MUR1640FCT-BP

Overview

The MUR1640FCT-BP is a super fast recovery rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features an average forward current of 16A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400V. The device exhibits a typical reverse recovery time of 50ns and a maximum DC blocking voltage of 400V. Electrical characteristics include a maximum RMS voltage of 280V, a peak forward surge current of 120A, and a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.3V at 25°C. The component utilizes an ITO-220AB package with a typical thermal resistance of 2.5°C/W from junction to case.

• Lead-free finish compliant with RoHS standards

Applications

• High frequency switching power supplies
• Free wheeling diodes in inductive circuits
• DC-to-DC converters
• Inverter circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the authenticity of the MUR1640FCT-BP by purchasing directly from Micro Commercial Components or their authorized distributors. Counterfeit parts are prevalent; unauthorized sources lack traceability and quality assurance. Confirm that the suffix -BP indicates RoHS compliance and bulk packaging. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required halogen-free status if applicable by checking for the additional -HF designation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16A rating and 400V blocking voltage are required. The 50ns reverse recovery time makes it suitable for high-frequency applications where standard rectifiers would fail. Consider the ITO-220AB package for through-hole mounting and adequate heat dissipation. Evaluate the thermal resistance and derating curves to ensure the junction temperature remains within the specified operating range under expected load conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MUR1605FCT through MUR1660FCT series of super fast recovery rectifiers. The series offers various voltage ratings from 50V to 600V while maintaining a consistent 16A current capability. The MUR1640FCT specifically addresses the 400V requirement within this lineup. All devices share similar physical dimensions and electrical characteristics regarding surge capacity and forward voltage profiles.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 16A current, 400V voltage, and 50ns recovery time specifications. Verify pinout compatibility with the ITO-220AB package. Check datasheets for equivalent thermal resistance and forward voltage drops to ensure circuit performance parity.
