MBR20H100CT-E1

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBR20H100CT-E1 is a high voltage dual Schottky rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features a common cathode configuration with two independent diode legs housed in TO-220-3 packages. The device supports a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and provides an average rectified forward current of 10 A per leg, totaling 20 A. Maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop is rated at 0.77 V at +25°C for each leg. The component operates within a junction temperature range up to +175°C and includes guard-ring technology for stress protection.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Lead-free finish compliant with RoHS directives

Diode Arrays Applications

• Power supply output rectification
• Power management circuits
• Instrumentation systems

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant required, as the datasheet lists both standard TO-220-3 (marked T-E1) and low-profile TO-220F-3 (marked TF-E1). Confirm that the E1 suffix denotes RoHS compliance and lead-free construction. Ensure thermal management aligns with the specified junction-to-case resistance values for the selected package type during installation.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for medium voltage applications requiring low switching losses and minimal noise generation. Evaluate thermal constraints carefully, as the maximum average forward current decreases significantly as case temperature rises above +162°C. Consider the TO-220F-3 option if space limitations exist, noting its slightly higher thermal resistance compared to the standard TO-220-3 package.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the MBR20H100C series of high voltage power Schottky rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated. The series is engineered for efficiency in high-frequency circuits where low forward voltage and fast switching characteristics are critical. The E1 suffix specifically identifies the RoHS-compliant, lead-free manufacturing version of the device.
