Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm compliance status. The -N3 designation indicates the component is halogen-free, RoHS compliant, and totally lead-free. Confirm that the requested part matches the exact voltage rating and package outline specifications required for the design.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual Schottky rectifier with a center tap is required for high-efficiency applications. Ensure the thermal management system can handle the specified thermal resistance values. Validate that the operating voltage does not exceed the 45 V maximum rating under all transient conditions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to the VS-60CTQ... series of Schottky rectifiers manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings, such as 35 V and 40 V options, sharing the same physical package and general electrical characteristics while differing in reverse voltage capabilities.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Vishay Schottky rectifiers in the TO-220AB package. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure equivalent or superior voltage and current ratings are met before substitution.
