Vishay Intertech · Fast Recovery / High Efficiency Diodes · TO-220AB-3
VS-20CTH03-M3 from Vishay Intertech, in a TO-220AB-3. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | passive | Anode of the first hyperfast rectifier diode; each diode is rated for an average forward current IF(AV) of 10 A at TC = 160 °C, with VRRM of 300 V. |
| 2 | Common cathode | passive | Common cathode shared by both diodes, shown in the datasheet as the base/common cathode connection; the device is rated 20 A IF(AV) per device, with operating junction and storage temperatures of -65 to +175 °C. |
| 3 | Anode | passive | Anode of the second hyperfast rectifier diode; each diode is rated for an average forward current IF(AV) of 10 A at TC = 160 °C, with VRRM of 300 V. |
