Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix /4W to confirm tube packaging delivery mode. Ensure the M3 suffix is present to guarantee compliance with halogen-free requirements, RoHS directives, and the JESD 201 class 1A whisker test standard. Confirm technical suitability by validating parameters against your specific application conditions.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a dual Schottky rectifier with a 170 V rating and 40 A total current capacity in a through-hole TO-220AB form factor. Consider the thermal resistance of 0.85 °C/W per device when designing heat dissipation strategies. Verify that the operating environment stays within the specified -40 to +175 °C junction temperature limits.
