Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm compliance requirements, such as halogen-free status or AEC-Q101 qualification. Ensure the package type matches the intended PCB layout. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to validate electrical characteristics and thermal ratings before finalizing procurement specifications.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for high-frequency power conversion designs requiring fast recovery characteristics. The D2PAK package facilitates efficient heat dissipation through direct mounting to a heatsink. Verify that the 300 V reverse voltage rating exceeds the circuit's peak inverse voltage. Confirm that the 16 A average current rating accommodates the load requirements under specified case temperatures.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the FEPB16xT series of dual common cathode ultrafast rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 600 V. The 'HM3' suffix indicates RoHS compliance, halogen-free material, and AEC-Q101 qualification. The 'I' suffix denotes the D2PAK (TO-263AB) surface-mount package configuration.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Vishay FEPB16xT variants with matching voltage and current ratings, such as FEPB16GT or FEPB16HT, provided the reverse voltage and recovery time specifications align with the design requirements.
