Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage rating suffix corresponding to the required application voltage, as the MURT series includes variants from 50 V to 200 V. Confirm whether the standard or reversed lead version is needed, indicated by the 'R' suffix in datasheet part numbers. Ensure thermal management solutions account for the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance values under actual operating conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required forward current capacity and reverse voltage blocking level. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics when designing heat sinking solutions. Verify that the package dimensions and terminal configuration match the intended PCB or chassis mounting requirements. Check if the specific voltage grade meets the circuit's peak inverse voltage demands.

Part Context
