MBRL3045CT-BP

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBRL3045CT-BP is a Schottky Barrier Rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a dual common cathode configuration housed in a TO-220AB package. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 45V and an average forward current of 30A at a case temperature of 115°C. Key electrical parameters include a typical thermal resistance of 2.0°C/W from junction to case, a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 0.53V at 15A, and a peak forward surge current capability of 250A for an 8.3ms half-sine wave pulse.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the authenticity of the component by purchasing directly from Micro Commercial Components or their authorized distributors to ensure traceability and quality. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the required packaging format, such as bulk tubes, and check for specific halogen-free requirements if applicable. Ensure the procurement channel provides genuine parts with full manufacturer support.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust high-current handling with low power loss. The TO-220AB package facilitates effective heat dissipation through direct mounting to heatsinks. Consider the 30A continuous current rating relative to the expected case temperature derating curve. Verify that the 45V reverse voltage rating exceeds the maximum circuit operating voltage with adequate safety margins.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the MBRL series of low VF Schottky Barrier Rectifiers from MCC. It shares the same internal structure and pinout as other variants in the family but is distinguished by its specific voltage and current ratings. The series is designed for general-purpose rectification where efficiency and speed are critical factors in power management systems.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the TO-220AB package, 45V reverse voltage, and 30A forward current specifications. Verify that substitute components offer comparable forward voltage drops and thermal resistance values to maintain system performance and reliability 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 250A for an 8.3ms half-sine-wave pulse.

How does the average forward current change with case temperature?

The average forward current is rated at 30A when the case temperature is maintained at 115°C. Derating curves should be consulted for operation at higher temperatures.

Is the device halogen-free?

Standard versions are not explicitly stated as halogen-free. A halogen-free version is available upon request by adding the suffix '-HF' to the part number.
