• Features a molded epoxy case rated for UL recognition with flammability classification 94V-0
• Designed specifically for use in free wheeling diodes and polarity protection circuits

Diode Arrays Applications

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

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G' indicates RoHS compliance when sourcing components. Confirm the TO-220-3 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the thermal management design accounts for the 20 A continuous current rating to maintain junction temperatures within the specified operational limits during high-load scenarios.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high efficiency at low output voltages where forward voltage drop is critical. The 40 V reverse voltage rating suits 12 V or 24 V DC systems. Consider the TO-220-3 package for applications requiring robust heat dissipation without additional heatsinking solutions under moderate load conditions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the MBR20 series of Schottky rectifiers from Comchip Technology. It shares the same physical package and general specifications as variants with different voltage ratings, such as the MBR2030CT-G (30 V) and MBR2060CT-G (60 V). The series is characterized by high current handling capabilities in a standard through-hole format.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' 20 A, 40 V Schottky diodes in TO-220-3 packages. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution. Ensure replacement parts meet the same reverse leakage current and forward voltage specifications for circuit integrity.
