MUR1620CT-BP

Overview

The MUR1620CT-BP is a common cathode dual ultrafast rectifier manufactured by MCC. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V and an average forward current rating of 16 A at a case temperature of 100°C. The device exhibits a typical reverse recovery time of 35 ns and a maximum forward voltage drop of 0.975 V at 8 A. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C, with a maximum DC reverse current of 5 µA at rated voltage.

Feature Summary

• Common cathode dual configuration for bridge applications
• Ultrafast 35 nanosecond reverse recovery time
• Glass passivated chip construction
• High surge forward current capability

Applications

• Negative switching power supplies
• Inverter circuits
• Freewheeling diodes
• Single phase full-wave bridge configurations

Procurement Notes

Verify the part number suffix against official distributor listings to ensure compliance with RoHS standards and halogen-free requirements if specified. Confirm package type matches TO-220AB dimensions. Purchase only from authorized distributors to guarantee traceability and authenticity, as MCC explicitly warns against counterfeit components in the supply chain.

Selection Notes

Select this component for high-frequency switching applications requiring fast recovery characteristics. Ensure thermal management supports the 16 A rating at elevated case temperatures. Verify that the 200 V blocking voltage exceeds the circuit's peak inverse voltage. Consider derating curves for ambient temperature conditions to maintain reliability.

Part Context

This device belongs to the MUR1605CT through MUR1660CT series of super fast rectifiers. The series offers varying voltage ratings from 50 V to 600 V while maintaining a consistent 16 A current capacity. The MUR1620CT specifically targets 200 V applications within this family.

Replacement Considerations

MURB1620CT serves as a complementary common anode device for bridge configurations.
