MBR1050CT

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBR1050CT is a Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, featuring dual silicon dies in a TO-220AB package. It provides a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V and an average forward current rating of 10 A. The device supports a surge peak forward current of 120 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Electrical characteristics include a typical forward voltage of 0.80 V at 5 A and 0.90 V at 10 A, with a maximum reverse current of 100 µA at rated voltage.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Guard ring structure designed for overvoltage protection
• Low power loss and high efficiency operation
• High surge current capability

Diode Arrays Applications

• Switching mode power supplies (SMPS)
• Adapters
• DC to DC converters

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix when sourcing components. The standard 'MBR1050CT' designation indicates a non-AEC-Q101 qualified part. If automotive-grade qualification is required, confirm the presence of the 'H' suffix in the ordering code, as this denotes AEC-Q101 compliance. Ensure the package type matches the intended mounting requirements.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select the MBR1050CT for applications requiring a 50 V blocking voltage and 10 A continuous current handling. The TO-220AB package facilitates heat dissipation through direct mounting to a heatsink. Consider the thermal resistance and derating curves for high ambient temperature environments. Verify that the low forward voltage drop meets the system's efficiency targets compared to standard PN junction rectifiers.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This component belongs to the MBR1035CT through MBR10200CT series from Taiwan Semiconductor. The series utilizes a common TO-220AB mechanical outline and shares identical electrical ratings for forward current and surge capacity across all voltage variants. The primary distinction between members of this family is the repetitive peak reverse voltage rating.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering 10 A, 50 V Schottky rectifiers in the TO-220AB package. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance specifications before substitution.

Diode Arrays FAQ

What is the maximum operating junction temperature?

The maximum operating junction temperature is +150°C.

How does the reverse current vary with temperature?

At 25°C, the maximum reverse current is 100 µA. At 125°C, it increases to a maximum of 10 mA.

Is this component suitable for automotive applications?

Standard versions are not explicitly qualified for automotive use. Only parts with the 'H' suffix in the ordering code are AEC-Q101 qualified.
