MBRL60100CT-BP

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBRL60100CT-BP is a 60 Amp, 100 Volt Schottky Barrier Rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It utilizes silicon technology and is housed in a TO-220AB through-hole package with a common cathode configuration. The device features a maximum DC blocking voltage of 100V and an average forward current rating of 60A at a case temperature of 55°C. Typical forward voltage drop values are 0.74V at 30A and 0.46V at 5A, both measured at 25°C junction temperature. Peak forward surge current capability is rated at 320A for an 8.3ms half-sine wave. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify authenticity by purchasing directly from Micro Commercial Components or authorized distributors listed on the manufacturer's website. Counterfeit parts pose significant risks; unauthorized sources do not provide warranty coverage or quality assurance. Confirm the specific ordering suffix matches requirements, as adding '-HF' indicates halogen-free compliance. Ensure the package type and pinout align with the intended PCB footprint before finalizing procurement.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust 60A Schottky rectifier with low forward voltage is required for high-efficiency designs. The TO-220AB package facilitates effective thermal management via heatsinking. Consider the typical thermal resistance of 2°C/W for junction-to-case calculations. Verify that the operating environment stays within the specified -55°C to +150°C junction temperature limits to ensure reliable performance and longevity under load conditions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the MBRL series of low VF Schottky barrier rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. The series is characterized by majority carrier conduction using silicon technology. The 'BP' suffix denotes RoHS compliance and lead-free finish. The product line targets applications demanding high surge capacity and low power loss, distinguishing it from standard PN junction rectifiers through its superior switching characteristics and reduced heat generation.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MCC Schottky rectifiers in the TO-220AB package with equivalent or higher current and voltage ratings, such as the MBR60100CTH-BP. When replacing, verify that the new component maintains the same common cathode configuration and physical dimensions to fit existing board layouts without modification.
