MUR1620FCT-BP

Overview

The MUR1620FCT-BP is a super fast recovery rectifier from Micro Commercial Components, rated for 16A average forward current and 200V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage. It utilizes an ITO-220AB package with a typical thermal resistance of 2.5°C/W junction to case. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse recovery time of 35ns at specified test conditions and a maximum DC blocking voltage of 200V. The device supports an operating junction temperature range from -55°C to +150°C and offers high surge capacity with a peak forward surge current rating of 120A.

Feature Summary

• Super fast recovery times suitable for high voltage applications
• Low forward voltage drop combined with high current capability
• High surge capacity for robust performance under transient loads
• Lead-free finish compliant with RoHS standards

Applications

• High frequency switching power supplies
• Free wheeling diodes in inductive circuits
• Reverse polarity protection in electronic systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the part number suffix against official MCC documentation to confirm compliance status. The "BP" suffix indicates bulk packaging. Ensure procurement channels are authorized distributors to guarantee genuine components with full traceability. Counterfeit prevention measures are strictly enforced by the manufacturer. Confirm halogen-free requirements if applicable, as this requires a specific additional suffix.

Selection Notes

Select this component when super fast recovery characteristics are required for efficiency in high-frequency circuits. The 16A current rating and 200V voltage class define its operational limits. Consider the ITO-220AB package size for thermal management and board space constraints. Verify that the application's peak reverse voltage remains within the 200V limit to ensure reliability.

Part Context

This device belongs to the MUR16xxFCT series of super fast recovery rectifiers manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. The series covers various voltage ratings from 50V to 600V while maintaining a consistent 16A current rating. These components are designed for general purpose rectification where fast switching speeds are critical. The MUR1620FCT specifically addresses the 200V requirement within this family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same MCC series include MUR1615FCT for lower voltage or MUR1630FCT for higher voltage applications. Cross-manufacturer replacements must match the 16A current, 200V rating, and ITO-220AB package. Verify reverse recovery time and forward voltage specifications to ensure functional equivalence.
