MBRL20200FCT-BP

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBRL20200FCT-BP is a Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a maximum average forward current of 20 A at a case temperature of 80°C and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V. The device exhibits a typical thermal resistance of 4.0°C/W from junction to case. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 0.88 V at 10 A and a peak forward surge current capacity of 160 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine wave pulse. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the authenticity of the MBRL20200FCT-BP by purchasing exclusively from Micro Commercial Components or their authorized distributors. Counterfeit components pose significant risks; unauthorized sources do not provide warranty coverage or traceability. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the required packaging configuration and environmental compliance specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a 20 A continuous current rating and 200 V blocking voltage are required in an ITO-220AB package. Ensure the application maintains the case temperature below 80°C to sustain the rated current. Consider the 4.0°C/W thermal resistance for heat sink design. Verify if halogen-free variants are necessary for specific regulatory requirements.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the MBRL20200FCT series of Schottky barrier rectifiers designed for general-purpose power conversion. The series offers various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent current handling capabilities. The BP suffix indicates bulk packaging, distinguishing it from other distribution formats available within the MCC product line.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 20 A current rating, 200 V reverse voltage, and ITO-220AB footprint. Verify forward voltage and thermal resistance parameters to ensure equivalent performance in the target circuit without redesigning the cooling infrastructure.

Diode Arrays FAQ

What is the maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current?

The maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current is 160 A for an 8.3 ms single half-sine-wave pulse.

How does the forward current rating change with temperature?

The average forward current rating is specified at a case temperature of 80°C. Derating curves indicate that the allowable current decreases as the case temperature increases beyond this point.

Is there a halogen-free option available?

Yes, a halogen-free version is available upon request by adding the suffix '-HF' to the part number.
