Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /8W to confirm the reel quantity specification, as packaging variations exist within this product line. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the official datasheet, as environmental declarations may vary by production batch. Ensure the TO-263AB footprint matches the target PCB layout requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a 10A current rating and 100V blocking voltage are required in a surface-mount form factor. The common cathode arrangement simplifies circuit topology compared to discrete solutions. Consider thermal management capabilities inherent to the TO-263AB package for high-power density designs.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the UB20 series of diode arrays from Vishay. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings such as 150V and 200V. All variants share similar physical dimensions and current handling characteristics, differing primarily in their reverse voltage breakdown specifications.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with UB20CCT-E3/8W for higher voltage requirements (150V) or UB20DCT-E3/8W for 200V ratings. Direct pin-compatible substitutes from other manufacturers require verification of forward voltage drop and reverse recovery time parameters.
