MBR20100CTP

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBR20100CTP is a 20A Schottky Barrier Rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features a dual common cathode configuration within an ITO-220S package, providing two electrically isolated legs. Each leg supports a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 100V and an average rectified output current of 10A (20A total). The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 0.85V at 10A and 25°C, with a non-repetitive peak forward surge current rating of 130A. Operating temperatures range from -65°C to +175°C.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• ITO-220S heat sink tab is electrically isolated from the cathode for safe mounting.
• Schottky barrier chip construction enables soft, fast switching capability.
• Low forward voltage drop reduces conduction losses.
• UL approved in accordance with UL 1557.

Diode Arrays Applications

• Low voltage, high frequency inverters
• Free wheeling applications
• Polarity protection circuits

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation before procurement. Confirm that the 'P' suffix corresponds to tube packaging containing 50 pieces per tube as specified in the datasheet. Ensure the component meets RoHS requirements if applicable to your manufacturing standards. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet revision to confirm mechanical dimensions and electrical characteristics remain unchanged.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when an electrically isolated heat sink tab is required for thermal management without compromising electrical isolation. The dual common cathode design simplifies circuit layout for center-tapped or full-wave rectification. Verify that the 100V reverse voltage rating exceeds the peak inverse voltage in the target application. Consider the 130A surge current capability for transient load conditions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the MBR20100 series of Schottky Barrier Rectifiers produced by Diodes Incorporated. The series utilizes platinum barrier metal technology to achieve low forward voltage and high efficiency. The ITO-220S package variant specifically provides an isolated tab, distinguishing it from standard ITO-220AB packages where the tab is typically connected to one of the terminals.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Check for equivalent parts with matching electrical ratings and package dimensions. Verify if alternative manufacturers offer components with electrically isolated tabs in the ITO-220S form factor. Ensure any substitute maintains the same reverse voltage and current capabilities.
