Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure correct package type and compliance status. Confirm that the E3 suffix aligns with required RoHS standards for your manufacturing process. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to validate current electrical parameters before finalizing component selection.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring a 400 V rating with a 16 A continuous current capacity. Ensure thermal management strategies accommodate the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance. Verify that the operating frequency benefits from the 50 ns recovery time compared to standard recovery alternatives.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the FEPB16xT series of dual common cathode ultrafast rectifiers. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 600 V within the same physical footprint. The D2PAK (TO-263AB) package provides efficient heat dissipation for surface mount implementations.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Vishay parts within the FEPB16xT series sharing identical pinouts and electrical profiles. Verify that any alternative maintains the 50 ns recovery time and 400 V reverse voltage rating to preserve circuit performance.
