Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure correct package type and revision level. Confirm RoHS compliance status and automotive qualification requirements if applicable to your design. Cross-reference datasheet parameters with actual application conditions before finalizing procurement decisions.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring dual common cathode configurations with ultrafast recovery speeds. Ensure thermal management strategies account for the specified thermal resistance values. Validate that the 400 V reverse voltage rating exceeds the maximum circuit operating voltages under all transient conditions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the BYT28-x00 series of dual common cathode ultrafast rectifiers. The 'B' suffix indicates the TO-263AB (D2PAK) surface-mount package variant. The '-E3/45' designation specifies RoHS compliance and tube packaging. Related variants include the TO-220AB through-hole and ITO-220AB insulated leaded packages within the same electrical family.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same Vishay family include BYT28F-400-E3/45 for ITO-220AB packages or BYT28-400-E3/45 for TO-220AB packages. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal dissipation requirements when substituting between different package types.
