• Reserve battery protection

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /4W indicates tube packaging containing 50 units per tube as documented in the ordering information section. Confirm the M3 designation ensures halogen-free composition and RoHS compliance. Validate that the TO-262AA package code matches the required mechanical footprint for the target PCB layout before finalizing procurement orders.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common cathode Schottky rectifier is required for applications demanding low forward voltage at moderate currents. The TO-262AA package provides a robust through-hole mounting solution suitable for higher power dissipation compared to smaller surface mount options. Ensure the operating junction temperature does not exceed the 150 °C maximum rating during design validation.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the VT3080C/VIT3080C family of dual Trench MOS Barrier Schottky rectifiers. The 'VIT' prefix specifically denotes the TO-262AA package variant, distinguishing it from the VT3080C which utilizes the TO-220AB package. Both variants share identical electrical specifications and functional characteristics within the same product line.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

VT3080C-M3/4W serves as the direct pin-compatible alternative utilizing the TO-220AB package instead of TO-262AA. Verify mechanical clearance and mounting hole alignment when substituting between these package types.

Diode Arrays FAQ
