HER1601GH

Diode Arrays Overview

The HER1601GH is a glass passivated high-efficiency rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a dual common cathode configuration housed in a TO-220AB package. The device supports a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50V and an average forward current of 16A. It exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.0V at 8A, a surge current capability of 125A, and a reverse recovery time of 50ns. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and meets AEC-Q101 automotive qualification standards.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junction for enhanced reliability
• High efficiency with low forward voltage characteristics
• High surge current capability for robust performance
• Halogen-free compound compliant with IEC 61249-2-21

Diode Arrays Applications

• DC to DC converters
• Switching mode converters and inverters
• Freewheeling applications

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'H' confirms AEC-Q101 automotive qualification status as defined in the manufacturer's ordering information. Ensure the 'G' suffix indicates the use of halogen-free green compound. Confirm the package type matches the required TO-220AB mechanical specifications and mounting torque limits before finalizing procurement.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring a 50V blocking voltage and 16A continuous current handling. The dual common cathode design allows for bridge or center-tap configurations. Consider the 1.5 °C/W thermal resistance for heat dissipation planning. Verify that the 50ns reverse recovery time aligns with the switching frequency requirements of the target application.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the HER1601G through HER1608G series from Taiwan Semiconductor. The series covers reverse voltages ranging from 50V to 1000V while maintaining a consistent 16A forward current rating across all variants. The HER1601GH specifically denotes the 50V variant with automotive-grade qualification.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include HER1601G (non-automotive) or other voltage ratings like HER1602G if higher blocking voltage is acceptable. Cross-manufacturer equivalents must match the TO-220AB package, 16A current, 50V reverse voltage, and dual common cathode configuration.
