FCH20E10

Diode Arrays Overview

The KYOCERA AVX FCH20E10 is a Schottky barrier diode designed for high-efficiency rectification. It features a dual common cathode configuration housed in a TO-220FP package with three pins. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100V and an average forward current of 20A. With a low forward voltage drop of 800mV, it ensures minimal power loss. The junction temperature range spans from -40°C to +150°C, providing robust thermal performance for demanding applications.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Dual common cathode structure for efficient circuit design
• Low forward voltage drop reduces conduction losses
• High thermal stability with extended operating temperature range

Diode Arrays Applications

• DC-DC converter circuits
• Free-wheeling diode applications
• Power supply rectification

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant (TO-220FP) matches the target PCB footprint. Confirm that the 100V reverse voltage rating aligns with the system's peak transient requirements. Ensure thermal management solutions are adequate for the 20A continuous current load to maintain junction temperatures within the specified operational limits during high-duty cycle operations.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common cathode topology is required for synchronous rectification or logic control. The TO-220FP package offers superior heat dissipation compared to smaller surface-mount options. Consider the 800mV forward voltage characteristic for efficiency optimization in low-voltage, high-current power conversion stages where standard PN junction diodes would incur excessive power loss.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the Schottky Diode & Rectifier category within the KYOCERA AVX portfolio. It utilizes Schottky barrier technology to achieve fast switching speeds and low forward voltage characteristics. The product is manufactured by Kyocera Kinseki Corporation, a subsidiary specializing in semiconductor devices, ensuring compliance with automotive and industrial quality standards for reliable long-term operation.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 100V/20A rating and dual common cathode configuration in a TO-220FP package. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before integration.
