Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix to confirm the package type and qualification status. The 'I' suffix indicates the D2PAK (TO-263AB) package configuration. Ensure the 'E3' designation aligns with required environmental compliance standards. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as production status may vary. Validate that the thermal management design accommodates the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance values during operation.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring fast recovery characteristics in dual common cathode configurations. The 400 V rating suits medium-voltage AC-DC conversion stages. Verify that the operating temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C matches the application environment. Consider the 16 A total current capacity when sizing heatsinks. Ensure the PCB layout supports the D2PAK footprint and mounting torque specifications.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the FEP16xT and FEPB16xT series of dual ultrafast plastic rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings from 50 V to 600 V. The FEPB variant specifically denotes the surface mount D2PAK package option. These devices are designed for high-efficiency power conversion applications where rapid switching and low reverse recovery charge are critical performance factors.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include FEPB16AT, FEPB16BT, FEPB16CT, FEPB16DT, FEPB16GT, FEPB16HT, and FEPB16JT. These parts share identical packaging and electrical configurations but differ in maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 600 V. Ensure the replacement voltage rating meets or exceeds the circuit requirements.
