MCL101B-TR

The MCL101B-TR is a Single Rectifier Diode with an Ultra-Fast Rectifier. The rectifier can provide ultra-fast, low-voltage reverse blocking capabilities with an integrated shunt, eliminating the need for a separate shunt diode. This diode can also be used for high-current applications, providing both low-voltage reverse blocking and high-current rectification.

The MCL101B-TR rectifier diode is commonly used in AC and DC power supplies, switch-mode power supplies, and other electronic applications that require the fast rectification and the ultra-fast, low-voltage reverse blocking capabilities that the MCL101B-TR can provide. This device is also used in automotive applications, such as power supplies, lighting, and audio systems.

The working principle of the MCL101B-TR is as follows: When a positive voltage is applied, the diode allows current to flow in the forward direction, from Anode to Cathode. Conversely, when a negative voltage is applied, the diode prevents current from flowing in the reverse direction, from Cathode to Anode. The integrated shunt built into the device provides additional protection by shunting current in the case of an overvoltage event.

The MCL101B-TR diode can be used as a single-ended rectifier or in a bridge rectifier circuit. In both cases, the rectifier can provide high current rectification and ultra-fast reverse-blocking capabilities. It can also be used as a fast-shooting circuit breaker, providing superior protection against overvoltage events.

The MCL101B-TR has a maximum power rating of 6A, a forward voltage drop of 0.7V, a reverse-blocking voltage of >500V, and a reverse-leakage current of <2mA. This device also has an integrated shunt resistor with a resistance of 0.1 ohms, which limits the current draw of the device when an overvoltage event occurs.

Overall, the MCL101B-TR rectifier has proven to be an excellent device for use in a wide range of applications, providing high-current rectification and ultra-fast, low-voltage blocking capabilities with an integrated shunt. While the device has a relatively low-power rating, its low forward voltage drop and integrated shunt makes it well-suited for high-current applications.
