MBR60020CT

Diode Arrays Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor MBR60020CT is a silicon power Schottky diode module rated for a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 20 V and an average forward current of 600 A per package. It features a twin tower configuration with a maximum forward voltage of 0.75 V per leg at Tj = 100 °C. The device supports a peak forward surge current of 4000 A per leg and operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to 150 °C. Thermal resistance from junction to case is 0.28 °C/W per leg.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• High surge capability designed for demanding power applications
• Twin tower package structure for efficient thermal management
• Not sensitive to electrostatic discharge

Diode Arrays Applications

• Power supply output rectification
• Free-wheeling diodes in DC-DC converters
• Inverter circuits in motor drives

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (CT vs CTR) to confirm terminal orientation, as the datasheet indicates reversed leads for 'R' devices. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure thermal interface materials are compatible with the specified operating temperature range up to 150 °C for reliable long-term performance.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a 20 V rating is required for high-current applications. Compare thermal resistance values against system heat sink capabilities to ensure junction temperatures remain within limits. Consider the twin tower package dimensions for PCB layout constraints and verify that the 4000 A surge rating exceeds expected inrush currents in the target circuit design.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This module belongs to the MBR600 series, which includes variants ranging from 20 V to 40 V reverse voltage ratings. All models in this series share the same 600 A average forward current capacity and similar thermal characteristics. The series utilizes silicon technology optimized for low forward voltage drop and high efficiency in power conversion systems.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include MBR60030CT and MBR60040CT for higher voltage requirements. Verify pinout compatibility if replacing 'CT' with 'CTR' variants due to reversed lead configurations.
