MBR20100CT-1

Diode Arrays Overview

The Vishay MBR20100CT-1 is a center-tap Schottky rectifier featuring two silicon elements in a TO-262 (D2PAK) package. It provides a maximum average forward current of 20 A per device and supports peak repetitive reverse voltages up to 100 V. The component operates reliably at junction temperatures reaching 150 °C, with a typical forward voltage drop of 0.70 V at 10 A and 125 °C. It exhibits low reverse leakage current and high frequency operation capabilities.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the exact package style and termination finish. The -1 suffix indicates the TO-262 package configuration. Ensure compliance requirements such as RoHS and halogen-free status match the project specifications by checking the designated PbF or P suffixes provided in the ordering information table.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common cathode configuration is required for center-tapped circuits. The TO-262 package offers a balance of thermal performance and mounting flexibility compared to surface mount alternatives. Consider the 150 °C junction temperature rating for high-temperature environments where standard silicon devices may fail. Verify that the 850 A non-repetitive surge current capability meets the system's transient load requirements.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to the Vishay MBR20...CT series of high-power Schottky rectifiers. The family includes variants with different voltage ratings, specifically 80 V, 90 V, and 100 V options. The MBR20100CT-1 represents the 100 V rated version within the TO-262 package lineup, sharing core electrical characteristics with its lower voltage counterparts while maintaining the same current handling capacity.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with MBRB20100CTPbF for the D2PAK equivalent. Verify pinout compatibility between TO-262 and alternative packages before substitution.
