FEP16HT

Diode Arrays Overview

The FEP16HT is a dual common cathode ultra-fast recovery rectifier manufactured by onsemi. It features a 16 A average forward current rating and a 600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage. The device utilizes silicon planar technology for high reliability. It is housed in a TO-220AB package with an isolated cathode connection, suitable for heatsink mounting.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Dual common cathode configuration for bridge or push-pull applications
• Ultra-fast recovery characteristics for high-frequency switching
• High thermal performance via isolated cathode in TO-220AB package

Diode Arrays Applications

• High-frequency DC-DC converters
• Free-wheeling rectification in power supplies
• Inverter circuits

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the official onsemi database to confirm exact electrical tolerances and packaging variants. Confirm availability status as distribution data may indicate discontinuation or limited stock. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required lead time and compliance documentation.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring fast recovery times and moderate current handling in high-voltage environments. Compare the TO-220AB footprint and thermal resistance against board space constraints. Verify that the 600 V rating provides sufficient margin for the target circuit's peak inverse voltage conditions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to the FEP series of ultra-fast recovery diodes from onsemi, formerly Fairchild Semiconductor. The series is designed for general-purpose rectification where speed is critical. The integration of Fairchild into onsemi has standardized the naming conventions, replacing underscores with dashes in some identifiers.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with Vishay FEP16JT-E3 or other manufacturers' FEP16 equivalents. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substitution.
