The recommended PCB footprint for HER1603C is a standard SOD-123 package with a minimum pad size of 1.5mm x 1.5mm and a maximum pad size of 2.5mm x 2.5mm, with a thermal pad of 2.5mm x 2.5mm.
To ensure reliable soldering of HER1603C, use a soldering iron with a temperature of 250°C to 260°C, and apply a soldering flux to the pads. Avoid applying excessive heat or pressure, and ensure the component is properly aligned with the PCB pads.
The maximum allowable voltage for HER1603C is 160V, but it's recommended to operate the device within the specified voltage range of 50V to 150V for optimal performance and reliability.
HER1603C is not suitable for high-frequency applications above 100kHz due to its internal capacitance and inductance. For high-frequency applications, consider using a different rectifier diode with a lower capacitance and inductance.
To handle ESD protection for HER1603C, use an ESD protection device such as a TVS diode or a zener diode in parallel with the HER1603C. Ensure the ESD protection device is rated for the maximum voltage and current of the application.
