MBR20020CTR

Diode Arrays Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor MBR20020CTR is a silicon power Schottky diode module featuring a Twin Tower package. It provides a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 20 V and an average forward current rating of 200 A per package. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 700 mV at 25 °C and supports a junction temperature range from -55 °C to +150 °C. Thermal resistance from junction to case is 0.45 °C/W per leg, with a peak forward surge current capability of 1500 A.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• High surge current capability for robust operation under transient conditions
• Twin Tower package design for efficient thermal management
• Low forward voltage drop to minimize conduction losses
• Not sensitive to electrostatic discharge

Diode Arrays Applications

• DC-DC converters
• Free-wheeling rectification in motor drives
• Power supply output rectification
• Induction heating circuits

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CTR' against official documentation to confirm lead configuration, as datasheets indicate 'R' devices have reversed leads. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer specifications before integration. Ensure mounting hardware matches the Twin Tower screw mount requirements. Validate thermal interface material compatibility with the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring low forward voltage and high surge tolerance within a 20 V blocking limit. The Twin Tower package facilitates direct heatsink mounting. Compare thermal resistance values against system cooling capabilities. Consider the 1500 A surge rating for inrush protection needs. Verify operating temperature ranges align with environmental constraints.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This module belongs to the MBR200 series of silicon power Schottky diodes from GeneSiC Semiconductor. The series includes variants with reverse voltages ranging from 20 V to 40 V. All models share similar thermal characteristics and package dimensions, differing primarily in voltage ratings. The Twin Tower format is standard for this product line.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MBR20020CT variants from the same series. Verify pinout orientation if replacing 'CT' with 'CTR' types due to potential lead reversal. Cross-reference thermal resistance and forward voltage specifications to ensure equivalent performance in existing designs.
