FES8GT-5301HE3/45

Diode Arrays Overview

The FES8GT-5301HE3/45 is a general-purpose diode array manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V and is housed in a TO-220AC through-hole package. The device supports a forward current of 8 A with a maximum forward voltage of 1.5 V at this current level. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Configured as a dual diode array for efficient circuit design
• Utilizes standard silicon technology for reliable rectification
• Designed for high-voltage applications up to 400 V
• Compatible with through-hole mounting processes

Diode Arrays Applications

• High voltage power supply circuits
• General purpose rectification tasks
• Industrial electronic equipment requiring robust diode arrays

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix HE3/45 against official Vishay documentation to confirm lead-free status and tube packaging details. Ensure the TO-220AC footprint matches the target PCB layout. Cross-reference the datasheet for thermal resistance values required for heat dissipation planning in the final assembly.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual diode configuration is required in a single package to save board space. The 400 V rating suits medium-voltage AC-to-DC conversion. Consider the 8 A current capacity and thermal performance in the TO-220AC case for load requirements.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the FES8 series of fast recovery or standard diodes from Vishay, distinguished by its array configuration rather than a single unit. The 'G' typically denotes a 400 V rating within the series, while 'T' indicates the tube packaging format. It complements single-diode variants like the FES8GT-E3/45.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

FES8GT-E3/45 serves as a functional substitute if a single diode suffices for the application, though pinout differences exist between the array and single configurations. Verify electrical parameters match before substitution.
