FST8340M

Diode Arrays Overview

The FST8340M is a silicon Schottky rectifier manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor, designed for power applications. It features a common cathode configuration with two elements in a single-phase arrangement. The device is housed in a flange mount plastic/epoxy package (R-PSFM-T3) and supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 80 V. It provides a maximum output current of 40 A and can withstand a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 600 A. The component operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to 150 °C, with a maximum forward voltage of 0.84 V.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• High surge current capability for robust transient handling
• Common cathode dual-element configuration for efficient circuit design
• Flange mount packaging optimized for thermal management

Diode Arrays Applications

• Power supply circuits
• DC-DC converters
• Inverter freewheeling diodes

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from GeneSiC Semiconductor or authorized distributors to confirm exact electrical tolerances and mechanical dimensions. Ensure the R-PSFM-T3 package compatibility matches your thermal interface requirements. Cross-reference the 80V rating and 40A continuous current specifications against your system's peak load conditions to ensure adequate safety margins.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a low forward voltage drop and high surge tolerance are required in a flange-mount form factor. The common cathode setup simplifies wiring in bridge or synchronous rectification topologies. Consider the 150 °C junction temperature limit for high-temperature environments where standard packages may be insufficient.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the FST series of Schottky rectifiers from GeneSiC Semiconductor, which focuses on silicon-based solutions for general power electronics. The series offers various voltage and current ratings in standardized packages like the D61-3SM and flange mounts, providing designers with options for different thermal and electrical needs in industrial and consumer power systems.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible substitutes from GeneSiC such as the FST7340SM if lower voltage ratings are acceptable. Verify that any replacement maintains the same flange mount package style and common cathode configuration to avoid PCB redesign.
