60HQ100

The 60HQ100 from Vishay Dale is a Schottky rectifier diode designed for high efficiency and ruggedness. It features a maximum reverse voltage of 100V and an average forward current of 60A. The forward voltage drop is only 0.89V maximum at 60A and 25°C, with a typical value of 0.70V at 125°C, contributing to low conduction losses. The reverse leakage current is rated at 1.5mA maximum at 25°C and 20mA maximum at 125°C, achieved through proprietary barrier technology optimized for high temperature operation up to 175°C junction temperature.

This diode is capable of handling high surge currents, with a non-repetitive peak surge current of 8400A at 5µs sine wave. It also offers a non-repetitive avalanche energy rating of 15mJ and a maximum voltage rate of change (dv/dt) of 10000V/µs. The junction capacitance is 1400pF at 5V, 1MHz, and typical series inductance is 7.5nH.

The device is housed in a hermetic DO-203AB (DO-5) stud mount package, weighing approximately 15g. It features a guard ring for enhanced ruggedness and long-term reliability. The mounting torque specification is 23 kg-cm minimum to 46 kg-cm maximum for non-lubricated threads. Thermal resistance from junction to case is 0.83°C/W, with a typical case-to-heatsink resistance of 0.25°C/W when mounted on a smooth greased surface.

Common applications include switching power supplies, converters, free-wheeling diodes, and reverse battery protection. The Schottky technology enables high frequency operation, making it suitable for modern power conversion designs.
