Product details
Overview
MBR1050CT from Diodes Incorporated is a 10A dual common-cathode Schottky barrier rectifier in TO-220AB package, rated for 50V peak repetitive reverse voltage, with maximum forward voltage drop of 0.65V at 5A and 25°C, leakage current ≤0.1mA at rated DC blocking voltage, and thermal resistance of 3 K/W junction-to-case - used in DC power input polarity protection and flyback energy recirculation in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MBR1050CT datasheet, MBR1050CT pinout, MBR1050CT application, or MBR1050CT equivalent, key selection criteria include per-leg 5A average rectified current capability, low VF performance up to +125°C, AEC-Q101 qualification for reliability-critical environments, and TO-220AB mechanical compatibility with standard heatsink mounting.
Technical Context
This dual-element Schottky rectifier integrates two independent anode terminals (Pin 1 and Pin 3) sharing a common cathode (Pin 2), enabling synchronous half-wave rectification or independent leg operation in dual-rail or redundancy configurations. Its guard ring die construction enhances transient surge immunity, while the low VF minimizes conduction losses in high-frequency switching applications.
Rated for continuous operation from –55°C to +150°C, it supports 100A non-repetitive peak forward surge current (8.3ms half-sine), and exhibits typical junction-to-case thermal resistance of 3 K/W when mounted on a 45mm × 20mm × 12mm heatsink - critical for thermal management in compact 12V/24V DC-DC front-end designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum peak repetitive reverse voltage per leg; defines safe DC blocking margin in 36V nominal systems. |
| IO (per leg) | 5 A - Average rectified output current per anode-cathode path at +25°C case temperature; total device rating is 10A. |
| VF max @ 5A, 25°C | 0.65 V - Forward voltage drop limiting conduction loss to ≤3.25W per leg at full load. |
| IR max @ 25°C | 0.1 mA - Reverse leakage current at rated DC blocking voltage; ensures minimal standby power loss. |
| RθJC | 3 K/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables direct heatsink attachment without thermal interface material for <10W dissipation. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Non-repetitive surge current handling; sustains brief inrush or fault currents in unregulated inputs. |
| CT typ | 150 pF - Total capacitance per element at 1 MHz and 4V reverse bias; limits high-frequency noise coupling in EMI-sensitive circuits. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220AB - molded plastic case with matte tin–annealed copper leadframe, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, moisture sensitivity level 1, and 1.95g mass. Mounting tab (case) is electrically connected to Pin 2 (cathode).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode 1 | Independent input terminal for first rectifying leg; accepts AC or switched DC input. |
| Pin 2 | Common Cathode | Shared output node for both legs; electrically tied to metal tab for thermal and electrical grounding. |
| Pin 3 | Anode 2 | Independent input terminal for second rectifying leg; enables dual-path or redundant rectification. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring die construction | Improves ESD and transient voltage immunity without external TVS, supporting IEC 61000-4-5 surge robustness. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and UHAST - suitable for under-hood power modules. |
| Lead-free & halogen-free | Meets RoHS 2 and JEDEC J-STD-020 Level 1; eliminates bromine (<900 ppm), chlorine (<900 ppm), and antimony (<1000 ppm). |
| Low thermal resistance | 3 K/W RθJC allows direct heatsink mounting - reduces need for thermal pads or paste in space-constrained 1U power supplies. |
Applications
| DC Power Input Polarity Protection | Flyback Energy Recirculation |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Prevents damage from reversed battery or adapter connection in 12V/24V industrial controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-anode Schottky diode configured as OR-ing element with common cathode output to system rail. Use Value: Enables zero-loss reverse-blocking with <0.65V forward drop, reducing heat generation versus MOSFET-based solutions. |
Use Scenario: Freewheeling path for inductive loads in relay drivers and solenoid control circuits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-recovery recirculation diode across coil windings during switch-off transitions. Use Value: 150pF capacitance and sub-ns recovery minimize voltage overshoot and EMI emissions during turn-off. |
| Dual-Rail DC-DC Front-End | Redundant Power Supply Input |
|
Use Scenario: Independent rectification of two isolated AC/DC outputs feeding separate 5V and 3.3V LDO inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two discrete Schottky paths sharing one cathode output node to reduce component count. Use Value: Dual-leg integration saves PCB area versus two discrete TO-220 devices while maintaining thermal isolation. |
Use Scenario: N+1 redundant 48V telecom rectifier modules where failure of one input must not disrupt output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-cathode configuration enables automatic current sharing between parallel inputs via forward-drop matching. Use Value: Matched VF characteristics (±5% typical) ensure balanced load distribution without external balancing resistors. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STPS10H100CG | 100V VRRM, same TO-220AB package, 0.78V VF max @ 5A, 0.5mA IR - higher voltage rating but higher conduction loss. | Preferred in 48V bus systems requiring >60V margin; less suitable for 12V/24V where low VF dominates efficiency. | Select when system VR exceeds 55V; verify thermal derating due to higher VF. |
| VBSE1050-M3/45 | 50V VRRM, TO-220AC package (isolated tab), 0.62V VF max @ 5A, 0.15mA IR - electrically identical but electrically isolated case. | Required where cathode must be floating from chassis ground; adds isolation but increases cost and thermal resistance. | Choose only when galvanic isolation of the cathode is mandatory; otherwise MBR1050CT offers lower RθJC. |
Compared with STPS10H100CG and VBSE1050-M3/45, MBR1050CT delivers optimal balance of low forward voltage, tight leakage control, and AEC-Q101 qualification in a thermally efficient, cost-effective TO-220AB package - making it preferred for 12V–36V industrial and automotive power interfaces where thermal density and reliability are prioritized.

FAQ
Is MBR1050CT pin-compatible with MBR1040CT or MBR1060CT-I?
Yes - all three share identical TO-220AB pinout (Anode1–Cathode–Anode2), same mechanical footprint, and common cathode topology. Voltage ratings differ (40V/50V/60V), so substitution requires verification of reverse voltage margin in the target circuit.
What is the maximum continuous case temperature for MBR1050CT at full 5A per leg?
The device supports continuous operation up to +150°C case temperature. At 5A per leg and 25°C ambient, thermal design must limit TC to ≤125°C to maintain VF and IR within datasheet limits - achievable with a 45mm × 20mm × 12mm heatsink per Diodes' recommended layout.
Does MBR1050CT require a minimum load or snubber network?
No - as a Schottky rectifier, it has no minority-carrier storage delay and does not require snubbers for typical flyback or polarity protection use. However, a small RC snubber (e.g., 100Ω + 100pF) may be added across each anode–cathode pair in high-dI/dt switching applications to suppress ringing.
Can MBR1050CT be used in surface-mount PCB assemblies?
No - it is through-hole TO-220AB packaged and requires vertical mounting with tab secured to a heatsink. Surface-mount alternatives like the DFLS1200Q (dual Schottky in SO-8) exist but differ in current rating, thermal path, and voltage capability.
