Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '-13' corresponds to the tape and reel packaging configuration containing 10,000 units per reel. Confirm that the 'HDW' designation aligns with the SOT363 case style and lead-free matte tin finish specifications. Ensure compliance with RoHS and halogen-free requirements as defined by the manufacturer's green product standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require dual diode functionality in a minimal footprint. The SOT363 package offers a smaller profile compared to traditional discrete packages. Consider the 100 V breakdown voltage and 250 mA current limits to ensure adequate headroom for the target circuit design. Verify thermal management capabilities given the 350 mW power dissipation rating at ambient conditions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the BAW56 series of surface mount switching diode arrays produced by Diodes Incorporated. It serves as a modern replacement for older through-hole or larger surface-mount dual diode configurations. The HDW variant specifically denotes the SOT363 package type, distinguishing it from other package options available within the broader BAW56 family lineup.
