MBR500150CTR

Diode Arrays Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor MBR500150CTR is a silicon power Schottky diode module designed for high-current applications. It features a Twin Tower package with an average forward current rating of 500 A per leg and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 150 V. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 0.88 V at 250 A and a thermal resistance (junction-case) of 0.30 °C/W per leg. The module supports a peak forward surge current of 3500 A.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'CTR' against official documentation, as it indicates reversed leads compared to the standard 'CT' variant. Confirm that the component is sourced directly from authorized channels to ensure authenticity. Check for RoHS compliance status in the latest datasheet revision. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability records for this high-power discrete module.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this module when a 500 A continuous current rating and 150 V blocking voltage are required. The low thermal resistance of 0.30 °C/W facilitates efficient heat dissipation in compact designs. Consider the Twin Tower package for screw-mount installation. Verify lead configuration requirements, as the 'CTR' suffix denotes reversed leads compared to standard versions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This component belongs to the MBR500 series of silicon power Schottky diodes. The series includes variants ranging from 150 V to 200 V reverse voltage ratings. All models share the same Twin Tower package and 500 A current capacity, differing primarily in voltage specifications and lead configurations.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MBR500 series modules with identical 150 V ratings, such as MBR500150CT. Ensure the replacement matches the 500 A current rating and 0.30 °C/W thermal resistance. Verify lead orientation compatibility if replacing the CTR variant with a non-reversed version.
