Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix when sourcing this component. The PbF designation indicates lead-free and RoHS compliance, while the -N3 suffix denotes additional halogen-free status. Confirm that the required packaging quantity matches the standard tube count of 25 units per reel with a minimum order quantity of 500 units as specified in the manufacturer's ordering information table.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring a center-tapped Schottky rectifier with a 100 V rating and 60 A total current capacity. Ensure the thermal management design accommodates the maximum junction-to-case thermal resistance of 0.8 °C/W per leg. Verify that the application does not exceed the non-repetitive surge current limits of 2200 A for short pulses or 410 A for longer durations.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the VS-63CPQ series of center tap Schottky rectifiers from Vishay Semiconductors. The series is designed specifically for low reverse leakage at high temperatures. It shares the TO-247AC package form factor with other devices in the lineup but is distinguished by its 100 V voltage rating and 60 A current handling capability.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Datasheet documentation does not list confirmed substitute part numbers. When evaluating alternatives, verify compatibility regarding the TO-247AC package dimensions, pinout configuration, and electrical ratings such as forward voltage and reverse leakage current.
