Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix against the manufacturer's documentation to confirm compliance requirements. The M3 suffix indicates RoHS-compliant, halogen-free commercial grade status. Confirm the package type matches the required footprint, as this part utilizes the D2PAK (TO-263AB) configuration. Ensure thermal management aligns with the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance values provided in the datasheet.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common cathode configuration is required for 400 V applications. The 50 ns reverse recovery time makes it suitable for high-frequency switching environments where low loss is critical. Consider the 16 A total current rating and ensure adequate heatsinking for case temperatures exceeding 100 °C. Verify that the D2PAK package fits the PCB layout constraints.
