MBR20150CT

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBR20150CT is a high-temperature Schottky barrier rectifier diode manufactured by Diotec Semiconductor. It features a dual common cathode configuration with a maximum average forward rectified current (IFAV) of 2 x 10 A per diode. The device supports a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 150 V. Forward voltage characteristics are specified at less than 0.85 V at 10 A and 25°C, rising to less than 0.95 V at 20 A under the same conditions. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -50°C to +175°C and includes a typical thermal resistance from junction to case of 1.5 K/W.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• High-temperature operation capability up to 175°C junction temperature
• Dual common cathode configuration for efficient power conversion
• Low forward voltage drop to minimize conduction losses
• Robust surge current handling for transient protection

Diode Arrays Applications

• DC-DC converters in industrial power supplies
• Free-wheeling diodes in motor drive circuits
• Output rectification in high-efficiency power adapters
• Battery charging systems requiring high reliability

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type and pinout configuration against your PCB footprint before ordering. Confirm that the thermal management design accommodates the 1.5 K/W junction-to-case thermal resistance to maintain safe operating temperatures. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed the 150 V repetitive peak reverse voltage rating under all transient conditions.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common cathode arrangement is required for synchronous rectification or free-wheeling applications. The 150 V rating suits medium-voltage DC bus systems. Consider the 175°C junction temperature limit for environments with limited airflow or high ambient heat. Compare total power dissipation against alternative packages if space constraints dictate a different thermal solution.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the MBR20100CT through MBR20200CT series of high-temperature Schottky barrier rectifiers. The series shares identical physical dimensions and thermal characteristics, differing primarily in their reverse voltage ratings. This specific model provides a balanced compromise between voltage blocking capability and forward conduction efficiency for general-purpose industrial electronics.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' dual Schottky diodes rated for 150 V and 20 A total current. Verify that substitute components match the DO-203AB (TO-220AB Dual) package dimensions and lead spacing. Ensure replacement parts offer comparable reverse leakage current specifications at elevated temperatures.
