MBRD650CT

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBRD650CT is a Schottky diode array manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions. It features a common cathode configuration with two individual diodes. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V and an average forward rectified current of 5 A per element. It utilizes a TO-252-3 (DPAK) surface-mount package. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C and exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 580 mV at 5 A. Reverse leakage current is specified at 1 mA under 50 V conditions.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CT' corresponds to the tape and reel packaging format required for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the TO-252-3 footprint matches the target PCB design. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 directives if environmental regulations apply to the final product assembly.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual Schottky arrangement with a common cathode is required for low-voltage, medium-current applications. The DPAK package offers a balance between thermal performance and space constraints. Consider the 50 V rating margin relative to the system's peak reverse voltage to ensure reliable operation under transient conditions.
