MURS2020CTA-BP

Overview

The MURS2020CTA-BP is a 20 Amp, 200 Volt ultrafast recovery rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It utilizes a planar die structure and is housed in a TO-220AB package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200V, an average forward current of 20A at a case temperature of 135°C, and a typical reverse recovery time of 25ns. The device supports an operating junction temperature range from -55°C to +175°C.

Feature Summary

• Ultrafast recovery characteristics with soft recovery behavior
• Planar die structure for high reliability
• Low switching losses and low reverse leakage current

Applications

• High frequency power supply circuits
• Free-wheeling diode applications
• DC-to-DC converters

Procurement Notes

Verify the authenticity of the component by purchasing only from MCC or authorized distributors. Counterfeit parts are prevalent; unauthorized sources lack traceability and warranty coverage. Confirm the part number suffix matches the required specifications, such as adding '-HF' for halogen-free versions if necessary.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring fast switching speeds and high efficiency. Ensure the thermal management system can maintain the case temperature within limits to support the rated 20A current. Verify that the 200V blocking voltage meets the circuit's peak reverse voltage requirements.

Part Context

This device belongs to the MURS series of FRED (Fast Recovery Diodes) from Micro Commercial Components. It is designed to improve power supply efficiency through reduced switching losses. The product line includes various voltage and current ratings packaged in TO-220AB formats.
