Active production — AEC-Q101 qualified dual Schottky
The V15KL45C-M3/H: Rated 45 V reverse voltage (Vr max) and 15 A average rectified current (per device description), it delivers 5.6 A per diode in a common-cathode pair configuration. The 540 mV forward drop at 7.5 A sets conduction loss for OR-ing, reverse-polarity protection, or DC-DC secondary-side rectification in 12 V and 24 V automotive buses.
Package, thermal, and junction temperature envelope
The common-cathode configuration places both Schottky anodes on separate pins, with the cathodes tied internally — this simplifies layout for dual-diode topologies like center-tapped rectifiers or parallel OR-ing, but the shared cathode node must be considered in the PCB copper pour.
Switching speed and leakage — what the numbers mean
Listed as Fast Recovery ≤ 500 ns at > 200 mA (Io), this Schottky's switching speed is adequate for low-to-medium frequency automotive DC-DC converters (100–500 kHz range). The 2 mA reverse leakage at 45 V rated voltage is typical for a 45 V Schottky at high temperature — budget this into standby current calculations if the diode sits across a battery line in reverse-polarity protection.
