MURS2060FCTA-BP

Overview

The MURS2060FCTA-BP is a 20 Amp, 600 Volt ultrafast recovery rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It utilizes an ITO-220AB package with a planar die structure for soft recovery characteristics. Key electrical parameters include a maximum average forward current of 20 Amperes per device and 10 Amperes per diode, a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 600 Volts, and a non-repetitive peak surge current of 120 Amperes. The component features a typical reverse recovery time of 35 nanoseconds at 25°C and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 175°C.

Feature Summary

• Ultrafast recovery time with soft recovery characteristics
• Planar structure die design
• Low switching losses and high efficiency
• Low reverse leakage current

Applications

• High frequency DC/DC converters
• Free wheeling diodes in PWM applications
• Inverter circuits
• High efficiency power supplies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compliance with environmental requirements. The standard part includes a "-BP" suffix indicating lead-free finish and RoHS compliance. An additional "-HF" suffix is available upon request for halogen-free versions. Confirm that the bulk packaging details match the required quantity for production needs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-frequency operation and low reverse recovery charge are critical. The ITO-220AB package provides robust thermal performance with a junction-to-case thermal resistance of 4°C/W. Ensure the circuit voltage does not exceed the 600V rating and consider the 120A surge capability for transient protection scenarios.

Part Context

This device belongs to the MURS series of fast recovery rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. It is designed for general-purpose high-speed switching applications requiring reliable performance under high thermal stress. The product line emphasizes efficiency improvements through reduced switching losses compared to standard recovery diodes.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 20A current rating, 600V voltage rating, and ITO-220AB package. Verify that alternative components offer comparable reverse recovery times and thermal resistance values to maintain circuit performance integrity.

FAQ

What is the difference between the per-device and per-diode current ratings?

The MURS2060FCTA contains two internal diodes. The total average forward current for the entire device is 20 Amperes, while each individual diode is rated for 10 Amperes.

How is the reverse recovery time defined for this component?

The reverse recovery time (trr) is measured from the zero-crossing point of the negative-going forward current to the point where a line passing through 0.75 IRRM and 0.50 IRRM extrapolates to zero current.

Is the component suitable for high-temperature environments?

Yes, the operating junction temperature range extends up to 175°C, allowing for operation in demanding thermal conditions.
