MBR16100CTH

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBR16100CTH is a Schottky barrier rectifier diode array manufactured by onsemi. It features a common cathode configuration with two independent elements housed in a TO-220-3 package. The device is rated for a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and an average forward rectified current of 8 A per element. It utilizes metal semiconductor technology to achieve low forward voltage drop and high switching efficiency, suitable for switch-mode power supplies.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Schottky barrier construction for low forward voltage drop
• Common cathode dual-element configuration
• High thermal performance via TO-220-3 leaded package

Diode Arrays Applications

• Switch-mode power supplies (SMPS)
• Free-wheeling diodes in DC-DC converters
• Polarity protection circuits

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'H' against the official datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and RoHS status. Ensure the TO-220-3 package dimensions match the target PCB footprint. Confirm that the 100V rating and 8A current capacity meet the circuit's peak surge requirements.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when low forward voltage drop is critical for efficiency at moderate voltages. The TO-220-3 package supports higher current handling compared to surface-mount options. Verify junction temperature limits under expected load conditions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to onsemi's MBR series of Schottky rectifiers. It provides a robust solution for medium-power applications requiring fast recovery characteristics. The common cathode arrangement simplifies circuit design for bridge or full-wave configurations.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Substitutes must match the 100V reverse voltage, 8A current rating, and TO-220-3 package. Verify equivalent forward voltage and reverse leakage specifications.
