Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix when purchasing. The base code HERF1603G indicates standard packaging, while the suffix H denotes AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Confirm the package type matches the required ITO-220AB form factor. Ensure compliance with RoHS and halogen-free requirements if specified by the project standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a 200 V blocking voltage with 16 A continuous current handling. The 50 ns reverse recovery time makes it suitable for general-purpose fast recovery rectification in switching power supplies. Consider the thermal resistance of 1.5 °C/W for heat dissipation planning in the ITO-220AB package.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the HERF16xxG series, which covers voltages from 50 V to 1000 V. All members share identical current ratings and package styles but differ in reverse voltage specifications. The series is designed for high-efficiency rectification in industrial and consumer electronics.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other HERF1603G variants from different manufacturers ensuring matching 200 V rating, 16 A current, and TO-220AB package. Verify pinout compatibility for dual common cathode configurations.
