Vishay releases standard rectifier and TVS two-in-one

Featuring an oxide planar chip junction design and a common cathode circuit configuration, the Vishay General Semiconductor R3T2FPHM3 combines a 3A, 600V standard rectifier with a 200W TRANSZORB TVS in the compact FlatPAK 5 x 6 package.

With a wide temperature range from -55°C to +175°C, the device released today is suitable for high-reliability automotive applications, including secondary protection for sensor units, distributed airbag modules, and low-power DC/DC converters in power distribution systems. By combining two different technologies in a single package, the dual-chip solution saves PCB space, simplifies layouts, and lowers overall costs in these applications. When paired in series with a standard TVS, the R3T2FPHM3 offers designers a complete > 24V solution with a low clamping ratio.

The two-in-one device's rectifier features a low forward voltage drop of 0.86V to reduce power losses and improve efficiency, while its TVS offers a breakdown voltage of 27V. The R3T2FPHM3 provides ESD capability in compliance with IEC 61000-4-2, air discharge and contact mode; it offers a MSL moisture sensitivity level of 1, per J-STD-020, LF maximum peak of 260°C; and its moulding compound features a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, the device is available in an AEC-Q101 qualified version.

Samples and production quantities of the R3T2FPHM3 are available now, with lead times of 12 weeks.
