HER1601PTH

Diode Arrays Overview

The HER1601PTH is a high-efficiency rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a dual common cathode configuration housed in a TO-247AD (TO-3P) package. The device supports an average forward current of 16 A and withstands a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 1.0 V at 8 A, a surge peak forward current capability of 200 A, and a typical reverse recovery time of 50 ns. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'H' indicates AEC-Q101 qualification status as defined in the manufacturer's ordering information. Confirm the package type matches the required TO-247AD form factor. Ensure the selected part meets the necessary voltage and current ratings for the intended application environment. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if required by local regulations.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high efficiency and low power loss in high-current scenarios. The dual common cathode configuration allows for use in bridge or center-tap topologies. Consider the TO-247AD package for its superior thermal performance compared to smaller packages. Verify that the 50 V reverse voltage rating aligns with the circuit's peak inverse voltage requirements.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the HER1601PT through HER1608PT series of glass passivated high-efficiency rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. The series covers reverse voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 16 A forward current capability. The 'H' suffix specifically denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, distinguishing it from standard industrial versions.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include HER1602PTH, HER1603PTH, etc., which share identical packaging and current ratings but offer higher reverse voltage capabilities. Cross-brand replacements must match the TO-247AD package, 16 A current rating, and similar reverse recovery characteristics.
