 25 °C - not scalable to 16 A. | Only viable for signal-level or low-current bias rails; cannot replace VS-16CTQ100STRLHM3 in power conversion roles. | Consider only for auxiliary bias supply or logic-level clamping - not a functional alternative for main power rectification. |
Compared with STPS16S100CGY and NTS4101PT1G, VS-16CTQ100STRLHM3 uniquely delivers automotive-grade reliability, dual-leg integration, and 175 °C operation in a thermally optimized D2PAK package - making it irreplaceable for high-current, high-temperature power conversion where footprint, thermal performance, and qualification compliance are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for VS-16CTQ100STRLHM3?
The VS-16CTQ100STRLHM3 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +175 °C, verified per AEC-Q101 stress testing. This rating enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial settings without thermal derating below 148 °C case temperature at full 16 A load.
Does VS-16CTQ100STRLHM3 support surface-mount reflow assembly?
Yes, VS-16CTQ100STRLHM3 meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and withstands lead-free reflow peak temperatures up to 260 °C. Its D2PAK (TO-263AB) package is qualified for standard SMT processes without pre-baking or special handling - confirmed in Vishay document 95861, revision 03-Aug-2023.
What does the "STRLHM3" suffix indicate in VS-16CTQ100STRLHM3?
In VS-16CTQ100STRLHM3, "STRL" denotes tape-and-reel packaging (13-inch diameter, left-oriented orientation for D2PAK), and "HM3" specifies halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and lead (Pb)-free termination per JEDEC standards - critical for automotive OEM compliance and green manufacturing requirements.
How is the center-tap configuration implemented in VS-16CTQ100STRLHM3?
VS-16CTQ100STRLHM3 uses a monolithic dual-die structure in one D2PAK package: Pins 1 and 3 serve as independent anodes, while Pin 2 is the shared cathode terminal. This physical center-tap arrangement eliminates external wiring between cathodes and ensures matched thermal and electrical characteristics across both legs.
Is VS-16CTQ100STRLHM3 suitable for reverse battery protection?
Yes, VS-16CTQ100STRLHM3 is widely used for reverse battery protection due to its 100 V VR rating, 0.58 V forward voltage at 8 A/125 °C, and 175 °C TJ capability. Its low VF minimizes voltage drop and self-heating during normal operation, while AEC-Q101 qualification ensures reliability in automotive service environments.
