Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity against official KYOCERA AVX documentation due to potential counterfeits. Confirm the specific manufacturing date code and lot traceability required for your assembly process. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications (PCN) or End-of-Life (EOL) notices that may affect long-term availability. Ensure the TO-220-3 lead form matches your PCB footprint specifications before finalizing orders.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a through-hole fast recovery diode is required for currents up to 10 A. The 200 V reverse voltage rating suits medium-voltage AC-DC conversion tasks. Consider the 35 ns recovery time for frequencies where standard rectifiers would exhibit excessive reverse recovery charge losses. Evaluate thermal resistance requirements based on the expected ambient temperature and heat sinking strategy.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the fast recovery rectifier category within KYOCERA AVX's discrete semiconductor portfolio. It utilizes silicon planar technology encapsulated in a plastic full-mold compound for environmental protection. The TO-220-3 package provides mechanical stability and facilitates direct mounting to heatsinks for improved thermal dissipation compared to smaller surface-mount alternatives.
