Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix C9 to confirm the tube packaging format and quantity. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in official documentation. Check for 'Not Recommended for New Designs' status if initiating fresh projects. Ensure the TO-220FN package type matches thermal and mechanical requirements. Validate the 60V reverse voltage rating against peak inverse voltage conditions in the target application.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual Schottky diode with high current capacity is required. The 40A rating suits high-power conversion tasks. The 60V breakdown voltage defines the maximum operating limit. Consider the TO-220FN package for through-hole mounting and heat dissipation needs. Verify that the low forward voltage drop meets efficiency targets for the specific power stage design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the RB238T series of Schottky barrier diodes from Rohm Semiconductor. The series includes variants with different reverse voltage ratings, such as 150V models. These devices are designed for high-reliability applications, often meeting automotive standards like AEC-Q101. The TO-220FN package provides robust mechanical stability and thermal performance compared to smaller surface-mount alternatives.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the RB238T family, such as the RB238T-150NZC9 for higher voltage requirements. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution. Ensure the replacement maintains the same cathode common configuration and current handling capabilities.
