MBR2070CT Dual Common-Cathode Schottky Rectifier

The MBR2070CT is a robust dual common-cathode Schottky rectifier from Diodes Incorporated, designed for high-efficiency power supply applications. This component is particularly suitable for use in low voltage, high frequency inverters, free-wheeling, and polarity protection applications. The MBR2070CT offers a forward current of 20A with a low forward voltage drop, making it an excellent choice for systems where energy efficiency is paramount.

Constructed with metal silicon junction, this Schottky rectifier features a guard ring for enhanced ruggedness and long-term reliability. The device is encapsulated in a TO-220AB package, which is universally preferred for all commercial-industrial applications at power dissipation levels up to approximately 50 watts. The TO-220AB package ensures a good balance between the twin needs of lower thermal resistance and cost-effectiveness.

Key specifications of the MBR2070CT include a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 70V and a maximum RMS voltage (VRMS) of 49V, which allows for a comfortable margin in applications with high surge exposure. The rectifier also features a peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 150A, which is critical for handling high transient currents without failure.

With its fast switching capabilities, the MBR2070CT is optimized for use in environments where switching losses need to be minimized. This makes it an ideal choice for modern, compact power supplies where efficiency and reliability cannot be compromised. Additionally, the low power loss and high efficiency of the MBR2070CT are maintained over a wide operating temperature range, making it a versatile component in various temperature-critical applications.

The MBR2070CT also meets environmental standards, being RoHS compliant and free from lead and other environmentally sensitive materials. This commitment to environmental standards ensures that the rectifier can be used in a wide range of products without concerns regarding regulatory compliance related to hazardous substances.

In summary, the MBR2070CT from Diodes Incorporated is a high-performance, dual common-cathode Schottky rectifier that offers designers a combination of low forward voltage, high surge capability, and efficient operation, all packed in a cost-effective TO-220AB package suitable for a wide array of power applications.
