Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official MCC documentation to confirm compliance status and packaging details. The standard bulk packing configuration consists of 50 pieces per tube. Ensure procurement channels are authorized distributors to guarantee genuine parts with full traceability and adherence to quality standards.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring robust transient protection and high current handling capabilities. The TO-220AB package facilitates efficient heat dissipation suitable for thermal management requirements. Verify that the 40V reverse voltage rating aligns with the circuit's peak operating conditions and surge expectations.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the MBR2020CT through MBR20100CT series of Schottky Barrier Rectifiers. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 20V to 100V while maintaining a consistent 20A average forward current capability across all variants.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include MBR2030CT and MBR2045CT. These alternatives share identical package dimensions and current ratings but differ in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage specifications.

Diode Arrays FAQ

What is the maximum thermal resistance from junction to case?

The maximum thermal resistance from junction to case is specified as 2.0°C/W.

How does the forward voltage drop vary with current?

The maximum instantaneous forward voltage is 0.70V at an average forward current of 10A and increases to 0.80V at 20A.

Is the device halogen-free by default?

Standard versions are not explicitly stated as halogen-free; the '-HF' suffix must be added to the part number to request halogen-free availability.
