MBR2080CT

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBR2080CT is a dual common cathode Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions. It features an 80 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage and supports a total average forward rectified current of 20 A. The device utilizes a metal-silicon junction for majority carrier conduction, resulting in low forward voltage drop and high switching efficiency. It is housed in a TO-220AB package with an isolated junction for direct heatsink mounting.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Dual common cathode configuration for two independent rectifying elements within a single package
• Metal silicon junction construction enabling majority carrier conduction for fast switching
• Guard ring design incorporated to provide protection against overvoltage stress

Diode Arrays Applications

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

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source when sourcing this component, as multiple vendors produce the MBR2080CT designation. Confirm that the received unit matches the TO-220AB package style and electrical ratings specified in the official datasheet. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if required by the final assembly specifications.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a dual rectifier solution in a standard through-hole package. The 80 V rating suits low voltage DC-DC converters and power supplies. Consider the thermal resistance of the TO-220AB case for heat dissipation requirements in high current applications.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the MBR20 series of Schottky barrier rectifiers from SMC Diode Solutions. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 20 V to 100 V with consistent current handling capabilities. The MBR2080CT specifically addresses applications needing dual polarity or bridge-like functionality in a compact form factor.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with LMBR2080CTG from LRC or VS-MBR2080CT-1-M3 from Vishay for equivalent performance. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substituting in existing PCB layouts.
