MBR840RL

Single Diodes Overview

The MBR840RL is a Schottky rectifier diode manufactured by onsemi, housed in an axial DO-201AA (DO-27) package. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 8A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 40V. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to 125°C. Designed for low-loss high-frequency applications, it utilizes a metal-semiconductor contact to minimize forward voltage drop and switching losses compared to standard silicon rectifiers.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Schottky barrier construction for low forward voltage drop
• High surge current capability
• Fast switching characteristics suitable for high-frequency operation

Single Diodes Applications

• Switch-mode power supplies
• Free-wheeling diodes
• Polarity protection circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'RL' against the official onsemi datasheet to confirm packaging details and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the DO-201AA package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Confirm that the 40V rating aligns with your circuit's peak inverse voltage needs. Check for any regional compliance certifications required for your target market.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a low forward voltage drop and fast recovery are critical for efficiency in 40V systems. The 8A current rating suits moderate power applications. Consider thermal management due to the axial leaded package. Compare with similar Schottky diodes if higher voltage ratings or surface-mount packages are preferred for automated assembly.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to onsemi's discrete semiconductor product line, specifically within the rectifier diode category. It is designed for general-purpose power conversion tasks where efficiency and speed are prioritized over high voltage blocking capabilities. The axial package facilitates through-hole mounting in various industrial and consumer electronic designs.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

The MUR840G is a related onsemi rectifier but is a ultra-fast recovery type rather than a Schottky. Verify if the lower forward voltage of the Schottky MBR840RL is necessary for your application, as the MUR840G may have different switching characteristics and reverse recovery behavior.
