Our latest PCB uses FERD40U45CT (Diode) but I have been notified that this is now obsolete. How long will this product be avalable? Do I need to urgently change my design or do I have plenty of time left for FERD40U45CT. I very much like this diode.

Last orders, Mid-August, 15-Week delivery.

In stock with DigiKey, order enough to get you to the point where you're comfortable bringing a new design into production.

I would not dally, only see 4K pcs in open stocks, would see it as a good arbitrage bet..

Thank you for the quick reply

...or replace FERD40U45CT (TO-220AB) by FERD40U45CG (D2PAK), which is still active - well... yet.
