GSMBRTL20120

Diode Arrays Overview

The GSMBRTL20120 is a Schottky Barrier Rectifier manufactured by Good-Ark Semiconductor, housed in a TO-262L package. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 120 V and an average forward rectified current of 20 A per device. The component utilizes Trench MOS Schottky technology to achieve low forward voltage drop and high efficiency. Electrical characteristics include a typical forward voltage of 0.65 V at 5 A and 25°C, rising to a maximum of 0.87 V at 10 A and 25°C. Reverse current is specified at a maximum of 100 µA at 25°C and 15 mA at 125°C when rated voltage is applied. Thermal resistance values are 57°C/W junction-to-ambient and 2°C/W junction-to-case.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision date against the manufacturer's official documentation before finalizing design specifications. Confirm that the TO-262L package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint requirements. Ensure thermal management strategies account for the specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under expected operating loads. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the end product.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust surge current handling and efficient rectification at moderate voltages. The 20 A continuous current rating supports substantial power delivery needs. Consider the 120 V reverse voltage capability for systems operating near this threshold. Evaluate the thermal performance based on the ambient temperature conditions and available heatsinking options to maintain junction temperatures within the specified range.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This component belongs to the Schottky Barrier Rectifier category from Good-Ark Semiconductor. It is designed as a single-phase, one-element silicon device. The TO-262L package provides a standardized mounting solution for through-hole assembly. The part is engineered to replace standard rectifiers where lower forward voltage and faster switching characteristics are required.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference lists from Good-Ark Semiconductor for verified substitutes. Ensure any replacement matches the 120 V reverse voltage and 20 A forward current ratings. Verify package compatibility and pinout alignment to prevent circuit board modifications.
