MBR2060CTL

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBR2060CTL is a Schottky rectifier diode array manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions, designed for high-speed switching applications. It features a center tap configuration with two independent legs housed in a TO-220AB through-hole package. The device supports a DC blocking voltage of 60V and provides an average rectified forward current of 2 x 10A. Each leg exhibits a typical forward voltage drop of 690mV at 10A. The component operates at junction temperatures up to 125°C and utilizes high-purity epoxy encapsulation for mechanical strength.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Center tap configuration enabling dual-leg operation
• Low forward voltage drop for high efficiency
• Guard ring construction for enhanced ruggedness
• High frequency operation capability

Diode Arrays Applications

• Switching power supplies
• Converters
• Free-wheeling diodes
• Reverse battery protection

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CTL against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm the center tap configuration and pinout compatibility. Ensure the TO-220AB package dimensions match the target PCB footprint requirements. Confirm that the 60V reverse voltage rating aligns with the peak inverse voltage conditions of the intended circuit design before finalizing procurement.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-diode arrangement with a common cathode is required for synchronous rectification or freewheeling duties. The low forward voltage characteristic makes it suitable for improving overall system efficiency in low-voltage, high-current applications. Consider the thermal performance within the TO-220AB package relative to the expected continuous current load.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the MBR series of Schottky barrier rectifiers from SMC Diode Solutions. It is distinct from single-diode variants like the MBR2060CT due to its integrated dual-leg structure. The series is characterized by high purity epoxy encapsulation and guard ring technology, ensuring reliability in demanding electronic environments compared to standard discrete diodes.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must maintain the 60V rating, 2x10A current capacity, and TO-220AB center-tap package. Verify electrical equivalence and pinout compatibility with any alternative dual Schottky arrays before implementation.
