Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AS' against official IXYS documentation to confirm compliance details or marking variations. Ensure thermal management meets the specified mounting torque requirements for the TO-220 package. Confirm RoHS status and UL 94V-0 epoxy certification if required by your design specifications.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring MHz-level switching frequencies where low junction capacitance is critical. The GaAs technology offers superior switching speed compared to silicon alternatives. Consider the 18 A continuous current rating and the 250 V blocking voltage when designing high-frequency power conversion circuits.
