MURSD1020CTA-TP

Overview

The MURSD1020CTA-TP is a Fast Recovery Epitaxial Diode (FRED) rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features a dual common cathode configuration with a continuous forward current rating of 10 Amperes and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 Volts. The device utilizes an ultra-fast recovery technology to minimize switching losses and reverse recovery charge. It is housed in a surface-mount D2PAK-3 (TO-263-3) package, designed for high-efficiency power conversion applications requiring rapid switching capabilities.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-fast recovery characteristics reduce switching losses and electromagnetic interference
• Dual common cathode configuration enables efficient bridge or center-tapped circuit topologies
• Surface-mount D2PAK-3 package provides robust thermal performance and reliable soldering

Applications

• High-frequency DC-DC converters
• Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
• Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TP' confirms RoHS compliance and halogen-free status as per manufacturer standards. Confirm the package type matches the required PCB footprint, specifically the D2PAK-3 variant. Ensure the ordering quantity aligns with the standard reel packaging specifications provided by authorized distributors. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure compatibility with current design requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits that require fast switching speeds at moderate current levels. The 200V rating suits low-voltage AC-DC adapters and synchronous rectification stages. Compare the reverse recovery time against system switching frequencies to ensure minimal overlap losses. Consider the thermal resistance of the D2PAK-3 package for adequate heat dissipation under continuous load conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MURSD series of fast recovery diodes from Micro Commercial Components. It complements other variants in the lineup offering different voltage and current ratings. The series is engineered for general-purpose high-speed switching applications where efficiency and compact form factors are critical. It serves as a direct replacement for legacy discrete diodes in modern power supply designs.

Replacement Considerations

Check for equivalent parts from other manufacturers with matching 10A/200V ratings and similar reverse recovery times. Verify pinout compatibility, particularly for the dual common cathode arrangement. Ensure the substitute component meets the same thermal and mechanical specifications for the D2PAK-3 package.
