MBR2050CT

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBR2050CT is a dual common cathode Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by onsemi. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 50 V and a continuous forward current rating of 20 A. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 0.95 V at rated current and a maximum reverse leakage current of 100 uA. It supports a surge current of 150 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -65 °C to +150 °C. The component is housed in a TO-220-3 through-hole package.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Utilizes Schottky barrier principle with platinum barrier metal for low forward voltage and high efficiency.
• Incorporates guardring structure for enhanced overvoltage stress protection.
• Features dual common cathode configuration suitable for free-wheeling and polarity protection applications.

Diode Arrays Applications

• Free-wheeling rectification circuits
• Polarity protection systems

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation on the component marking and datasheet header. Confirm the specific electrical parameters match the required circuit design, particularly the 50 V reverse voltage and 20 A current ratings. Ensure the TO-220-3 package type aligns with the thermal and mechanical constraints of the target assembly.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring low power loss and high efficiency in rectification roles. The dual common cathode arrangement allows for use in full-wave configurations without additional components. Consider the thermal management requirements associated with the TO-220-3 package for sustained 20 A operation.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to the MBR20xxCT series of 20 Ampere Schottky Barrier Rectifiers. The series offers various reverse voltage options, including 35 V, 45 V, and 60 V variants, all sharing the same physical package and general performance characteristics. The MBR2050CT specifically addresses designs requiring a 50 V blocking capability.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include MBR2035CT (35 V), MBR2045CT (45 V), and MBR2060CT (60 V) from the same family, provided the voltage rating meets or exceeds the application requirement. Other manufacturers producing equivalent 20 A, 50 V dual Schottky rectifiers in TO-220 packages may also serve as alternatives.
