Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix HE3 against official Vishay documentation to confirm lead-free status and RoHS compliance, as suffixes define environmental attributes rather than electrical function. Confirm availability status directly with authorized distributors, as this part number may be subject to end-of-life notifications or discontinuation. Ensure the TO-220AC package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16 A fast recovery rectifier is required in a TO-220AC package. The 9 suffix indicates a 50 V reverse voltage rating; verify this matches your circuit's peak inverse voltage requirements. Consider the 50 ns recovery time for high-frequency applications where low reverse recovery charge is critical. Ensure thermal management solutions support the 150°C maximum junction temperature specification.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the FES16 series of fast efficient plastic rectifiers from Vishay. The series covers various reverse voltage ratings from 50 V to 600 V, all sharing the same 16 A forward current and TO-220AC package form factor. The 'JT' designation typically refers to the specific voltage grade within this family, while 'HE3' denotes the Halogen-Free and RoHS-compliant variant.
