HERF1607GH

Diode Arrays Overview

The HERF1607GH is a glass-passivated high-efficiency rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor. It features a dual common cathode configuration housed in an isolated TO-220AB package. The device supports a forward current of 16 A and withstands a reverse voltage of 700 V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 1 V, a reverse current of 10 uA, and a fast recovery time of 50 ns. It is rated for a maximum surge current of 125 A and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides mechanical strength and protection against external environmental variations.
• High efficiency design ensures low forward voltage drop and reduced power loss.
• Fast recovery characteristics minimize switching losses during operation.

Diode Arrays Applications

• High-frequency switching power supplies
• Free-wheeling diode circuits
• Isolated DC-to-DC converters

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'H' confirms AEC-Q101 automotive qualification status and 'G' indicates halogen-free green compound packaging. Confirm the TO-220AB flange mount style matches thermal requirements. Ensure the 700V rating aligns with circuit peak inverse voltage needs. Cross-reference datasheet revision dates for updated thermal resistance values.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust high-current handling with fast switching speeds. The dual common cathode layout simplifies bridge or center-tapped configurations. Verify that the 150°C junction temperature capability suits the ambient operating environment. Consider the isolated case for direct heatsink mounting without additional insulators.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the HERF16xxG series of 16 Ampere glass-passivated rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. The series spans various reverse voltage ratings from 50V to 1000V. The HERF1607GH specifically addresses the 700V requirement within this lineup, sharing identical current and package specifications with its siblings.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include HERF1606GH (600V) or HERF1608GH (1000V), provided voltage margins allow adjustment. Other manufacturers offering equivalent 16A, 700V, TO-220AB fast recovery diodes may serve as alternatives if pinout and thermal characteristics are verified.
