Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix when purchasing. The base part number without suffixes denotes standard compliance. Suffixes such as M3 indicate halogen-free and RoHS-compliant materials meeting specific whisker test requirements. Suffixes like HM3 denote additional automotive qualification under AEC-Q101 standards alongside material compliance. Confirm the delivery mode, typically tubes, matches the required manufacturing process.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring low forward voltage drops to minimize conduction losses. Ensure the operating junction temperature remains within the specified -40 to +175 °C range. Verify that the thermal management design keeps the junction temperature below limits during peak surge currents of 350 A. Consider the common cathode configuration for circuit topology compatibility.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to Vishay's dual high voltage TMBS rectifier family. It shares the TO-247AD 3L mechanical outline with other high-current variants but differs in voltage ratings and current handling capabilities. The product line emphasizes low power loss through advanced trench technology compared to traditional Schottky designs.

Diode Arrays FAQ

What is the difference between the M3 and HM3 ordering suffixes?

Both suffixes indicate halogen-free and RoHS-compliant materials. The HM3 suffix additionally signifies that the device is qualified under the AEC-Q101 automotive standard.

How is the forward voltage drop characterized across temperatures?

The forward voltage decreases as temperature increases. At 5 A, it is 0.44 V at 25 °C and drops to 0.32 V at 125 °C.

What is the maximum allowable solder bath temperature?

The maximum solder bath temperature is 275 °C for a duration of 10 seconds, tested per JESD 22-B106.
