Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure correct package type and suffix compliance. Confirm RoHS status and halogen-free requirements if applicable. Check for automotive qualification needs requiring the HM3 suffix. Validate thermal resistance values for your specific mounting conditions before finalizing procurement specifications.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring dual common cathode configurations with ultrafast switching characteristics. Ensure the 150 V reverse voltage rating meets circuit requirements. Consider the 16 A total current capacity and verify thermal management strategies given the 2.2 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance. Evaluate the 50 ns recovery time suitability for the target operating frequency.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the FEP16xT and FEPB16xT series of dual common cathode ultrafast plastic rectifiers. The series offers various voltage ratings from 50 V to 600 V. The FEPB variant specifically denotes the D2PAK (TO-263AB) surface mount package, distinguishing it from the through-hole TO-220AB version.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same series include other FEPB16xT variants with different voltage ratings, such as FEPB16DT or FEPB16FT, provided the voltage requirements are met. Cross-brand equivalents require matching ultrafast recovery times and current ratings.
