MBR50020CTR

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBR50020CTR is a silicon power Schottky diode module manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor. It features a Twin Tower package with screw mount installation. The device supports an average forward current of 500 A per package and offers a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 20 V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 0.75 V per leg at Tj = 100 °C and a thermal resistance junction-case of 0.30 °C/W per leg. The module operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• High surge capability for robust performance under transient conditions
• Twin Tower package design for efficient mounting and heat dissipation
• Not ESD sensitive, simplifying handling procedures

Diode Arrays Applications

• High-current DC-DC converters
• Free-wheeling rectification in motor drives
• Low-voltage high-amperage power supply outputs

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CTR' against official documentation to confirm terminal configuration details, as datasheets indicate reversed leads for 'R' devices. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest environmental declarations. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid traceability for this discontinued or legacy component series.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this module when designing circuits requiring 500 A continuous current at low voltage drops around 20 V reverse blocking. The 0.30 °C/W thermal resistance allows effective heat sinking. Compare against the MBR50030CTR if higher voltage tolerance is needed while maintaining identical current and thermal characteristics.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This component belongs to the MBR500 series of silicon power Schottky diodes from GeneSiC Semiconductor. The series covers voltage ratings from 20 V to 40 V. The Twin Tower package is standard across the family, providing consistent mechanical and thermal interfaces for high-power industrial applications.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

The MBR50030CTR serves as a direct functional substitute with identical current and thermal ratings but a higher 30 V reverse voltage rating. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution.
