SBRF20100CT

Diode Arrays Overview

The SBRF20100CT is a Schottky barrier rectifier diode array manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions. It features a dual common cathode configuration housed in an ITO-220AB (TO-220-3) through-hole package with an isolated tab. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and handles a total average forward current of 20 A, split as 10 A per leg. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 940 mV at 10 A and a reverse leakage current of 1 mA at 100 V.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Dual common cathode Schottky barrier rectifier structure for efficient power conversion
• Through-hole ITO-220AB package design facilitating robust thermal dissipation via the isolated tab
• High-speed switching capability inherent to Schottky technology minimizing reverse recovery time

Diode Arrays Applications

• DC-DC converter circuits requiring low forward voltage drop
• Free-wheeling diode applications in inductive load protection
• Power supply output rectification stages

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant, as the ITO-220AB designation indicates a through-hole form factor distinct from surface-mount D2PAK options. Confirm that the isolated tab requirement aligns with the target PCB layout and thermal management strategy. Ensure the 100 V rating provides adequate margin for the specific circuit's peak inverse voltage conditions.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a through-hole mounting solution is required for high-current rectification tasks. The 20 A total current capacity suits moderate to high-power applications where thermal conductivity of the lead frame is critical. Compare against surface-mount alternatives if board space constraints dictate a shift to smaller footprints like D2PAK.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the SBRF series of Schottky rectifiers from SMC Diode Solutions. It serves as a higher-current, through-hole alternative to surface-mount arrays, providing similar electrical performance in a package designed for direct board mounting with enhanced heat sinking capabilities through the metal tab.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

The MBRB40100CT is a functional substitute offering identical electrical specifications but utilizes a surface-mount D2PCAK package rather than the through-hole ITO-220AB format. Designers must account for mechanical mounting differences and thermal interface changes when swapping between these packages.
