MBRF20200CT-Y Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MBRF20200CT-Y is a Schottky diode array manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, configured as a 1 Pair Common Cathode arrangement with a 200 V DC reverse voltage rating and 20 A average rectified current per diode. The device is packaged in a TO-220-3 Full Pack with isolated tab for through-hole mounting applications. This component is classified as Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or application-specific requirements within the allowed parameter ranges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MBRF20200CT-Y is determined by strict alignment with the following critical 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 Full Pack, Isolated Tab
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): Substitute parts must meet or exceed the 20 A specification
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: Lower forward voltage drop is acceptable
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: Lower reverse leakage is acceptable
• Speed Classification: Variation permitted within Schottky diode technology

The MBRF20200CT manufactured by Good-Ark Semiconductor qualifies as a substitute part based on matching all mandatory parameters. However, the Current - Average Rectified (Io) specification of 10 A per diode is lower than the main part specification of 20 A, which represents a functional limitation in current-handling capacity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MBRF20200CT-Y (Primary Component): The MBRF20200CT-Y from Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation is the specified component with full technical documentation and 1631 units in current inventory. This part maintains Active product status with complete compliance certifications including RoHS3 and REACH Unaffected designation. Selection of this part is appropriate for applications requiring the full 20 A average rectified current specification per diode.

MBRF20200CT (Substitute Component): The MBRF20200CT from Good-Ark Semiconductor is electrically and mechanically compatible within the TO-220-3 Full Pack, Isolated Tab package format. Both parts share identical reverse voltage rating (200 V), diode configuration (1 Pair Common Cathode), and Schottky technology classification. Both components maintain RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level rating. The substitute part is available in significantly higher inventory (22800 units). However, the Current - Average Rectified (Io) specification of 10 A per diode represents a 50% reduction in current-handling capacity compared to the main part specification of 20 A. Selection of the substitute part is appropriate only for applications where the maximum required current per diode does not exceed 10 A. The substitute part demonstrates superior reverse leakage characteristics (200 nA versus 100 µA at 200 V), indicating lower standby current consumption.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MBRF20200CT substitute for the MBRF20200CT-Y in all applications?

A: The MBRF20200CT is mechanically and electrically compatible in terms of package format, reverse voltage rating, and diode configuration. However, the substitute part has a maximum average rectified current rating of 10 A per diode, compared to 20 A for the MBRF20200CT-Y. Substitution is valid only for applications where the required current per diode does not exceed 10 A.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is the Current - Average Rectified (Io) specification: MBRF20200CT-Y is rated for 20 A per diode, while MBRF20200CT is rated for 10 A per diode. The MBRF20200CT demonstrates lower reverse leakage current (200 nA versus 100 µA at 200 V). Both parts share identical reverse voltage rating (200 V), package format (TO-220-3 Full Pack, Isolated Tab), diode configuration (1 Pair Common Cathode), and compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected).

Q: Are the package dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Both parts use the TO-220-3 Full Pack with isolated tab package format for through-hole mounting. The mechanical compatibility is confirmed by identical supplier device package designation (ITO-220AB).

Q: What is the significance of the reverse leakage current difference?

A: The MBRF20200CT exhibits reverse leakage current of 200 nA at 200 V, compared to 100 µA for the MBRF20200CT-Y. Lower reverse leakage current reduces standby power consumption and heat generation in applications with sustained reverse bias conditions.

Q: Can I use the MBRF20200CT in a 20 A application?

A: The MBRF20200CT is rated for a maximum average rectified current of 10 A per diode. Operating this component at 20 A would exceed its electrical specifications and is not permitted.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both the MBRF20200CT-Y and MBRF20200CT are RoHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these components?

A: The MBRF20200CT-Y specifies a junction operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C. Operating temperature range data for the MBRF20200CT is not provided in the available specifications.
