FEPF16GTHE3_A/P

Diode Arrays Overview

The FEPF16GTHE3_A/P is a general-purpose fast recovery rectifier diode array manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a dual common cathode configuration housed in an ITO-220AB package. The device supports an average forward current of 8A and withstands a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 400V. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive peak surge current of 125A, a typical reverse recovery time of 50ns, and a maximum junction temperature rating of 150°C. This component is designed for high-efficiency power conversion applications requiring robust switching performance.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Dual common cathode configuration for efficient circuit design
• Fast recovery characteristics with 50ns reverse recovery time
• High thermal stability with 150°C maximum junction temperature

Diode Arrays Applications

• High-frequency DC-DC converters
• Free-wheeling diodes in motor drives
• Power supply output rectification

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix A/P against official Vishay documentation to confirm pinout and mechanical dimensions. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid RoHS compliance certificates. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor databases to avoid counterfeit components. Confirm that the ITO-220AB package matches your PCB footprint requirements before finalizing orders.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common cathode arrangement is required for synchronous rectification or free-wheeling applications. The 400V rating suits medium-voltage power systems. Consider the 50ns recovery time for switching frequencies where standard rectifiers would cause excessive losses. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the 8A continuous current capability and package thermal resistance.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's FEPF series of fast recovery rectifier arrays. These devices are engineered for use in hard-switching circuits where rapid turn-off is critical. The ITO-220AB package provides a balance between current handling capacity and mounting flexibility compared to smaller surface-mount options.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 8A current, 400V voltage, and dual common cathode configuration. Verify equivalent reverse recovery times to maintain circuit timing. Check package compatibility for ITO-220AB mounting.
