Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official documentation to confirm qualification status. The standard 'G' suffix indicates compliance with environmental directives, while the 'H' suffix denotes AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Ensure the ordering code matches the required voltage rating and packaging format before procurement.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring a 100 V blocking voltage and 16 A continuous current handling. The TO-220AB package provides adequate thermal dissipation for general-purpose rectification. Consider the 50 ns reverse recovery time when designing for high-frequency switching environments to minimize switching losses.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to the HER1601G through HER1608G family of glass passivated high-efficient rectifiers manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor. The series offers various voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V within the same physical footprint, allowing for design flexibility across different power supply architectures.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include HER1601G (50V) and HER1603G (200V) if voltage margins allow. Cross-manufacturer replacements must match the 16A current rating, 100V reverse voltage, TO-220AB package, and fast recovery characteristics.
