In summary, Rohm has a broad portfolio of diodes using the Wide Frame assembly method. These diodes are readily available in PMDU and PMDTM packages. Benefits to the Wide Frame packages include better traceability and improved mounting stability so that the customer can have higher quality products. Although the PMDTM is a slightly smaller package, Rohm’s evaluation is that PMDTM diodes are suitable replacements onto existing PMDS Recommended Land Pattern.
