The 30 ns maximum reverse recovery time (trr) sets the switching-loss ceiling in hard-switched topologies — at a 100 kHz switching frequency, the recovery charge is the dominant loss term in the diode, and a 30 ns trr keeps it manageable for a 15 A leg. ## AEC-Q101 Grade 0 junction temperature range For an under-hood DC-DC converter or an engine-bay alternator rectifier that sees a 150°C ambient, the 25°C margin to the 175°C abs-max junction gives headroom for self-heating under full load. Conduction loss per diode at rated current is 15.75 W — this is the heat that must be removed through the D²PAK tab to the PCB copper or heatsink. Reverse leakage at 200 V is 10 µA, negligible for conduction loss but a useful sanity check for high-temperature operation: leakage doubles roughly every 10°C, so at 150°C junction it will be well above the 25°C figure but still below 1 mA for most automotive loads. ## TO-263AB (D²PAK) — surface-mount power tab The D²PAK (TO-263AB) package is a surface-mount power package with a large exposed copper tab on the bottom. The tab is the cathode for both diodes in the common-cathode configuration — the PCB copper pour under the tab carries the full output current and must be sized for thermal spreading.","metaTitle":"Vishay VS-30CTH02STRLHM3 FRED Pt, 30A, 200V, D2PAK","metaDescription":"Active Vishay VS-30CTH02STRLHM3 dual common-cathode fast recovery diode. 30ns trr, 15A per diode, AEC-Q101, TO-263AB.
