FST160150

Diode Arrays Overview

The FST160150 is a silicon power Schottky diode module rated for a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 150 V and an average forward current of 160 A per package. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to 150 °C. The device features a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 0.88 V at 25 °C and 1.0 V at 100 °C, with a thermal resistance from junction to case of 0.50 °C/W per leg. It supports a peak forward surge current of 1000 A.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• High surge capability designed for robust transient handling
• Electrically isolated to plate for simplified mounting configurations
• Not sensitive to electrostatic discharge during handling

Diode Arrays Applications

• High frequency switched mode power supplies
• Free wheeling rectification in motor drives
• DC-DC converter output stages

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific electrical ratings against the official datasheet before integration. Confirm that the thermal management solution maintains the junction temperature within the specified -55 °C to 150 °C operating range under all load conditions. Ensure proper isolation techniques are used when mounting to the heatsink due to the isolated-to-plate construction.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high current density and low forward voltage drop. The TO-249AB package facilitates efficient heat dissipation through direct chassis mounting. Consider the 0.50 °C/W thermal resistance when designing the cooling system to ensure reliable operation at full load currents.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the FST160 series of silicon Schottky diode modules from GeneSiC Semiconductor. The series includes variants with different reverse voltage ratings up to 200 V while maintaining the same 160 A current capacity and physical footprint. These modules are engineered for high-efficiency power conversion systems.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other models within the FST160 series, such as the FST160200, which shares identical current and thermal characteristics but offers a higher 200 V reverse voltage rating. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal interface requirements when substituting.
