V15P6HM3_A/I Schottky Diode Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The V15P6HM3_A/I is an automotive-grade Schottky rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. This surface mount component operates at 60 V DC reverse voltage with a 15 A average rectified current rating and is housed in a TO-277A (SMPC) package. The device is qualified to AEC-Q101 automotive standards and maintains active product status. Substitute parts are identified when identical electrical specifications, mechanical packaging, and compliance certifications are maintained across alternative part variants.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the V15P6HM3_A/I is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Reverse Voltage Rating: 60 V maximum
Forward Current Capacity: 15 A average rectified current
Forward Voltage Drop: 620 mV maximum at 15 A
Reverse Leakage Current: 3.6 mA at 60 V
Recovery Speed: Fast recovery ≤ 500ns for currents > 200mA
Package Configuration: TO-277A (SMPC) surface mount
Automotive Compliance: AEC-Q101 qualification required
Temperature Range: -40°C to 150°C junction operating range
Series Classification: eSMP® and TMBS® series designation

Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical performance across all rated conditions and comply with automotive qualification standards. Packaging and mounting characteristics must be mechanically and electrically compatible with the original design.
