Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MBRF20150CT-Y is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Diode configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Technology: Schottky
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 150 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): 20 A
• Package / Case: TO-220-3 Full Pack, Isolated Tab
• Mounting Type: Through Hole

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: Must not exceed specified maximum
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: Must not exceed specified maximum
• Operating Temperature - Junction: Must encompass -55°C to 150°C range
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Parts meeting all primary criteria and secondary compatibility parameters are classified as direct substitutes. Parts with identical electrical specifications and packaging are classified as equivalent parts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MBRF20150CT (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation)

The MBRF20150CT is a direct substitute for the MBRF20150CT-Y. Both parts share identical diode configuration, voltage rating, current rating, package type, and mounting specifications. The MBRF20150CT exhibits a higher forward voltage (1.05 V @ 20 A versus 850 mV @ 20 A), which represents a measurable difference in thermal performance characteristics. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. The MBRF20150CT carries significantly higher inventory availability (30600 pieces versus 1042 pieces). Product status is Active for both parts.

MBRF20150CTL (Diodes Incorporated)

The MBRF20150CTL is not recommended as a substitute. This part is classified as Obsolete and carries REACH Affected status, indicating regulatory constraints on future availability and use. Insufficient electrical parameter data is provided for this part to establish full compatibility with the MBRF20150CT-Y specifications. The transition to this part introduces supply chain risk and regulatory compliance complications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MBRF20150CT be used as a direct replacement for MBRF20150CT-Y?

A: Yes. Both parts are Schottky diode arrays with 1 pair common cathode configuration, 150V reverse voltage rating, 20A average rectified current per diode, and TO-220-3 Full Pack isolated tab packaging. Both are mounted through hole and maintain identical operating temperature ranges. The MBRF20150CT is an active product with higher inventory availability.

Q: What is the difference in forward voltage between MBRF20150CT-Y and MBRF20150CT?

A: The MBRF20150CT-Y specifies 850 mV maximum forward voltage at 20A, while the MBRF20150CT specifies 1.05 V maximum forward voltage at 20A. This 200 mV difference affects power dissipation and thermal performance in the application circuit.

Q: Why is MBRF20150CTL not recommended as a substitute?

A: The MBRF20150CTL is classified as Obsolete and carries REACH Affected status. Insufficient electrical parameter specifications are provided to confirm compatibility with the MBRF20150CT-Y. Obsolete parts present supply chain discontinuity risk and regulatory compliance concerns.

Q: Are the packaging dimensions identical between MBRF20150CT-Y and MBRF20150CT?

A: Both parts use TO-220-3 Full Pack with isolated tab packaging and through hole mounting. Mechanical compatibility is established based on identical package specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS and REACH compliance requirements?

A: The MBRF20150CT-Y and MBRF20150CT both maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. The MBRF20150CTL is ROHS3 compliant but carries REACH Affected status, which restricts its use in certain regulatory jurisdictions.

Q: What is the reverse leakage current specification for these parts?

A: Both the MBRF20150CT-Y and MBRF20150CT specify 100 µA maximum reverse leakage current at 150V. This parameter is identical across both active products.

Q: Are there any temperature range differences between substitute parts?

A: No. Both the MBRF20150CT-Y and MBRF20150CT maintain identical operating junction temperature ranges of -55°C to 150°C.
