The V8PM63-M3/H is a 60 V, 4.3 A average rectified Schottky diode from Vishay, AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive applications. The fast recovery characteristic (≤500 ns at >200 mA) makes it suitable for high-frequency switching in DC-DC converters, motor drives, and reverse-polarity protection circuits where recovery time directly affects efficiency.
Forward voltage and leakage — thermal budget drivers
Reverse leakage is 20 µA at 60 V, climbing with temperature; the 175 °C maximum junction rating gives headroom for under-hood automotive environments where ambient can reach 125 °C.
Package and mounting — TO-277A (SMPC)
Surface-mount in a TO-277, 3-PowerDFN package (supplier device package TO-277A / SMPC). The large copper pad on the underside serves as the thermal path — PCB layout should match the recommended land pattern to keep RthJA within the design budget.
