MBR20H100CT

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBR20H100CT is a silicon Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor. It features a dual common cathode configuration housed in an ITO-220AB (TO-220) through-hole package. The device is rated for a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and an average forward current of 20 A per diode. It exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 0.97 V at the rated current and a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 uA at 100 V. The component supports a peak forward surge current of 150 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Dual common cathode configuration for efficient bridge or center-tapped applications
• Metal-silicon junction construction utilizing majority carrier conduction
• Guardring design provides enhanced overvoltage protection stability
• Compliant with UL flammability classification 94V-0 standards

Diode Arrays Applications

• AC/DC switching power supply adapters
• General-purpose freewheeling diodes in DC-DC converters
• Low-voltage high-frequency rectification circuits

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix on the ordering part number, as variations such as 'G' indicate halogen-free compliance while 'H' denotes AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Confirm the package type matches the required PCB footprint, typically ITO-220AB for this series. Ensure the selected variant meets the necessary environmental regulations for the target market before finalizing procurement orders.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a 100 V rating and 20 A continuous current capacity are required in a through-hole format. The low forward voltage drop contributes to reduced power loss and improved system efficiency compared to standard PN junction rectifiers. Consider the thermal management requirements associated with the TO-220 package for high-current applications.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to the MBR20HxxCT series of high-efficiency Schottky rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. The series is designed to replace traditional fast recovery diodes in applications where lower forward voltage and faster switching speeds are critical. The 'H' designation typically indicates specific reliability or automotive-grade variants within the product line.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with Vishay MBR20H100CT or onsemi MBR20H100CTT4G equivalents. Verify that substitute components maintain identical pinout configurations and electrical ratings, particularly the 100 V reverse voltage and 20 A current limits, to ensure circuit compatibility.
