Product details
Overview
MBRD20150CT-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 150 V, 10 A per leg (20 A total), dual common-cathode Schottky barrier rectifier in TO252 (DPAK) package, featuring 0.90 V max forward voltage at 10 A and 0.05 mA max reverse leakage at 150 V, used for polarity protection and recirculating diode functions in DC power supplies and motor drive circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MBRD20150CT-13 datasheet, MBRD20150CT-13 pinout, MBRD20150CT-13 application, or MBRD20150CT-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include per-leg current rating, thermal resistance (RθJC = 6 °C/W), low VF at high IF, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish, and TO252 package suitability for surface-mount power dissipation.
Technical Context
This dual Schottky rectifier integrates two independent 10 A legs sharing a common cathode terminal, enabling synchronous half-wave rectification or bidirectional clamping. Its guard ring die construction enhances transient immunity, while the low VF minimizes conduction loss in high-frequency switching converters.
Rated for continuous operation up to +175°C junction temperature, it delivers 170 A non-repetitive surge capability (8.3 ms half-sine) and exhibits RθJA = 22 °C/W on standard 2-inch Al board - critical for thermal design in compact industrial power modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 150 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage per leg; defines safe blocking capability in 12–48 V system bus protection. |
| IO (per leg) | 10 A - Continuous average forward current per anode leg; supports 20 A total dual-leg output with shared cathode. |
| VF (max) | 0.90 V @ 10 A, +25°C - Low conduction loss enables >92% efficiency in 12 V/10 A SMPS outputs. |
| IR (max) | 0.05 mA @ 150 V, +25°C - Minimal leakage preserves standby power integrity in always-on systems. |
| RθJC | 6 °C/W - Enables direct heatsinking to PCB copper; allows ~12 W dissipation before exceeding 125°C case rise. |
| IFSM | 170 A - Withstands inrush surges from capacitive loads or motor startup without degradation. |
| Polarity | Common-cathode dual configuration - Simplifies layout for dual-rail or center-tapped transformer rectification. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO252 (DPAK), surface-mount, single-row 3-terminal outline with exposed thermal pad. Molded green compound, UL 94V-0 rated, 0.317 g mass.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode 1 (Pin 1) | Input terminal for first rectifier leg | Accepts AC or switched input; connects to primary-side switch node in flyback or buck-derived topologies. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Common cathode node for both legs | Output node for DC bus; requires wide copper pour for thermal and current handling (≥200 mils). |
| Anode 2 (Pin 3) | Input terminal for second rectifier leg | Enables dual-input rectification (e.g., dual-phase or redundancy); electrically isolated from Anode 1. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring die construction | Improves ESD and transient robustness without external TVS, reducing BOM count in automotive body control modules. |
| Low VF at high IF | 0.90 V @ 10 A reduces I²R losses by ~35% vs. comparable silicon diodes, lowering thermal stress in enclosed enclosures. |
| TO252 thermal performance | RθJC = 6 °C/W allows direct PCB heatsinking - eliminates need for discrete heatsinks in ≤15 W applications. |
| RoHS & Halogen-free compliance | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and <900 ppm Br/Cl; satisfies IPC-1752A reporting for green electronics manufacturing. |
Applications
| DC Power Supply Input Protection | Motor Drive Freewheeling |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Reverse-polarity protection at 24 V DC input of industrial PLC power module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Polarity protection diode placed in series with input rail to block reverse connection. Use Value: Prevents catastrophic failure during field wiring errors; 0.90 V drop limits power loss to <9 W at 10 A. | Use Scenario: Recirculating path for brushed DC motor back-EMF during PWM braking. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode across motor winding to clamp inductive kick. Use Value: 170 A surge rating absorbs peak energy without avalanche breakdown; fast recovery avoids cross-conduction. |
| Synchronous Rectification | Redundant Power OR-ing |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 48 V telecom DC-DC converter operating at 300 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-VF Schottky rectifier replacing MOSFET synchronous switch in cost-sensitive designs. Use Value: Eliminates gate drive complexity while maintaining >90% efficiency at full load due to sub-1 V VF. | Use Scenario: OR-ing diode pair in dual 12 V power supply system for server motherboard. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-anode common-cathode configuration enables seamless power source switchover. Use Value: Shared cathode simplifies output bus routing; 0.05 mA leakage prevents reverse current drain between supplies. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS215H-TP (Micro Commercial) | Single 15 V/2 A device; TO277 package; VF = 0.85 V @ 2 A; no dual-leg topology. | Only suitable for low-current single-leg use; cannot replace dual 10 A function. | Select only for space-constrained 2 A applications where dual-leg functionality is unnecessary. |
| SB2150-E3/54 (Vishay) | Single 150 V/2 A Schottky; DO-201AD; VF = 0.87 V @ 2 A; higher RθJA (>50 °C/W). | Limited to ≤2 A per leg; unsuitable for 10 A thermal or current demands. | Use only in legacy through-hole designs with derated current (<1.5 A) and adequate heatsinking. |
Compared with SS215H-TP and SB2150-E3/54, MBRD20150CT-13 uniquely delivers dual 10 A legs in surface-mount TO252 with 6 °C/W thermal resistance - making it irreplaceable for high-density, high-current DC-DC and motor control layouts requiring integrated dual-path rectification.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for MBRD20150CT-13?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +175°C, with continuous operation supported across –55°C to +175°C ambient range. Thermal design must ensure RθJC × Pdiss + Tc ≤ 175°C; typical derating begins above +125°C ambient per Figure 4 in DS37086.
Is MBRD20150CT-13 suitable for use in automotive under-hood applications?
Yes - its –55°C to +175°C operating range, AEC-Q101 pre-qualification alignment (per Diodes' internal stress testing), and robust guard ring structure support under-hood use in engine control units and HVAC blowers, provided PCB layout meets thermal requirements.
How does the common-cathode configuration affect PCB layout?
The shared cathode (Pin 2) serves as the main DC output node and must be routed with minimum impedance: ≥200 mil wide copper, direct connection to internal ground/power plane, and thermal vias beneath the exposed pad to inner layers for heat extraction.
Can MBRD20150CT-13 replace a single 20 A Schottky in a bridge rectifier design?
No - it is a dual common-cathode device, not a full bridge. It replaces two discrete 10 A Schottkys sharing one cathode node, but lacks the four-terminal configuration required for single-phase bridge rectification; a dedicated bridge like GBU6K would be needed instead.
