MBRL20120CT-BP

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBRL20120CT-BP is a dual common cathode Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features a 20A average forward current rating and a 120V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage. The device utilizes silicon technology in a TO-220AB package with a maximum thermal resistance of 2°C/W from junction to case. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 0.85V at 10A and a peak forward surge current capability of 200A for an 8.3ms half-sine wave pulse.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Low forward voltage drop design minimizes power losses during operation
• High surge forward current capability supports transient load conditions
• Epoxy compound meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating standards

Diode Arrays Applications

• DC-to-DC converter circuits
• Power supply freewheeling applications
• Reverse polarity protection systems

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official MCC documentation to confirm compliance attributes such as halogen-free status or lead finish. Ensure the component source is an authorized distributor to guarantee authenticity and traceability, as unauthorized sources may not provide valid warranty coverage or quality assurance data.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common cathode configuration is required for synchronous rectification or bridgeless PFC topologies. The TO-220AB package facilitates efficient heat dissipation through direct mounting to a heatsink. Evaluate the 2°C/W thermal resistance against your system's ambient temperature and derating requirements to ensure reliable operation within the specified junction temperature range.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the MBRL series of low VF Schottky barrier rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. The series is designed for high-efficiency power conversion applications requiring robust surge handling and low conduction losses. The -BP suffix indicates bulk packaging, typically supplied in tubes or boxes rather than tape and reel formats.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Consult official manufacturer substitution guides for verified equivalents. Generic replacements must match the 20A current rating, 120V voltage rating, TO-220AB package, and dual common cathode configuration to maintain circuit performance.
