SBR20100CT

Diode Arrays Overview

The SBR20100CT is a Super Barrier Rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, featuring a dual anode common cathode configuration in a TO-220AB package. It supports a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 100 V and an average rectified output current of 20 A (10 A per leg). The forward voltage drop is rated at a maximum of 0.82 V at +25°C with a 10 A load, while the maximum reverse leakage current is 0.1 mA at +25°C under full reverse voltage. The device withstands a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 150 A and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +175°C.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Patented SBR technology provides superior avalanche capability compared to standard Schottky diodes for rugged operation.
• Ultra-low forward voltage drop ensures better efficiency and cooler thermal performance.
• Reduced high-temperature reverse leakage increases reliability against thermal runaway failure.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix when purchasing. The base part number SBR20100CT corresponds to the TO-220AB case style. Ordering suffixes such as -G indicate Green packaging compliance, while -FP variants utilize the ITO-220AB leadless package. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required mechanical footprint and environmental specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high surge capability and low conduction losses. The dual anode common cathode design facilitates bridge rectification or synchronous rectification topologies. Ensure the thermal management system accounts for the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance values to maintain safe operating temperatures during continuous high-current loads.
