MBRS20H100CTH

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBRS20H100CTH is a dual Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a common cathode configuration with two independent elements within a single package. The device utilizes silicon technology and is housed in a TO-220AB through-hole plastic package. Key electrical ratings include a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and an average forward current of 20 A per element. The component supports a peak forward surge current of 150 A and operates within a junction temperature range from -65 °C to +175 °C.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Low forward voltage drop for high efficiency
• High junction temperature capability
• Plastic package with UL flammability classification 94V-0

Diode Arrays Applications

• AC/DC switching adapters
• General purpose switching power supplies
• Free wheeling diode applications

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer marking on the component body to confirm it reads Taiwan Semiconductor, as multiple vendors produce identical part numbers. Ensure the suffix 'H' corresponds to the specific tape-and-reel or tube packaging variant required by your assembly line, as packaging formats vary across different distributors and production batches.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a 20 A continuous current rating at 100 V blocking voltage is required in a through-hole format. The low forward voltage characteristic makes it suitable for low-voltage, high-frequency rectification where minimizing conduction losses is critical. Verify that the thermal management design accommodates the heat dissipation requirements of the TO-220AB package under maximum load conditions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the MBR series of Schottky rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. It shares the same internal die and electrical specifications as the MBR20H100CT but may differ in packaging style or specific suffix codes related to environmental compliance or reel configuration. It serves as a direct functional replacement for other manufacturers' 20A 100V dual Schottky diodes in the TO-220AB footprint.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include Vishay's MBR20H100CTG and STMicroelectronics' STPS20H100CT. When replacing, verify that the alternative component maintains the same TO-220AB pinout and meets the required 150 A surge current rating.
