MBRF20100CT

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBRF20100CT is a dual high-voltage Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions, featuring a common cathode configuration. It provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100V and an average forward rectified current of 20A (10A per element). The device supports a peak non-repetitive surge current of 150A for an 8.3ms single half-sine wave. Typical forward voltage drop is 0.95V at 20A with a case temperature of 25°C. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and utilizes an ITO-220AB plastic package.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

Diode Arrays Applications

• Free-wheeling diodes in switch-mode power supplies
• Polarity protection circuits
• Low voltage, high frequency inverters

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer marking on the component body to confirm it corresponds to SMC Diode Solutions rather than other vendors using similar part numbers. Ensure the package type matches the required ITO-220AB or TO-220AB footprint. Check for specific suffixes that may indicate halogen-free or RoHS-compliant variants if environmental regulations apply to your assembly process.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring a dual Schottky rectifier with a 100V blocking voltage and 20A total current capacity. It is appropriate for center-tapped full-wave rectification topologies. Consider the thermal resistance and mounting requirements of the ITO-220AB package to ensure adequate heat dissipation for the intended load conditions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to the MBRF series of dual Schottky barrier rectifiers from SMC Diode Solutions. The series covers various voltage ratings from 20V to 100V while maintaining consistent current handling capabilities. These components are engineered for general-purpose rectification where low forward voltage and high efficiency are critical design parameters.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' MBRF20100CT equivalents such as those from ON Semiconductor or Taiwan Semiconductor. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 100V reverse voltage, 20A current rating, and ITO-220AB package dimensions to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
