FEP16CTD

Diode Arrays Overview

The FEP16CTD is a dual common cathode rectifier diode array manufactured by onsemi. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 300 V and an average forward rectified current of 16 A per diode. The device utilizes standard silicon technology with a fast recovery time of 50 ns. It is housed in a TO-220-3 through-hole package, suitable for high-power applications requiring efficient rectification.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Dual common cathode configuration for bridge or push-pull circuits
• Fast recovery characteristics for reduced switching losses
• High thermal performance via TO-220-3 leaded package

Diode Arrays Applications

• DC power supply output rectification
• Free-wheeling diodes in motor drives
• Inductive load protection circuits

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CTD' against official datasheets to confirm pinout and packaging variations. Confirm RoHS compliance status as manufacturing processes may change. Check for obsolescence notices or product change notifications prior to final design approval.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a 300 V rating and 16 A continuous current are required in a single package. The TO-220-3 package facilitates heatsinking for high-power dissipation scenarios. Ensure the 50 ns recovery time meets the switching frequency requirements of the target application.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the FEP16 series of fast recovery rectifiers from onsemi. It shares similar electrical ratings with other variants in the family but differs in packaging and specific suffix designations. The series is designed for general-purpose high-current rectification tasks.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include FEP16JTD and FEP16AT. Verify that replacement parts match the 300 V, 16 A, and 50 ns specifications. Ensure the alternative package type fits the existing PCB footprint.
