The VX60100C-M3/P is a 60 A, 100 V Trench Schottky rectifier from Vishay, configured as a 1-pair common cathode in a through-hole TO-220AB package. Each diode in the pair is rated for 30 A average rectified current, so the total package handles 60 A when both legs share the load.
AEC-Q101 qualification and junction temperature
This part carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, meaning it has passed the stress tests and reliability screening required for under-hood and chassis-mounted electronics.
Forward drop and reverse leakage at the operating point
Maximum forward voltage is 790 mV at 30 A per diode — the Trench Schottky structure keeps Vf lower than a planar Schottky of the same die size, which directly reduces conduction loss in the rectification stage.
Fast recovery switching for hard-switched topologies
Classified as a fast recovery rectifier with trr ≤ 500 ns at > 200 mA forward current — fast enough for 50-100 kHz hard-switched converters where a standard Schottky's reverse recovery is negligible but the Trench structure still offers a cleaner turn-off waveform than a PN diode. The TO-220AB through-hole package suits point-of-load rectifiers, output OR-ing diodes, and freewheeling diodes in automotive DC-DC stages where the board can accommodate the leaded footprint and the heatsink tab is accessible for thermal management.
