Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm compliance requirements. The E3 suffix indicates RoHS compliance and meets JESD 201 class 1A whisker test standards. Confirm that the tube packaging matches the required delivery mode for your assembly process. Cross-reference the document number 88673 to ensure you are reviewing the latest revision of the datasheet before finalizing procurement specifications.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring a dual common-cathode configuration with a 100 V blocking voltage. Ensure the thermal management strategy accounts for the typical thermal resistance of 2.0 °C/W per diode in the TO-220AB package. Validate that the operating junction temperature remains within the specified -65 °C to +175 °C range under all expected load conditions and ambient temperatures.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the MBR20HxxCT series of dual common-cathode Schottky rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent current handling capabilities. The MBR20H100CT specifically addresses applications needing 100 V isolation. The E3/45 designation specifies the lead-free, RoHS-compliant version packaged in tubes for through-hole mounting.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include MBR20H50CT-E3/45 and MBR20H200CT-E3/45, which share identical pinouts and thermal characteristics but differ in voltage ratings. Verify that the alternative voltage rating aligns with the circuit's peak reverse voltage requirements.
