Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'HM3' indicates AEC-Q101 qualification as stated in the datasheet ordering information. Confirm the package code 'I' corresponds to tape and reel delivery. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your assembly process. Cross-reference the part number against the latest Vishay documentation to confirm availability and revision status before finalizing procurement.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common cathode configuration is required for space-constrained designs. The D2PAK package offers efficient thermal dissipation compared to standard through-hole options. Consider the 400 V rating and 50 ns recovery time for high-frequency operation. Verify that the 1.30 V forward voltage drop aligns with system efficiency targets. Ensure the mounting torque does not exceed 10 in-lbs during installation.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This component belongs to the FEP16xT and FEPB16xT series of dual ultrafast plastic rectifiers from Vishay. The series provides various voltage ratings from 50 V to 600 V. The 'FEPB' designation specifically denotes the D2PAK (TO-263AB) surface-mount package variant, distinguishing it from the TO-220AB through-hole versions.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Vishay FEPB16GT variants such as FEPB16GT-E3 or FEPB16GT-M3, provided they match the 400 V rating and D2PAK package. Verify electrical parameters like trr and VF before substitution.
