Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official Micro Commercial Components documentation to confirm electrical ratings and package type. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards if required by the design specifications. Purchase only from authorized distributors to guarantee authenticity and traceability, as counterfeit components pose significant reliability risks.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a 20V blocking voltage and 30A continuous current capability are required. The ITO-220AB through-hole package facilitates heat dissipation via direct mounting to a heatsink. Consider the 0.60V forward voltage drop for efficiency calculations in low-voltage applications.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to the MBR3020FCT through MBR30100FCT series of Schottky rectifiers manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. The series offers various voltage ratings from 20V to 100V while maintaining a consistent 30A current handling capability in the same physical package form factor.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other MCC parts in the MBR30xxFCT series for different voltage ratings. Verify that substitute components match the 30A current rating, 20V minimum reverse voltage, and ITO-220AB pinout configuration.

Diode Arrays FAQ

What is the maximum DC reverse current at rated voltage?

The maximum DC reverse current is 0.1mA at 25°C and 20mA at 125°C.

Does the standard BP suffix indicate halogen-free status?

No, the standard BP suffix indicates bulk packaging and RoHS compliance. A separate -HF suffix must be added to designate halogen-free material.

How does the forward current change with case temperature?

The average forward current requires derating as the case temperature increases beyond 100°C, as shown in the manufacturer's forward current derating curve.
