Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation before procurement. The /I suffix indicates a base quantity of 6000 units delivered in a 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel. Confirm compliance requirements such as RoHS and halogen-free status associated with the -M3 designation. Ensure thermal management aligns with the specified junction-to-ambient resistance values.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when low forward voltage drop is critical for minimizing conduction losses in high-frequency switching environments. The FlatPAK 5 x 6 package provides a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained designs. Evaluate thermal performance based on the operating ambient temperature and ensure the heat dissipation path meets the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance limits defined in the datasheet.
