MBR10100CT

Diode Arrays Overview

The Littelfuse MBR10100CT is a silicon Schottky barrier rectifier featuring a dual anode common cathode configuration housed in a TO-220-2 through-hole package. It supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and an average forward current of 10 A. The device exhibits a typical forward voltage drop of 850 mV at rated current and withstands a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 120 A. Operating junction temperatures range from -55 °C to +150 °C, with a specified maximum reverse leakage current of 1 mA.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Dual anode common cathode topology for bridge or center-tapped applications
• Low forward voltage drop for high efficiency power conversion
• Guard ring die construction for transient protection

Diode Arrays Applications

• Low voltage high frequency inverters
• Free wheeling diodes in DC-DC converters
• Polarity protection circuits

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation on the component marking, as Littelfuse acquired On Semiconductor's diode portfolio. Confirm the specific suffix matches the requested TO-220-2 through-hole package variant. Ensure compliance with RoHS and REACH requirements by checking the latest datasheet revision against project specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a common cathode arrangement is required for two independent rectification paths within a single package. The TO-220-2 form factor provides robust thermal dissipation capabilities suitable for medium-power applications. Evaluate the 100 V rating against circuit peak inverse voltage requirements to ensure adequate safety margins during operation.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the MBR series of Schottky barrier rectifiers manufactured by Littelfuse. The series utilizes silicon technology optimized for low loss and high efficiency. The MBR10100CT specifically addresses needs for compact, high-current rectification in industrial and consumer electronics where space constraints and thermal performance are critical design factors.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with MBRD10100CT for TO-252 surface mount equivalents. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance differences when substituting packages. Check datasheets for variations in reverse leakage current and forward voltage characteristics between different manufacturers offering similar ratings.
