Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the required specifications. The standard suffix indicates compliance with lead-free finish and RoHS directives. Confirm the specific part number variant against official MCC documentation to ensure correct voltage ratings and packaging details before procurement.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a 16A continuous current rating with a 35V reverse voltage block. Ensure the thermal management strategy accommodates the specified thermal resistance from junction to case. Verify that the operating environment stays within the defined storage and junction temperature limits for reliable performance.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to the MBR1620CT through MBR1660CT series of Schottky Barrier Rectifiers. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 20V to 60V while maintaining a consistent 16A current handling capability. All variants share the same TO-220AB physical footprint and general feature set.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other MCC parts in the MBR16xxCT series for different voltage ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal requirements when substituting with components from other manufacturers.
