Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MBR20200CT is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Primary Equivalence Criteria:

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Technology: Schottky
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 200 V
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: TO-220-3 or compatible variant

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): 10 A minimum
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

Parts meeting all primary criteria are classified as direct equivalents. Parts exceeding current ratings while maintaining voltage and configuration specifications are classified as upgrades suitable for direct substitution. Variations in forward voltage, reverse leakage, and operating temperature ranges do not preclude substitution when primary parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalents (Active Status):

The MBR20200CT manufactured by Good-Ark Semiconductor and MBRF20200CT manufactured by Good-Ark Semiconductor are direct functional equivalents to the obsolete Diodes Incorporated MBR20200CT. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications for voltage rating, current capacity, and diode configuration. The Good-Ark variants feature isolated tab packaging (ITO-220AB) and demonstrate improved reverse leakage characteristics (200 nA versus 100 µA). Both are ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating and are currently in active production status.

Upgrade Substitute (Active Status):

The DSA30C200PB manufactured by IXYS provides a higher current rating of 15 A per diode while maintaining the 200 V voltage specification and 1 Pair Common Cathode configuration. This part is suitable for direct substitution in applications where the original 10 A rating provides design margin. The DSA30C200PB maintains fast recovery speed characteristics, automotive-grade operating temperature range (-55°C to 175°C), and ROHS3 compliance. REACH status is unaffected, providing regulatory advantage over the original part.

Alternative Substitute (Active Status):

The SBR20200CT manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions meets primary equivalence criteria with matching voltage, configuration, and mounting specifications. This part exhibits fast recovery speed characteristics and maintains ROHS3 compliance. Operating temperature range is limited to -55°C to 150°C compared to the original 175°C maximum. Reverse leakage is elevated at 1 mA versus 100 µA in the original specification. This part is suitable for applications where the reduced temperature margin and higher leakage current are acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Good-Ark MBR20200CT directly replace the obsolete Diodes Incorporated MBR20200CT?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications for voltage rating (200 V), current capacity (10 A per diode), diode configuration (1 Pair Common Cathode), and mounting type (Through Hole TO-220-3). The Good-Ark variant is in active production status and meets all compliance requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the Good-Ark MBR20200CT and MBRF20200CT?

A: Both Good-Ark parts are electrically equivalent with identical voltage, current, and configuration specifications. The primary difference is the part number designation; both are available in TO-220-3 Full Pack with Isolated Tab packaging and demonstrate superior reverse leakage performance (200 nA) compared to the original specification.

Q: Is the DSA30C200PB a suitable replacement despite the higher 15 A current rating?

A: Yes. The DSA30C200PB is suitable for direct substitution in applications designed for the MBR20200CT. The higher current rating (15 A versus 10 A) provides additional design margin and does not create incompatibility. All other critical parameters including voltage rating, configuration, and mounting type are identical. The part maintains automotive-grade specifications and ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What are the package differences between substitute parts?

A: The MBR20200CT and MBRF20200CT from Good-Ark feature TO-220-3 Full Pack with Isolated Tab (ITO-220AB) packaging. The SBR20200CT and DSA30C200PB use standard TO-220-3 packaging. Both package variants are mechanically compatible with TO-220-3 through-hole mounting. The isolated tab variant provides improved thermal and electrical isolation characteristics.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences between the substitute options?

A: The Good-Ark MBR20200CT and MBRF20200CT, along with the IXYS DSA30C200PB, have REACH Unaffected status, providing regulatory advantage over the original Diodes Incorporated part and the SMC SBR20200CT, which are REACH Affected. All substitute options are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating.

Q: What is the impact of reverse leakage current differences on substitution?

A: Reverse leakage variations across substitute options (200 nA to 1 mA at 200 V) do not preclude substitution when primary electrical parameters align. The Good-Ark variants demonstrate superior leakage performance (200 nA), while the SMC SBR20200CT exhibits elevated leakage (1 mA). Selection should account for application-specific leakage requirements, but all options remain functionally compatible with the original design.

Q: Can the SBR20200CT be used in applications requiring the full -55°C to 175°C temperature range?

A: The SBR20200CT is rated to -55°C to 150°C, limiting maximum junction temperature to 150°C compared to the original 175°C specification. This part is suitable for applications where the reduced upper temperature limit does not exceed design requirements. For applications requiring the full 175°C capability, the Good-Ark variants or DSA30C200PB are recommended.
