MBR20150CTH-BP

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBR20150CTH-BP is a dual common cathode Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It utilizes silicon technology and is housed in a TO-220AB package. The device provides an average rectified forward current of 10 amperes per diode, totaling 20 amperes per device. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage rating of 150 volts. Electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 0.85 volts at 10 amperes and a typical junction capacitance of 215 picofarads. Thermal resistance from junction to case is specified at 1.5 degrees Celsius per watt.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix when purchasing components. The standard designation includes a -BP suffix indicating lead-free and RoHS compliance. An additional -HF suffix may be required if halogen-free materials are necessary for the assembly process. Confirm that the received parts match the exact part number to ensure correct voltage ratings and electrical parameters.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring a dual common cathode configuration with a 150-volt blocking capability. The TO-220AB package facilitates mounting on heatsinks due to its isolated case design. Ensure the thermal management system accounts for the junction-to-case thermal resistance to maintain safe operating temperatures under continuous load conditions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to the MBR20100CTH through MBR20200CTH series produced by Micro Commercial Components. The series covers various voltage ratings within the same physical footprint and electrical current specifications. The MBR20150CTH variant specifically targets applications requiring 150-volt reverse voltage tolerance while maintaining the shared 20-ampere total current capacity of the family.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include the MBR20100CTH-BP and MBR20200CTH-BP. These alternatives share identical pinouts, packaging, and current ratings but differ in their maximum repetitive reverse voltage specifications.
