HER1601PT

Diode Arrays Overview

The HER1601PT is a high-efficiency rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor, rated for a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V and an average forward current of 16 A. It utilizes a TO-247AD (TO-3P) package with dual die configuration. The device supports a maximum surge peak forward current of 200 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Electrical characteristics include a typical forward voltage of 1.0 V at 8 A, a maximum reverse current of 10 µA at 25°C, and a reverse recovery time of 50 ns.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Low forward voltage and low thermal resistance for high efficiency
• High surge current capability with 200 A rating
• Halogen-free construction compliant with IEC 61249-2-21
• UL Recognized File # E-326243 certification

Diode Arrays Applications

• DC to DC converter circuits

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official documentation to confirm qualification status. The standard HER1601PT does not carry the 'H' suffix required for AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Confirm packaging details, as the standard tube contains 30 units per tube. Ensure the procurement order matches the exact voltage rating and package type specified in the design requirements.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for general-purpose rectification requiring 16 A continuous current handling. The TO-247AD package provides robust mechanical mounting and heat dissipation capabilities suitable for power electronics. Consider the 50 V reverse voltage rating when designing circuits with potential voltage spikes. Verify that the application environment remains within the specified -55°C to +150°C operating temperature range.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This component belongs to the HER1601PT through HER1608PT series from Taiwan Semiconductor. The series offers varying reverse voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining consistent current and package specifications. The 'PT' designation indicates the specific TO-247AD package form factor used in this product line.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering 16 A, 50 V fast recovery rectifiers in the TO-247AD package. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution. Check if alternative parts meet the same UL recognition and halogen-free requirements.
