GIB2404HE3_A/P

Diode Arrays Overview

The GIB2404HE3_A/P is a general-purpose diode array manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a dual common cathode configuration housed in a TO-263AB (D2PAK) surface-mount package. The device supports a maximum DC reverse voltage of 200 V and an average rectified forward current of 16 A per diode. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 200 V, a typical reverse recovery time of 35 ns, and a forward voltage of 975 mV measured at 8 A. The junction operating temperature range extends from -65°C to 150°C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

This component is officially classified as obsolete and is no longer manufactured by the original equipment manufacturer. Procurement efforts should focus on identifying verified replacement part numbers rather than sourcing new units. Verify that any substitute components meet the required AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and maintain equivalent electrical specifications to ensure system compatibility.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Engineers selecting this component must account for its discontinued status when designing new hardware. The primary selection criterion involves identifying a direct parameter-equivalent replacement that matches the 200 V rating, 16 A current capacity, and TO-263AB footprint. Ensure the substitute maintains the same common cathode configuration and thermal resistance characteristics to preserve the original circuit's performance integrity.

Diode Arrays Part Context

The GIB2404HE3_A/P belongs to Vishay’s GIB series of high-current diode arrays designed for robust power electronics applications. This specific variant utilizes the HE3 (Green Edition) technology, which eliminates halogenated flame retardants and adheres to RoHS directives. The series is engineered for high-reliability environments, particularly within the automotive sector where strict quality certifications like AEC-Q101 are mandatory.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

The GIB2404HM3/I is documented as a parameter-equivalent replacement for the GIB2404HE3_A/P. Designers should verify that the HM3 variant meets all functional requirements before implementation.
