MBR30200CT-BP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MBR30200CT-BP is a Schottky diode array in a 1 Pair Common Cathode configuration, rated for 200 V DC reverse voltage and 30 A average rectified current per diode. Manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, this component is housed in a TO-220-3 through-hole package and is currently in active production status with 788 pieces in stock.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when design requirements permit operation at reduced current ratings or when supply chain considerations necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within specified parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MBR30200CT-BP is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

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

Allowable Variation Parameter:

• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): May be reduced from 30 A to lower ratings when circuit design permits

The MBR10200CT manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation qualifies as a substitute part. It maintains identical voltage rating, diode configuration, technology type, and package specification. The current rating is reduced to 10 A per diode, which restricts its application to circuits designed for lower current operation but does not compromise electrical compatibility within those constraints.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MBR30200CT-BP (Primary Selection)

The MBR30200CT-BP is the primary component choice for applications requiring 30 A average rectified current per diode at 200 V reverse voltage. This part is in active production status with adequate inventory availability (788 pieces). REACH compliance status is unaffected, and export classification is EAR99.

MBR10200CT (Substitute Selection)

The MBR10200CT is a valid substitute when circuit design specifications permit operation at 10 A average rectified current per diode. This part is manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation and maintains active production status with significantly higher inventory availability (45,200 pieces). The substitute part is RoHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). REACH compliance status is unaffected, and export classification is EAR99.

Substitution is appropriate for applications where current requirements do not exceed 10 A per diode and where the reduced forward voltage drop (980 mV @ 10 A versus 990 mV @ 30 A) is acceptable or beneficial to circuit performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MBR10200CT replace the MBR30200CT-BP in all applications?

A: The MBR10200CT is electrically and mechanically compatible only in applications where the circuit design specifies a maximum current requirement of 10 A per diode or less. The 200 V reverse voltage rating, Schottky technology, Common Cathode configuration, and TO-220-3 package are identical. Current rating is the limiting factor for substitution eligibility.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is the average rectified current rating per diode: 30 A for the MBR30200CT-BP and 10 A for the MBR10200CT. All other electrical parameters, including reverse voltage, forward voltage drop characteristics, reverse leakage current, and operating temperature range, are equivalent or comparable.

Q: Are both parts physically interchangeable in the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. Both parts use the TO-220-3 through-hole package and are mounted identically. Physical interchangeability is confirmed. However, electrical interchangeability depends on circuit current requirements.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these parts?

A: Both parts are REACH unaffected and classified as EAR99 for export purposes. The MBR10200CT additionally carries RoHS3 compliance certification and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, select the part that matches the actual circuit current requirement. If the design requires 30 A per diode, use MBR30200CT-BP. If the design requires 10 A or less per diode, either part is acceptable; the MBR10200CT offers higher inventory availability and RoHS3 compliance.
