MBR20200CTH Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MBR20200CTH is a Schottky diode array in a 1 Pair Common Cathode configuration rated for 200 V DC reverse voltage and 10 A average rectified current per diode. Manufactured by onsemi under the SWITCHMODE™ series, this through-hole TO-220-3 package component is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for production and repair applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MBR20200CTH is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Equivalence Criteria:

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Technology: Schottky
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 200 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): 10 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 900 mV @ 10 A
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: TO-220-3
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in reverse leakage current, operating temperature range, packaging format (tube vs. other), and product status do not disqualify substitution eligibility when all mandatory parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MBR20200CTG (onsemi): This part is the direct substitute for MBR20200CTH. Both are manufactured by onsemi, share identical electrical specifications, and maintain the same TO-220-3 package configuration. MBR20200CTG holds Active product status with significantly higher inventory availability (55,160 pcs vs. 700 pcs). Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. The primary difference is packaging format (Tube for MBR20200CTG). This part is the preferred replacement for obsolete MBR20200CTH applications.

V20202C-M3/4W (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division): This part meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. It is manufactured by Vishay under the TMBS® series and maintains Active product status. The V20202C-M3/4W exhibits lower reverse leakage current (150 µA @ 200 V vs. 1 mA @ 200 V) and a narrower operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 175°C vs. -65°C ~ 175°C). Both differences represent operational improvements or equivalent performance in standard industrial applications. ROHS3 Compliance and REACH Unaffected status are maintained. This part is suitable for applications where cross-manufacturer substitution is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MBR20200CTG directly replace MBR20200CTH in existing designs?

A: Yes. MBR20200CTG is a direct substitute. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (200 V, 10 A, 900 mV forward voltage, fast recovery ≤ 500ns), the same diode configuration (1 Pair Common Cathode), and identical TO-220-3 package pinout. The only difference is packaging format (Tube). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What are the differences between the onsemi MBR20200CTG and Vishay V20202C-M3/4W?

A: Both parts meet all mandatory electrical specifications. The V20202C-M3/4W has lower reverse leakage current (150 µA vs. 1 mA at 200 V) and operates over a narrower temperature range (-40°C to 175°C vs. -65°C to 175°C). These differences do not affect substitution eligibility. Selection depends on design requirements for leakage performance and minimum operating temperature.

Q: Is the TO-220-3 package identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts use the TO-220-3 through-hole package with identical pinout and mechanical dimensions. Direct PCB mounting compatibility is confirmed.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. MBR20200CTG and V20202C-M3/4W are both ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, matching the compliance status of the original MBR20200CTH.

Q: Why is MBR20200CTH marked as obsolete?

A: Product status reflects manufacturer lifecycle decisions. MBR20200CTG, the active equivalent from the same manufacturer, is available as the recommended replacement.

Q: Can I use V20202C-M3/4W in applications requiring the full -65°C to 175°C temperature range?

A: The V20202C-M3/4W operates from -40°C to 175°C. Applications requiring operation below -40°C must use MBR20200CTH or MBR20200CTG, which are rated to -65°C.
