MBR40150CT-BP

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBR40150CT-BP is a dual common cathode Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features a TO-220AB package with an average rectified forward current of 40 Amperes per device (20 Amperes per diode) and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 150 Volts. The component exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 0.85 Volts at 20 Amperes and 25°C, with a non-repetitive peak surge current rating of 300 Amperes. Thermal resistance from junction to case is specified at 2°C/W, supporting operation within a temperature range of -55°C to 175°C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm compliance requirements. The standard BP suffix indicates bulk packaging containing fifty pieces per tube. Confirm that the halogen-free variant requires the additional HF suffix as specified in the ordering information section of the datasheet.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high efficiency and low power loss in high-frequency switching environments. Ensure the thermal management system can maintain the junction temperature below the maximum limit given the 2°C/W thermal resistance. Verify that the circuit's peak reverse voltage does not exceed the 150V rating under all operating conditions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to the MBR series of Schottky barrier rectifiers produced by Micro Commercial Components. It utilizes metal silicon junction technology for majority carrier conduction. The product line is designed for applications demanding high current capability and fast switching speeds, distinguishing it from standard PN junction rectifiers.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference electrical parameters such as forward voltage, reverse leakage current, and package dimensions when evaluating alternative components. Ensure any substitute part supports the required 40A average current and 150V reverse voltage ratings within the same TO-220AB form factor.
