MBR20100CTB-BP

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBR20100CTB-BP is a Schottky Barrier Rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a maximum recurrent peak reverse voltage of 100V and an average forward current capability of 20A at a case temperature of 120°C. The device utilizes a TO-220AB package with a thermal resistance of 2.0°C/W from junction to case. Maximum instantaneous forward voltage is rated at 0.85V at 10A and 0.95V at 20A, both measured at a junction temperature of 25°C. Peak forward surge current reaches 150A for an 8.3ms half-sine wave. Operating junction and storage temperature ranges extend from -55°C to +150°C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official MCC documentation to confirm compliance attributes. The standard part number includes a "-BP" designation indicating lead-free finish and RoHS compliance. Halogen-free variants require adding an "-HF" suffix to the base part number. Purchase only from authorized distributors to ensure genuine parts with full traceability and warranty coverage.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a 100V blocking voltage and 20A continuous current are required in a through-hole configuration. The TO-220AB package offers a thermal resistance of 2.0°C/W, suitable for applications requiring efficient heat dissipation without active cooling. Ensure the operating junction temperature remains within the specified -55°C to +150°C range for reliable performance.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to the MBR20100CTB series of Schottky barrier rectifiers produced by Micro Commercial Components. The series is designed for general-purpose rectification where low forward voltage and high efficiency are critical. The TO-220AB package allows for direct mounting to heatsinks, facilitating thermal management in medium-power electronic designs.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference pinout and electrical ratings with potential substitutes. Verify that alternative components support the same 100V reverse voltage and 20A forward current specifications. Ensure the replacement package matches the TO-220AB footprint for mechanical compatibility.
