MBR1590CTH

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBR1590CTH is a Schottky barrier rectifier from the Taiwan Semiconductor MBR1535CT series, housed in a TO-220AB package. It features dual common-cathode elements with a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 90V and an average forward current rating of 15A. The device supports a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and includes AEC-Q101 qualification indicated by the 'H' suffix.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Guard ring structure provides enhanced overvoltage protection and ruggedness
• Low power loss and high efficiency due to metal silicon junction conduction
• High surge current capability suitable for demanding transient conditions
• Halogen-free composition compliant with IEC 61249-2-21 standards

Diode Arrays Applications

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

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code explicitly contains the 'H' suffix to confirm AEC-Q101 automotive qualification status. Ensure the package matches the specified TO-220AB form factor and confirm compliance with RoHS directives and halogen-free requirements as stated in the datasheet specifications.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a 90V reverse voltage rating and 15A continuous current handling. The dual common-cathode configuration allows for center-tapped transformer circuits or full-wave rectification. Consider the thermal resistance values when designing heat dissipation strategies for high ambient temperatures.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the MBR15xCT series manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor. The series covers reverse voltages from 35V to 150V while maintaining a consistent 15A forward current rating across all variants. The 'H' designation specifically denotes AEC-Q101 qualification within this product family.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other MBR1590CT variants from different manufacturers ensuring identical TO-220AB packaging and electrical ratings. Verify if AEC-Q101 qualification is required; standard MBR1590CT parts without the 'H' suffix may lack this specific automotive reliability certification.
