HERF1601G

Diode Arrays Overview

The HERF1601G is a high-efficiency rectifier diode from Taiwan Semiconductor, rated for a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50V and an average forward current of 16A. It utilizes an ITO-220AB package with dual dies configuration to achieve low forward voltage and power loss. The device supports a maximum junction temperature of 150°C and withstands a non-repetitive surge current of 125A. Electrical characteristics include a typical reverse recovery time of 50ns and a junction-to-case thermal resistance of 1.5°C/W.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code against the datasheet to ensure correct voltage rating and packaging type. Confirm that the component meets AEC-Q101 qualification requirements if automotive application is intended, as indicated by the 'H' suffix in related part numbers. Check mechanical mounting torque specifications during assembly to prevent case damage.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high efficiency and robust surge handling in medium-power rectification tasks. The ITO-220AB package facilitates effective heat dissipation through direct mounting. Ensure the operating reverse voltage does not exceed the 50V rating and consider the thermal resistance when designing heatsinking solutions for continuous high-current loads.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the HERF16xxG series, which offers various voltage ratings from 50V to 1000V within the same 16A current family. The series is designed for general-purpose high-efficiency rectification in industrial and consumer electronics. It shares common mechanical dimensions and electrical performance traits across the voltage range, differing primarily in breakdown voltage specifications.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 16A current rating, 50V minimum reverse voltage, and ITO-220AB package. Verify equivalent forward voltage and reverse recovery time parameters. Cross-reference with other manufacturers' ultrafast or standard recovery diodes in the same package class.
