Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm compliance requirements and qualification status. The E3 suffix indicates RoHS compliance and commercial grade material categorization. Confirm that the D2PAK (TO-263AB) package variant matches the intended thermal and mechanical design constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring fast switching speeds and low conduction losses in dual common cathode configurations. Ensure the thermal management strategy accounts for the typical junction-to-case thermal resistance of 4.8 °C/W per diode. Validate that the 200 V reverse voltage rating provides adequate margin for the specific circuit operating conditions and transient spikes.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the BYQ28E series of dual common cathode ultrafast rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. The series includes variants in TO-220AB, ITO-220AB, and D2PAK packages. The BYQ28EB designation specifically identifies the D2PAK (TO-263AB) surface-mount package option within this family.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Vishay dual common cathode ultrafast rectifiers such as the BYQ28EF-200-E3/45 (ITO-220AB package) or the BYQ28E-200-E3/45 (TO-220AB package), provided the package footprint and mounting torque specifications are compatible with the existing board layout.

Diode Arrays FAQ

Is the BYQ28EB-200-E3/45 qualified for automotive applications?

No, the E3 suffix denotes commercial grade. Automotive qualification (AEC-Q101) is available only for the HE3 suffix variants in the ITO-220AB and D2PAK packages.

What is the maximum solder dip temperature for this package?

The maximum solder dip temperature is 275 °C for a maximum duration of 10 seconds, per JESD 22-B106.

How is the forward current rated for this dual diode configuration?

The total maximum average forward rectified current is 10 A, which is distributed as 5.0 A per diode when mounted on a case temperature of 100 °C.
