Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'GH' confirms both the halogen-free green compound (G) and AEC-Q101 automotive qualification (H). Ensure the procurement documentation explicitly states the TO-220AB-3 package type and dual common cathode configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance and WEEE directive adherence as per the manufacturer's standard declarations for this series.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common cathode configuration is required for bridge or freewheeling applications. The 16A current rating and 50V blocking voltage define the operational limits. Consider the TO-220AB-3 package for through-hole mounting and heat dissipation needs. Verify that the 50ns recovery time meets the switching frequency requirements of the target circuit design.
