VSSAF5M6-M3

Vishay Intertech · Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBD) · SMA(DO-214AC)

VSSAF5M6-M3 from Vishay Intertech, in a SMA(DO-214AC). 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 K passive Cathode terminal, marked by the color band; the diode blocks up to VRRM 60 V reverse and conducts 5.0 A average forward current (mounted on 30 mm x 30 mm pad).
2 A passive Anode terminal of the single Schottky rectifier, with VF of 0.52 V typical at IF = 5.0 A and TJ = 125 °C.
