MBR1620FCT-BP

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBR1620FCT-BP is a silicon Schottky rectifier from Micro Commercial Components, rated for 20V maximum recurrent peak reverse voltage and 16A average forward current. It utilizes an ITO-220AB through-hole package with a maximum thermal resistance of 2.0°C/W junction to case. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -50°C to +125°C and supports a peak forward surge current of 150A. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 0.75V at 8.0A per leg and a maximum DC reverse current of 0.2mA at 25°C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official MCC documentation to confirm compliance attributes. The standard BP designation indicates bulk packaging. Confirm halogen-free status if required by checking for the additional HF suffix. Ensure procurement channels are authorized distributors to guarantee genuine parts and full traceability as mandated by manufacturer policy.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a low forward voltage drop is critical for system efficiency. The 16A rating suits moderate current applications requiring robust surge handling. Verify that the 20V blocking voltage aligns with the circuit's peak reverse voltage requirements. Consider the ITO-220AB package dimensions for adequate thermal management and mechanical mounting constraints.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the MBR16xxxFCT series, which covers voltage ratings from 20V to 100V. All variants share identical physical dimensions and thermal characteristics while differing in reverse voltage capabilities. The FCT suffix denotes the specific ITO-220AB leaded package configuration used across this product family.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same MCC series include MBR1630FCT-BP and MBR1640FCT-BP, provided the higher voltage ratings do not conflict with design margins. Cross-manufacturer replacements must match the 16A current rating, 2.0°C/W thermal resistance, and ITO-220AB footprint.

Diode Arrays FAQ

What is the maximum thermal resistance from junction to case?

The maximum thermal resistance is 2.0°C/W.

Does the standard MBR1620FCT-BP come in a halogen-free version?

No, the standard version is not explicitly stated as halogen-free. Halogen-free availability requires adding the '-HF' suffix to the part number.

What is the peak forward surge current rating?

The device supports a peak forward surge current of 150A for an 8.3ms half sine-wave pulse.
