It features low reverse leakage current, low forward voltage drop, and high surge current capability. It is made from silicon and has a maximum reverse voltage of 18V and a peak forward current of 3.5A.

The VS-18TQ035HN3 is ideal for use in applications such as automotive load dump protection, DC-OHCR circuits with low voltage drop, power management, switching power supply output diode, standby power circuit, and various modes of DC-DC converters. It is also suitable for use in automotive primary and auxiliary power system, battery charging systems, AC-DC converters, motor control systems, and battery powered applications.

The working principle of the VS-18TQ035HN3 is based on rectification control, where it is capable of rectifying AC voltage into DC. AC voltage is composed of waves that alternate between positive and negative values at regular intervals. This alternating voltage can damage components in many circuits, so rectifiers like the VS-18TQ035HN3 are needed to convert AC voltage into DC. Rectifier diodes allow the AC current to flow in one direction only, forming a DC voltage output from an AC voltage input.

The VS-18TQ035HN3 is a Schottky diode and features a low forward voltage drop, meaning it can reduce the voltage drop across the diode junction. This allows for efficient and cost-effective design with low losses, leading to higher efficiency and improved performance in power applications. Another advantage of using a Schottky diode is its fast switching speed, which makes it especially suitable for applications that require a fast response. It is also capable of withstanding high surge currents, making it ideal for use in surge protection circuits.

The VS-18TQ035HN3 offers a range of benefits, making it an ideal solution for power management and protection in automotive, industrial and communications applications. Its low forward voltage drop and low reverse leakage current, along with its ability to withstand high surge currents, ensures a reliable and high performance operation. The diode\'s small package size and low total harmonic distortion also make it an attractive choice for portable applications.

As a single rectifier, the VS-18TQ035HN3 is a reliable and efficient solution for power applications, offering low forward voltage drop, low losses and high surge current capability. Its performance benefits, coupled with its small size and low cost, make it a suitable choice for a wide range of applications, from automotive and industrial to communications.
