MBR30120CT

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBR30120CT is a Schottky rectifying diode array manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions. It features a common cathode configuration with two individual diodes housed in a single TO-220-3 package. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 120 V and an average forward current of 30 A per diode. It utilizes through-hole mounting technology suitable for high-power applications requiring efficient rectification.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Schottky barrier construction for low forward voltage drop
• Common cathode dual diode configuration
• High surge current capability

Diode Arrays Applications

• DC to DC converters
• Free-wheeling rectification

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as Sensitron Semiconductor is also listed as a source for this part number. Confirm the package type matches the required TO-220-3 footprint and pinout before integration. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards if applicable to the final assembly requirements.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual Schottky rectifier with common cathode topology is required. The 120 V rating and 30 A current capacity make it suitable for medium-to-high power supply designs. Consider thermal management due to the through-hole package constraints compared to surface mount alternatives.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the MBR series of Schottky rectifiers from SMC Diode Solutions. It is designed for general-purpose rectification in power electronics. The TO-220-3 package provides robust mechanical stability and heat dissipation capabilities for industrial environments.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 30A 120V common cathode Schottky arrays in TO-220 packages. Verify electrical parameters such as forward voltage and reverse leakage current match the original design specifications.
