MBRT20020

Diode Arrays Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor MBRT20020 is a silicon power Schottky diode module rated for an average forward current of 200 A per package. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 20 V and a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 0.70 V at Tj = 150 °C. The device utilizes a Three Tower isolation type package with an electrically isolated base plate, offering a thermal resistance of 0.45 °C/W per leg. It supports an operating temperature range from -55 °C to +150 °C and provides a peak forward surge current capability of 1500 A.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• High surge current capability designed for demanding transient loads
• Three Tower package configuration providing electrical isolation via the base plate
• Low forward voltage drop characteristics for improved efficiency
• Robust thermal performance with low junction-to-case thermal resistance

Diode Arrays Applications

• Free-wheeling rectification in motor drive systems
• Power supply output rectification stages
• Industrial power conversion equipment

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering, as the datasheet indicates that devices with the 'R' suffix feature reversed leads compared to standard configurations. Confirm the exact voltage rating variant required, as the MBRT200 series spans multiple voltage options including 20 V, 30 V, 35 V, and 40 V. Ensure compatibility with the Three Tower mounting style and verify that the application environment stays within the specified -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature limits.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a 200 A average forward current rating with a 20 V reverse voltage block. The low thermal resistance of 0.45 °C/W makes it suitable for high-power density designs where efficient heat dissipation is critical. Consider the physical dimensions of the Three Tower package during PCB or chassis layout planning. Evaluate the need for lead reversal by checking if the 'R' suffix is necessary for your specific circuit topology.
