Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and packaging quantity when sourcing components. Confirm that the delivered units match the JEDEC TO-220AB package style and possess the required RoHS compliance markings. Ensure thermal management designs account for the specified thermal resistance values to maintain safe operating temperatures within the -55°C to +150°C range.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring high current handling and rapid reverse recovery characteristics. The 400 V rating suits medium-voltage rectification tasks. Evaluate thermal dissipation requirements based on the 16 A average current limit at elevated case temperatures. Consider the TO-220AB form factor for through-hole mounting solutions where adequate heatsinking can be implemented.
