VS-16CTQ100-M3 VISHAY Arrays

The VS‑16CTQ100‑M3 from Vishay is a dual common‑cathode Schottky rectifier supplying 2 × 8 A at 100 V in a through‑hole TO‑220AB package. For selection, key highlights include a low forward voltage drop of 0.88 V maximum at 16 A, fast recovery behaviour below 500 ns, and negligible 550 µA typical reverse leakage at the rated 100 V, all contributing to improved efficiency in high‑frequency power trains. A surge capability of 850 A and a junction temperature range of –55 °C to +175 °C provide margin for harsh environments, while the common‑cathode topology simplifies output rectifier layouts and OR‑ing stages. In application, the device is tailored for output rectification in switch‑mode power supplies, free‑wheeling and snubber functions in DC‑DC converters, secondary‑side rectification in solar micro‑inverters and UPS systems, motor‑drive and actuator clamping circuits, and general‑purpose reverse‑polarity protection. It equally serves automotive body electronics, industrial welding equipment, telecom rectifier shelves, and robotics where repetitive peak currents and sustained high‑temperature operation are fundamental design constraints.
