Vishay provides a recommended PCB layout and land pattern in their application note AN10364, which can be found on their website. It's essential to follow these guidelines to ensure proper thermal performance and reliability.
Vishay recommends using a thermal interface material (TIM) with a thermal conductivity of at least 1 W/m-K. The TIM should be applied evenly and thinly to the base plate of the device. Vishay also provides guidelines for TIM application in their application note AN10364.
The maximum allowed voltage derating for the VB30100S-E3/4W is typically 80% of the maximum rated voltage. However, it's recommended to consult with Vishay's application engineers or refer to their application notes for specific guidance on voltage derating.
The VB30100S-E3/4W is a commercial-grade device, but Vishay offers similar devices with higher reliability and screening options for aerospace and high-reliability applications. Engineers should contact Vishay's sales team or application engineers to discuss their specific requirements.
Vishay provides guidelines for soldering and assembly in their application note AN10364. It's essential to follow these guidelines, including using a soldering profile with a peak temperature of 260°C, to ensure reliable assembly and prevent damage to the device.
