MURS2030CTAS-BP

Overview

The MURS2030CTAS-BP is a super fast rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features a dual common cathode configuration with a voltage rating of 300V and an average forward current of 20A per diode. The device utilizes a TO-220AB package for efficient thermal management. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse recovery time of 75ns and a low forward voltage drop, ensuring high efficiency in switching applications.

Feature Summary

• Dual common cathode structure for bridge or push-pull configurations
• Super fast recovery characteristics minimizing switching losses
• Plastic encapsulation utilizing molded compound for UL flame resistance

Applications

• High frequency DC/DC converters
• Free wheeling rectification in PWM circuits
• Isolated power supply outputs

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including suffixes to ensure correct packaging and tape/reel specifications. Confirm that the TO-220AB lead form matches your PCB footprint requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards. Ensure thermal interface material compatibility for the specific mounting application.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual isolated outputs or center-tapped transformer configurations are required. The 300V rating suits low-voltage secondary side rectification. Consider the 20A current capacity against peak load demands. Evaluate the 75ns reverse recovery time against the switching frequency of the primary converter circuit to minimize EMI.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MURS series of ultra-fast recovery diodes from Micro Commercial Components. The series is designed for general purpose high-speed rectification. The CTAS suffix typically indicates a specific internal construction or testing standard within the MCC product line for dual common cathode devices.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 300V, 20A dual common cathode specification and TO-220AB package. Verify reverse recovery time does not exceed 75ns. Check forward voltage drop similarities to maintain thermal performance. Common equivalents may include parts from Vishay or ON Semiconductor with identical pinouts and ratings.
