FEPB16BT-E3/81

Diode Arrays Overview

The Vishay FEPB16BT-E3/81 is a dual common cathode ultrafast plastic rectifier housed in a D2PAK (TO-263AB) surface-mount package. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and a total maximum average forward rectified current of 16 A, with each diode handling up to 8.0 A. The device exhibits an ultrafast recovery time of 35 ns and a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.30 V at 8.0 A. It supports a peak forward surge current of 125 A per diode and operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure correct package type and suffix designation. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for any automotive qualification requirements if applicable to your design. Ensure that thermal management solutions are adequate for the intended operating conditions.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common cathode configuration is required for synchronous rectification or freewheeling duties. The TO-263AB package offers efficient heat dissipation through the exposed pad. Consider the 35 ns recovery time for high-speed switching frequencies and verify that the 100 V reverse voltage rating exceeds the circuit's peak inverse voltage demands.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the FEP16xT and FEPB16xT series of ultrafast plastic rectifiers from Vishay General Semiconductor. The series covers various voltage ratings from 50 V to 600 V. The 'B' suffix indicates the 100 V variant, while 'FEPB' denotes the dual common cathode configuration in a D2PAK package. These devices are engineered for efficiency and speed in modern power electronics.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Vishay parts from the same FEPB16xT family with matching voltage and current ratings, such as FEPB16AT-E3/81 (50 V) or FEPB16CT-E3/81 (150 V), provided the voltage rating meets the application needs. Cross-brand replacements must match the 16 A total current, 100 V reverse voltage, 35 ns recovery time, and D2PAK footprint.
