Product details
Overview
VS-20CTQ035STRL-M3 from Vishay Semiconductors is a high-performance dual-anode Schottky rectifier in D2PAK (TO-263AB) package, configured as a center-tapped common-cathode device rated for 35 V reverse voltage, 2 × 10 A average forward current per leg, and 0.57 V forward voltage at 10 A and 125 °C. It serves as a freewheeling or output rectifier in high-frequency DC/DC converters and synchronous rectification circuits requiring low conduction loss and 175 °C junction operation.
For engineers reviewing the VS-20CTQ035STRL-M3 datasheet, VS-20CTQ035STRL-M3 pinout, VS-20CTQ035STRL-M3 application, or VS-20CTQ035STRL-M3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 35 V VR, 20 A total average current capability, 0.57 V VF at elevated temperature, 13 mJ unclamped avalanche energy rating, and D2PAK thermal performance with RthJC = 3.25 °C/W per leg.
Technical Context
This device integrates two independent Schottky die in a single D2PAK package with shared cathode terminal, enabling center-tap topology support without external interconnection. Its proprietary barrier technology minimizes reverse leakage up to 175 °C, and guard ring design enhances ruggedness against transient overstress.
The VS-20CTQ035STRL-M3 operates with low series inductance (8.0 nH) and high dV/dt immunity (10,000 V/μs), making it suitable for fast-switching topologies such as phase-shifted full-bridge and active clamp forward converters where diode recovery behavior critically impacts efficiency and EMI.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR | 35 V - Maximum DC reverse blocking voltage per leg; defines safe operating range in buck-derived or center-tap secondary rectification. |
| IF(AV) | 2 × 10 A - Average forward current rating per anode leg under 50 % duty cycle at TC = 145 °C; supports high-power 12 V/5 V output rails. |
| VF | 0.57 V @ 10 A, 125 °C - Low conduction loss enables >95 % efficiency in high-current, low-voltage outputs with minimal thermal derating. |

| RthJC | 3.25 °C/W per leg - Thermal resistance from junction to case; enables direct heatsink mounting for high-power density designs. |
| CT | 900 pF @ 5 V - Junction capacitance per leg; contributes to low reverse recovery charge and reduced switching loss in MHz-range converters. |
| dV/dt | 10,000 V/μs - Voltage rate-of-change immunity; prevents false triggering in high-dV/dt environments like motor drives or LLC resonant converters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STPS2035CG | Same 35 V VR, 20 A IF(AV), TO-220AC package; higher VF = 0.62 V @ 10 A, 125 °C; no avalanche rating specified. | Requires through-hole mounting and larger heatsink footprint; unsuitable for space-constrained SMT designs. | Select when legacy TO-220 layout exists and thermal margin exceeds 5 °C/W. |
| ON Semiconductor NTS20350CTG | 35 V VR, 20 A IF(AV), D2PAK; VF = 0.59 V @ 10 A, 125 °C; EAS = 10 mJ; MSL Level 3. | Limited floor life (168 hrs) requires controlled handling; lower avalanche robustness may necessitate snubbers in high-Lleak systems. | Prefer for cost-sensitive telecom applications where MSL Level 1 is not mandatory and avalanche margin is verified. |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the VS-20CTQ035STRL-M3?
The VS-20CTQ035STRL-M3 is rated for a maximum junction temperature of 175 °C, enabling reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial power supplies or automotive under-hood applications without thermal derating below full current rating.
Does the VS-20CTQ035STRL-M3 have avalanche energy rating, and what is its value?
Yes, the VS-20CTQ035STRL-M3 has a specified non-repetitive avalanche energy rating of 13 mJ per leg at TJ = 25 °C with IAS = 2.0 A and L = 6.5 mH. This rating ensures robustness against inductive turn-off transients in flyback or forward converter topologies without external protection.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case for the VS-20CTQ035STRL-M3?
The VS-20CTQ035STRL-M3 has a maximum thermal resistance of 3.25 °C/W per leg under DC operation. This value is measured from the silicon junction to the case surface (pin 2/cathode tab), and assumes proper soldering to a thermally optimized PCB copper area.
Is the VS-20CTQ035STRL-M3 compliant with RoHS and halogen-free standards?
Yes, the VS-20CTQ035STRL-M3 is fully RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, meeting JEDEC JS709E and IEC 61249-2-21 requirements. The "-M3" suffix explicitly denotes lead (Pb)-free terminations and halogen-free molding compound.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of the VS-20CTQ035STRL-M3, and how does it affect handling?
The VS-20CTQ035STRL-M3 is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life and requires no baking prior to reflow soldering. This simplifies SMT assembly logistics and eliminates moisture-related popcorning risk during standard lead-free reflow profiles.
