MBRB20150CT

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBRB20150CT is a dual common cathode Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 150 V and an average forward rectified current of 20 A per diode element. The device utilizes a D2PAK (TO-263AB) surface-mount package with three terminals. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage drop of 850 mV at 10 A and a maximum reverse leakage current of 10 µA at 150 V. The component supports a junction temperature range from -55 °C to +175 °C.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Schottky barrier construction for high switching efficiency
• Low forward voltage drop to minimize conduction losses
• High surge current capability for robust operation
• Center-tap configuration suitable for bridge applications

Diode Arrays Applications

• Switching power supplies
• DC-DC converters
• Free-wheeling diodes in inductive circuits
• Reverse battery protection circuits

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation on the datasheet header, as similar part numbers exist across multiple vendors. Confirm the specific suffix indicates the D2PAK surface-mount package rather than through-hole variants. Ensure the requested quantity matches standard supplier packaging configurations. Cross-reference the date code to confirm production status against current supply chain constraints.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a surface-mount solution is required for 150 V applications. The 20 A rating suits moderate-to-high current designs where thermal management via the exposed tab is feasible. Compare the 850 mV forward voltage against lower-voltage alternatives if efficiency is critical. Ensure the PCB footprint accommodates the TO-263AB outline dimensions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to the MBRB series of Schottky rectifiers designed for general-purpose power conversion. It complements through-hole equivalents like the MBR20150CT by offering a compact surface-mount alternative. The series is engineered for reliability in industrial and consumer electronics environments requiring efficient rectification.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the MBRB20150CTH-TP from Micro Commercial Components, which shares identical electrical ratings and pinout compatibility within the D2PAK package family.
