MBR40030CT

Diode Arrays Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor MBR40030CT is a silicon power Schottky diode module rated for a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 30 V and an average forward current of 400 A per package. It features a Twin Tower package with screw mount installation. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 0.70 V per leg at 25 °C and a thermal resistance (junction-case) of 0.35 °C/W per leg. The module supports a peak forward surge current of 3000 A.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and manufacturer documentation before procurement, as component specifications may vary by production batch. Confirm that the Twin Tower package dimensions and terminal configurations match your mechanical design requirements. Ensure that thermal management solutions are adequate for the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance to maintain safe operating temperatures during high-current operation.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a 30 V blocking voltage and 400 A continuous current rating are required in a Twin Tower form factor. Consider the 0.35 °C/W thermal resistance for heat sink calculations. Verify compatibility with existing PCB or chassis mounting hardware due to the specific screw mount style. Compare against similar models in the MBR400 series if different voltage ratings such as 20 V or 40 V are needed.

Diode Arrays Part Context

The MBR40030CT belongs to the MBR400 series of silicon power Schottky diodes manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor. This series includes variants with reverse voltages ranging from 20 V to 40 V. All models in this family share the same Twin Tower package and similar thermal characteristics, differing primarily in their voltage ratings and specific part numbering suffixes.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same series include the MBR40020CT and MBR40040CT, provided the voltage ratings align with the circuit requirements. Ensure that any substitute maintains the 400 A current rating and Twin Tower package compatibility.
