HER1608GH

Diode Arrays Overview

The HER1608GH is a glass-passivated high-efficiency rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a dual common cathode configuration housed in a TO-220AB-3 package for through-hole mounting. The device supports a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 50 V and an average forward rectified current of 16 A per diode. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage of 1 V, a reverse leakage current of 10 uA, and a fast recovery time of 50 ns. It withstands a maximum surge current of 125 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. The component holds AEC-Q101 qualification.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'H' indicates AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and 'G' denotes halogen-free green compound status. Confirm the TO-220AB-3 package dimensions match the target PCB footprint. Ensure the 50V reverse voltage rating meets the circuit's peak inverse voltage requirements without margin issues.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high efficiency and fast recovery in a through-hole format. The dual common cathode configuration allows for use in full-wave rectification or bridge-like topologies. Verify that the 16A current rating accommodates the load demands and thermal management strategy.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the HER1601G through HER1608G series of glass-passivated high-efficient rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. The series offers various reverse voltage ratings from 50V to 1000V while maintaining consistent 16A current handling capabilities across the lineup.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include HER1601GH through HER1607GH, differing primarily in reverse voltage ratings. Cross-manufacturer equivalents should be verified for identical pinout, current rating, and recovery time specifications.
