MBR2060CT

Diode Arrays Overview

The Littelfuse MBR2060CT is a Schottky Barrier Rectifier featuring a common cathode configuration within a TO-220AB package. It provides a total average forward current of 20 A, distributed as 10 A per leg at a case temperature of 100°C. The device supports a peak inverse voltage of 60 V and withstands a non-repetitive surge current of 180 A. Forward voltage drop ranges from 0.70 V to 0.95 V depending on junction temperature and current. Operating junction temperatures span from -55°C to +150°C with a thermal resistance of 2.3 °C/W.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer revision date against the latest official Littelfuse documentation before finalizing procurement decisions. Confirm that the TO-220AB package dimensions and pinout align precisely with the target PCB footprint requirements. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards if required by the end application specifications.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring low leakage and high-frequency operation under high-temperature conditions. The 60 V rating and 20 A total current capacity make it appropriate for general commercial applications. Evaluate thermal management strategies carefully, as the device relies on the TO-220AB case for heat dissipation during continuous DC operation.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the MBR series of Schottky Barrier Rectifiers manufactured by Littelfuse. The naming convention indicates a 20 A forward current rating and a 60 V reverse voltage rating. The 'CT' suffix denotes the common cathode configuration housed in a standard TO-220AB plastic package.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering identical 2x 10A, 60V common cathode Schottky rectifiers in TO-220AB packages. Verify electrical parameters such as forward voltage and thermal resistance match the original design constraints before substitution.
