MBR1640FCT-BP

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBR1640FCT-BP is a silicon Schottky rectifier from the MCC MBR1620FCT series, rated for 16A average forward current and 40V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage. It utilizes an ITO-220AB (TO-220AB) through-hole package with a maximum thermal resistance of 2.0°C/W junction-to-case. The device features a low instantaneous forward voltage of 0.55V at 8.0A per leg and supports a peak forward surge current of 150A. Operating and storage temperature ranges extend from -50°C to +125°C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify authenticity by purchasing directly from Micro Commercial Components or authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit parts. Confirm the suffix indicates compliance status. Ensure the component meets specific environmental requirements such as halogen-free specifications if needed by adding the appropriate suffix.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust surge handling and efficient rectification at moderate voltages. The TO-220AB package facilitates effective heat dissipation for continuous 16A operation. Consider the 40V rating against circuit peak reverse voltages to ensure safe operating margins under all conditions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the MBR16xxFCT family of 16 Amp Schottky Rectifiers, covering voltage ratings from 20V to 100V. The series shares common physical dimensions and thermal characteristics while varying in reverse voltage capabilities. The MBR1640FCT specifically addresses the 40V requirement within this standardized lineup.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 16A, 40V Schottky rectifiers in the TO-220AB package. Verify that replacement devices match the 0.55V forward voltage at 8A and the 2.0°C/W thermal resistance to maintain equivalent performance and thermal management.
