Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number GI2404-E3/45 against official Vishay documentation to confirm the 200 V rating and TO-220AB package configuration. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards and check for any recent product change notices or end-of-life announcements directly from the manufacturer before finalizing procurement decisions.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring a dual common cathode configuration with fast switching speeds. The 200 V reverse voltage rating suits applications operating below this threshold. Consider the thermal resistance values and derating curves if the operating environment exceeds standard ambient temperatures or requires heatsinking.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This component belongs to the GI240x series of dual common cathode ultrafast plastic rectifiers. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings: GI2401 (50 V), GI2402 (100 V), GI2403 (150 V), and GI2404 (200 V). All share identical current ratings and package types, differing primarily in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage capabilities.
