MBR20150CT-Y

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBR20150CT-Y is a dual common cathode Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 20 amperes and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 150 volts. The device utilizes a TO-220AB package with matte tin-plated leads for through-hole mounting. Electrical characteristics include a low instantaneous forward voltage and high surge current capability, designed to minimize power loss in switching applications.

• Low power loss design ensures high conversion efficiency
• High surge current capability supports demanding transient loads

Diode Arrays Applications

• DC-to-DC converters
• Free-wheeling diodes in inductive circuits
• Power supply output rectification

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm mechanical and environmental specifications. Ensure the component meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU compliance requirements if halogen-free status is required for the assembly process. Cross-reference the marking code on the physical device with the documentation to prevent counterfeit substitution.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common cathode configuration is necessary for synchronous rectification or bridgeless PFC topologies. The 150-volt rating suits low-voltage DC bus applications requiring fast recovery characteristics. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the 20-ampere continuous current rating and the thermal resistance of the TO-220AB package under expected operating conditions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the MBR series of Schottky barrier rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. The series covers various voltage and current ratings using silicon technology. The dual common cathode variant integrates two independent rectifying elements within a single package, sharing a common cathode terminal to reduce board space and simplify circuit layout compared to discrete solutions.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 20A current rating, 150V reverse voltage, and TO-220AB package. Verify that substitute parts offer comparable forward voltage drop and reverse leakage current specifications to maintain system efficiency.
