MBRF10150CT-Y Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MBRF10150CT-Y is a diode array manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, configured as a 1 Pair Common Cathode rectifier with a maximum reverse voltage of 150 V and average rectified current of 10 A per diode. The device is packaged in a TO-220-3 Full Pack with isolated tab for through-hole mounting applications.

This part is currently in Active product status. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts becomes necessary when addressing inventory constraints, supply chain discontinuities, or when alternative manufacturers' components meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MBRF10150CT-Y is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode (must match exactly)
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 150 V (minimum requirement)
• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): Equal to or greater than 10 A
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 150°C (minimum requirement)

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Package / Case: TO-220-3 Full Pack, Isolated Tab
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Supplier Device Package: ITO-220AB

Regulatory Compliance:

• RoHS3 Compliant status required

The MBRF10150CT manufactured by Diodes Incorporated is identified as a substitute part. However, this part exhibits a reduced average rectified current specification of 5 A per diode, which is below the 10 A requirement of the main part. This represents a current derating and indicates that the MBRF10150CT is not a direct equivalent for applications requiring the full 10 A specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MBRF10150CT-Y (Main Part - Recommended for New Designs): The MBRF10150CT-Y maintains Active product status and is the preferred selection for applications requiring the full 10 A average rectified current specification. This part is ROHS3 compliant and currently in stock with 1056 pieces available.

MBRF10150CT (Substitute - Limited Application): The MBRF10150CT is classified as Obsolete and exhibits a reduced current rating of 5 A per diode. This part is suitable only for applications where the circuit design can accommodate a maximum 5 A average rectified current per diode. The Schottky technology provides faster recovery characteristics compared to the standard technology of the main part. This substitute carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and is ROHS3 compliant. The REACH status differs between the two parts (REACH Affected for the substitute versus REACH Unaffected for the main part).

For applications requiring the full 10 A specification, the MBRF10150CT-Y must be used. The MBRF10150CT is not a direct equivalent due to current derating and obsolete status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MBRF10150CT be used as a direct replacement for the MBRF10150CT-Y?

A: No. While both parts share the same package, voltage rating, and temperature range, the MBRF10150CT has a reduced average rectified current of 5 A per diode compared to the 10 A specification of the MBRF10150CT-Y. Direct substitution is only possible in applications designed for 5 A operation.

Q: What is the difference between Standard and Schottky diode technology in these parts?

A: The MBRF10150CT-Y uses Standard technology with recovery speed greater than 500 ns, while the MBRF10150CT uses Schottky technology with recovery speed of 500 ns or less. This affects switching characteristics and reverse leakage current, with the Schottky variant exhibiting lower reverse leakage (50 µA versus 100 µA at 150 V).

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the MBRF10150CT-Y and MBRF10150CT are ROHS3 compliant. However, the REACH status differs: the MBRF10150CT-Y is REACH Unaffected, while the MBRF10150CT is REACH Affected.

Q: What does "Obsolete" product status mean for the MBRF10150CT?

A: Obsolete status indicates that the MBRF10150CT is no longer in active production. While inventory may be available from distributors, future availability is not guaranteed. The MBRF10150CT-Y, with Active status, is the recommended choice for new designs and long-term supply assurance.

Q: Are the packages identical between these parts?

A: Yes, both parts use the TO-220-3 Full Pack with isolated tab package and are designed for through-hole mounting. The supplier device package designation is ITO-220AB for both parts.

Q: What is the significance of the "1 Pair Common Cathode" configuration?

A: This configuration indicates that the diode array contains two diodes sharing a common cathode connection. This is a critical parameter for circuit compatibility and pin assignment. Any substitute must maintain this exact configuration.
