MBR10150CTHC0G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MBR10150CTHC0G is a Schottky diode array in a 1 Pair Common Cathode configuration manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. This component is rated for 150 V DC reverse voltage with 10 A average rectified current per diode and is housed in a TO-220-3 through-hole package. The part is currently active in production with automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q101) and ROHS3 compliance.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility are maintained across the critical parameters that define this product category: reverse voltage rating, current capacity, diode configuration, package type, and thermal operating range.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MBR10150CTHC0G is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Technology: Schottky
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 150 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): 10 A
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: TO-220-3

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: Forward voltage may vary within typical Schottky diode specifications
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: Leakage current may vary
• Operating Temperature - Junction: Extended temperature ranges are acceptable
• RoHS and REACH compliance status may differ

Three substitute parts meet these criteria and are listed below.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MBR20150CT (Diotec Semiconductor)

This part is a parametric equivalent with identical voltage and current ratings. Forward voltage is lower at 850 mV compared to 900 mV, and reverse leakage is significantly lower at 5 µA. The operating temperature range extends to 175 °C. RoHS status is not applicable, and automotive qualification is not specified. This part is suitable for applications where lower forward voltage drop and extended temperature operation are beneficial and where automotive qualification is not required.

MBR20150SCT-G1 (Diodes Incorporated)

This part is a parametric equivalent with identical voltage and current ratings and matching forward voltage of 900 mV. It carries automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q101) and ROHS3 compliance, matching the main part's certifications. The operating temperature range extends to 175 °C. This part is suitable for direct substitution in automotive applications requiring AEC-Q101 qualification.

V40150C-M3/4W (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division)

This part has a higher current rating of 20 A per diode, exceeding the 10 A requirement of the main part. All other electrical parameters match the critical specifications. It carries ROHS3 compliance. The forward voltage at 20 A operation is 1.43 V. This part is suitable for applications where higher current capacity is required or beneficial, with the understanding that forward voltage characteristics differ at the higher current rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MBR20150CT be used as a direct replacement for MBR10150CTHC0G?

A: MBR20150CT meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 150 V reverse voltage, 10 A current rating, Schottky technology, 1 Pair Common Cathode configuration, and TO-220-3 package. It is electrically compatible. However, it does not carry automotive qualification or ROHS3 compliance. Use this part only in applications where automotive certification is not required.

Q: What is the difference between MBR20150SCT-G1 and MBR20150CT?

A: Both parts have identical voltage and current ratings. MBR20150SCT-G1 carries automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q101) and ROHS3 compliance, while MBR20150CT does not. MBR20150SCT-G1 has a slightly higher reverse leakage at 50 µA compared to 5 µA. MBR20150SCT-G1 is the appropriate choice for automotive applications.

Q: Why does V40150C-M3/4W have a higher current rating?

A: V40150C-M3/4W is rated for 20 A per diode, which is double the 10 A rating of the main part. This higher current capacity is a design characteristic of this component. It remains compatible with the MBR10150CTHC0G in terms of voltage, configuration, package, and speed specifications. The higher current rating does not prevent its use in 10 A applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same package?

A: All substitute parts use the TO-220-3 through-hole package, matching the main part's mechanical form factor. Physical mounting and thermal interface characteristics are equivalent.

Q: Which substitute part should I select for an automotive application?

A: MBR20150SCT-G1 is qualified to AEC-Q101 and carries ROHS3 compliance, matching the automotive-grade specifications of the main part. This part is the appropriate selection for automotive applications.

Q: What is the impact of forward voltage differences among the substitutes?

A: Forward voltage varies among the substitutes: MBR20150CT at 850 mV, MBR20150SCT-G1 at 900 mV (matching the main part), and V40150C-M3/4W at 1.43 V (measured at 20 A). Lower forward voltage reduces power dissipation. The selection depends on circuit requirements and thermal design considerations.

Q: Can I use V40150C-M3/4W in a circuit designed for 10 A operation?

A: Yes. V40150C-M3/4W is rated for 20 A and operates safely at 10 A. The higher current rating provides additional design margin. However, forward voltage characteristics differ at the rated current levels, which may affect circuit performance depending on the application.
