Product details
Overview
VS-20CTQ035STRR-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 - optimized for high-frequency switching power supplies and reverse battery protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the VS-20CTQ035STRR-M3 datasheet, VS-20CTQ035STRR-M3 pinout, VS-20CTQ035STRR-M3 application, or VS-20CTQ035STRR-M3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 175 °C junction temperature rating, low 900 pF junction capacitance per leg, 10,000 V/μs dV/dt capability, and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity - all critical for automotive-grade DC/DC converters and industrial freewheeling designs.
Technical Context
This dual-die Schottky rectifier integrates two identical 35 V, 10 A legs sharing a common cathode terminal, enabling compact center-tap configurations without external interconnects. Its proprietary barrier technology minimizes reverse leakage to 15 mA at 125 °C while sustaining 175 °C TJ operation - a requirement for under-hood automotive power stages.
The device uses high-purity, high-temperature epoxy encapsulation and a guard ring structure to ensure mechanical ruggedness and long-term reliability under thermal cycling and surge stress. Thermal resistance is specified at 3.25 °C/W (junction-to-case per leg), supporting high-power density layouts when mounted on a heatsink with 0.50 °C/W case-to-sink interface resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR (Max DC reverse voltage) | 35 V - defines maximum continuous blocking capability per leg; sets upper limit for input voltage rails in 24 V automotive systems. |
| IF(AV) per leg | 10 A - average forward current rating per anode leg at 50 % duty cycle and TC = 145 °C; supports sustained 20 A total package output. |
| VFM @ 10 A, 125 °C | 0.57 V - low conduction loss enables >95 % efficiency in 12–24 V buck converters operating at elevated ambient temperatures. |
| IRM @ 125 °C | 15 mA - low reverse leakage preserves system standby power budget in always-on vehicle modules. |
| RthJC per leg | 3.25 °C/W - enables thermal design with ≤32.5 W dissipation per leg before reaching 175 °C junction limit at 145 °C case temperature. |
| EAS per leg | 13 mJ - avalanche energy rating supports unclamped inductive switching events in motor drive freewheel paths. |
| dV/dt rating | 10,000 V/μs - ensures robust turn-off behavior in fast-switching SiC/GaN-based topologies without spurious conduction. |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK (TO-263AB) surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad; 3-terminal configuration: Pin 1 = Anode 1, Pin 2 = Cathode (common), Pin 3 = Anode 2. Mounting torque: 6–12 kgf·cm (5–10 lbf·in).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode 1 | Input connection for first Schottky die; electrically isolated from Anode 2; used in center-tap transformer secondaries or dual-input rectification. |
| 2 | Common Cathode | Shared output node for both dies; must be connected to ground or low-side return path; thermally coupled to exposed copper pad for heat dissipation. |
| 3 | Anode 2 | Input connection for second Schottky die; symmetrical to Pin 1; enables balanced current sharing in push-pull or dual-phase topologies. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 175 °C maximum junction temperature | Enables operation in engine bay environments without derating; eliminates need for oversized heatsinks in space-constrained automotive ECUs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the VS-20CTQ035STRR-M3?
The VS-20CTQ035STRR-M3 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +175 °C, verified per JEDEC JESD47 qualification. This allows uninterrupted operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial settings where conventional Schottky diodes would require significant derating. The VS-20CTQ035STRR-M3 maintains stable electrical performance up to this limit due to its proprietary barrier technology and high-temperature epoxy encapsulation.
Is the VS-20CTQ035STRR-M3 suitable for reverse battery protection in automotive applications?
Yes, the VS-20CTQ035STRR-M3 is widely deployed for reverse battery protection in automotive ECUs and telematics units. Its 35 V VR rating covers 24 V nominal systems with headroom for load dump transients, while its 15 mA IRM at 125 °C ensures minimal standby power loss. The VS-20CTQ035STRR-M3 also meets MSL Level 1 and JEDEC JESD47 requirements - essential for AEC-Q101-aligned designs.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case for the VS-20CTQ035STRR-M3?
The VS-20CTQ035STRR-M3 specifies a maximum thermal resistance of 3.25 °C/W from junction to case per leg under DC operation. This value is measured with the device mounted on a standard heatsink using greased interface; actual thermal performance depends on PCB copper area, heatsink size, and airflow. The VS-20CTQ035STRR-M3's exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a minimum 11 mm × 9.65 mm copper pour for optimal heat transfer.
Does the VS-20CTQ035STRR-M3 have a guard ring structure?
Yes, the VS-20CTQ035STRR-M3 incorporates a guard ring for enhanced edge termination ruggedness and long-term reliability under high dv/dt and thermal cycling stress. This feature is explicitly documented in the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 94932) and contributes to its qualification per JEDEC JESD47 - distinguishing it from many competing Schottky rectifiers that omit this structural reinforcement.
What packaging format does the VS-20CTQ035STRR-M3 ship in?
The VS-20CTQ035STRR-M3 ships in 13-inch plastic tape-and-reel format with 800 units per reel (TRR = right-oriented reel for D2PAK). This packaging is optimized for automated SMT placement and complies with ESD-safe handling standards. The "-M3" suffix confirms halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and lead (Pb)-free termination - fully aligned with modern environmental compliance requirements.
