Product details
Overview
VS-43CTQ100-1PBF from Vishay Semiconductors is a high-performance, AEC-Q101-qualified center-tap Schottky rectifier in TO-262AA package, rated for 100 V reverse voltage and 2 × 20 A average forward current per leg, with 0.67 V forward voltage at 20 A and 125 °C junction temperature-used in automotive DC/DC converters and industrial switching power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the VS-43CTQ100-1PBF datasheet, VS-43CTQ100-1PBF pinout, VS-43CTQ100-1PBF application, or VS-43CTQ100-1PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 175 °C max junction temperature, low 0.67 V VF at high temperature, common-cathode dual-die configuration, and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity rating for reflow compatibility.
Technical Context
This device integrates two independent Schottky die in a single common-cathode TO-262AA package, enabling synchronous rectification in half-bridge or center-tapped topologies. Its proprietary barrier technology minimizes reverse leakage up to 175 °C, and guard ring design enhances ruggedness against avalanche stress and thermal cycling.
It supports high-frequency operation (dV/dt = 10,000 V/μs) and delivers 7.50 mJ non-repetitive avalanche energy per leg at 25 °C. Thermal resistance is 2.0 °C/W per leg (junction-to-case), with case-to-heatsink RthCS of 0.50 °C/W when mounted on a greased smooth surface.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR (Max DC Reverse Voltage) | 100 V - defines maximum blocking capability in reverse-biased operation without breakdown |
| IF(AV) per leg | 20 A - continuous average forward current per anode leg at TC = 135 °C, 50 % duty cycle |
| VF at 20 A / 125 °C | 0.67 V - low conduction loss critical for efficiency in high-temp automotive environments |
| TJ max | 175 °C - enables under-hood deployment without derating in AEC-Q101-compliant systems |
| EAS per leg | 7.50 mJ - quantifies unclamped inductive switching robustness during transient overloads |
| RthJC per leg | 2.0 °C/W - determines thermal headroom between junction and heatsink interface |
| IRM at 125 °C | 11 mA - low reverse leakage preserves system efficiency at elevated ambient temperatures |
Pinout & Package
VS-43CTQ100-1PBF uses the TO-262AA (modified JEDEC) package: 3-pin, isolated metal tab (cathode-connected base), lead-free (PbF) finish, and MSL Level 1 compliant. The package features a thermally enhanced base for direct heatsink mounting and mechanical stability under vibration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (Leg 1) | Input terminal for first Schottky diode; connects to primary-side switch node in center-tapped topology |
| 2 | Common Cathode | Shared cathode connection for both diodes; electrically tied to thermal tab and PCB ground plane |
| 3 | Anode (Leg 2) | Input terminal for second Schottky diode; used for complementary phase or freewheeling path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive powertrain and chassis applications requiring zero-failure reliability over lifetime |
| Guard ring structure | Improves edge termination ruggedness, preventing premature avalanche failure during repetitive surge events |
| High-purity epoxy encapsulation | Provides enhanced moisture resistance (MSL Level 1) and mechanical integrity in humid or thermal-cycling environments |
| Center-tap common-cathode configuration | Enables compact dual-output or interleaved rectification without external cathode tie, reducing layout parasitics |
| 175 °C TJ operation | Supports sustained conduction in space-constrained enclosures where ambient exceeds 125 °C |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-43CTQ100SPbF | D2PAK (TO-263AB) package; same electrical specs but different thermal pad geometry and mounting footprint | Requires PCB land pattern revision; better suited for automated SMT assembly with tape-and-reel delivery | Select when board space allows larger D2PAK footprint and volume production favors SMT placement. |
| ON Semiconductor NTS4101PT1G | Single-die 100 V / 20 A Schottky in SOD-123FL; no center-tap configuration; VF = 0.75 V @ 20 A / 125 °C | Cannot replace dual-leg function without circuit redesign; limited to single-output or discrete dual placement | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-power applications where dual-anode integration is unnecessary. |
Compared with VS-43CTQ100SPbF, the VS-43CTQ100-1PBF offers identical electrical performance but requires through-hole mounting and delivers superior thermal coupling via TO-262AA's extended tab area; versus NTS4101PT1G, it provides integrated dual-leg functionality essential for center-tapped topologies without layout duplication or interconnect losses.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for VS-43CTQ100-1PBF?
The VS-43CTQ100-1PBF has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of +175 °C, verified per AEC-Q101 stress testing. This rating allows reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial settings without thermal derating below full current capability. The device maintains specified VF and IRM performance up to this limit, supported by its high-purity epoxy encapsulation and optimized thermal path.
Is VS-43CTQ100-1PBF pin-compatible with VS-43CTQ100SPbF?
No, VS-43CTQ100-1PBF is not pin-compatible with VS-43CTQ100SPbF. The former uses TO-262AA (3-pin through-hole) with leads spaced for axial mounting, while the latter uses TO-263AB (D2PAK) with gull-wing SMT leads and a different thermal pad layout. PCB footprints, soldering processes, and mechanical mounting methods differ significantly-direct substitution requires board redesign.
Does VS-43CTQ100-1PBF support center-tapped transformer configurations?
Yes, VS-43CTQ100-1PBF is explicitly designed for center-tapped transformer applications. Its internal common-cathode dual-die architecture connects both anodes (pins 1 and 3) to a shared cathode (pin 2), enabling simultaneous rectification of two complementary secondary windings-ideal for forward, push-pull, and half-bridge-derived topologies without external cathode tying.
What is the avalanche energy rating of VS-43CTQ100-1PBF?
The VS-43CTQ100-1PBF is rated for 7.50 mJ non-repetitive avalanche energy (EAS) per leg at TJ = 25 °C, measured with IAS = 0.50 A and L = 60 mH. This value reflects its ability to absorb inductive switching energy during unclamped turn-off events-critical for reliability in motor drive and DC/DC converter freewheeling paths where snubberless operation is desired.
Is VS-43CTQ100-1PBF RoHS and lead-free compliant?
Yes, VS-43CTQ100-1PBF is fully RoHS-compliant and lead-free (PbF), meeting JEDEC J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 requirements with a maximum peak reflow temperature of 260 °C. The "PbF" suffix in the part number confirms compliance, and the device uses high-temperature epoxy encapsulation compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles.
