Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MBRF10200CTH is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Technology: Schottky
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 200 V
• Package / Case: TO-220-3 Full Pack, Isolated Tab
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500 ns, > 200 mA (Io)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Current - Average Rectified (Io): Rated at 10 A or higher
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: Within acceptable forward voltage characteristics
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: Within acceptable leakage specifications
• Operating Temperature - Junction: Must support -55°C minimum or higher
• Product Status: Active or discontinued (availability dependent)

Substitute parts are grouped based on current rating capability and forward voltage characteristics while maintaining identical package, configuration, and voltage specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Equivalent: MBRF10200CT

The MBRF10200CT from SMC Diode Solutions is the parametric equivalent with identical package, configuration, and voltage specifications. This part is currently active in production. The forward voltage specification differs at the measurement point (5 A versus 10 A), but both parts maintain the same 200 V reverse voltage and TO-220-3 isolated tab package. This part is suitable for direct replacement in active designs.

Secondary Equivalents: Vishay TMBS® Series

The Vishay General Semiconductor TMBS® series parts (VF20200C-E3/4W, VF20200G-E3/4W, VF30200C-E3/4W, and VFT10200C-E3/4W) are active alternatives that maintain the 200 V reverse voltage and TO-220-3 package configuration. These parts differ in current rating and forward voltage characteristics:

• VF20200C-E3/4W and VF20200G-E3/4W: Rated at 10 A, matching the original part's current specification. Forward voltage is higher (1.6 V and 1.7 V respectively at 10 A) compared to the MBRF10200CTH (980 mV at 10 A). Operating temperature range is -40°C to 150°C.

• VF30200C-E3/4W: Rated at 15 A, providing higher current capability. Forward voltage is 1.1 V at 15 A. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 150°C.

• VFT10200C-E3/4W: Rated at 5 A, providing lower current capability. Forward voltage is 1.6 V at 5 A. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 150°C.

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and maintain fast recovery characteristics. Selection among these alternatives depends on circuit current requirements and acceptable forward voltage drop in the application.

Automotive Grade Consideration

The MBRF10200CTH carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. The MBRF10200CT maintains automotive-grade specifications with identical temperature range (-55°C to 150°C). The Vishay TMBS® series parts have a reduced minimum operating temperature of -40°C, which may not satisfy automotive applications requiring -55°C operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MBRF10200CT directly replace MBRF10200CTH?

A: Yes. MBRF10200CT from SMC Diode Solutions is a parametric equivalent with identical package (TO-220-3 Full Pack, Isolated Tab), configuration (1 Pair Common Cathode), and voltage rating (200 V). Both parts maintain the same operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C) and are ROHS3 compliant. The part is currently active in production.

Q: What is the difference between the Vishay TMBS® series substitutes?

A: The Vishay TMBS® series parts differ in current rating and forward voltage characteristics. VF20200C-E3/4W and VF20200G-E3/4W are rated at 10 A (matching the original), VF30200C-E3/4W is rated at 15 A (higher current capability), and VFT10200C-E3/4W is rated at 5 A (lower current capability). Forward voltage varies between 1.1 V and 1.7 V depending on the part and measurement current. All maintain 200 V reverse voltage and TO-220-3 packaging.

Q: Are the Vishay TMBS® parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: The Vishay TMBS® series parts have an operating temperature range of -40°C to 150°C, compared to the MBRF10200CTH specification of -55°C to 150°C. Applications requiring operation below -40°C must use MBRF10200CT, which maintains the full -55°C to 150°C range. The MBRF10200CTH carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification; verify whether the substitute part's reduced temperature range is acceptable for the specific automotive application.

Q: What is the impact of higher forward voltage in substitute parts?

A: The MBRF10200CTH specifies 980 mV forward voltage at 10 A. Vishay TMBS® series parts rated at 10 A (VF20200C-E3/4W and VF20200G-E3/4W) specify 1.6 V and 1.7 V respectively at 10 A. Higher forward voltage results in increased power dissipation in the diode. Circuit designs must account for this difference in thermal management and voltage drop calculations. VF30200C-E3/4W specifies 1.1 V at 15 A, which is closer to the original specification.

Q: Can I use a higher-rated current part as a substitute?

A: Yes. VF30200C-E3/4W is rated at 15 A, exceeding the MBRF10200CTH's 10 A rating. Higher current rating provides design margin and does not degrade performance in circuits operating at or below 10 A. The part maintains identical 200 V reverse voltage and TO-220-3 package. Forward voltage at the higher current rating (1.1 V at 15 A) must be evaluated for the specific application.

Q: Can I use a lower-rated current part as a substitute?

A: VFT10200C-E3/4W is rated at 5 A, below the MBRF10200CTH's 10 A rating. This part is suitable only for applications where circuit current does not exceed 5 A. Using a lower-rated part in a circuit designed for 10 A operation will result in device failure or thermal damage.

Q: What is the reverse leakage difference between parts?

A: The MBRF10200CTH specifies 100 µA reverse leakage at 200 V. MBRF10200CT specifies 1 mA (1000 µA), which is significantly higher. Vishay TMBS® series parts specify 150 µA to 160 µA. Higher reverse leakage increases standby current consumption. Applications sensitive to leakage current must evaluate this parameter against circuit requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts in the same package?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use TO-220-3 Full Pack with isolated tab packaging, identical to the MBRF10200CTH. Pin configuration and mechanical dimensions are compatible for direct board-level replacement without layout modification.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to substitute parts?

A: All parts listed are ROHS3 compliant. MBRF10200CTH and MBRF10200CT maintain AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Vishay TMBS® series parts are REACH unaffected. Verify compliance requirements for the specific application before selection.
