MUR10020CT

Diodes are semiconductor devices that have two electrodes, respectively an anode and a cathode, and which act as a one-way gate for electrical current. Rectifiers are diodes that allow electrical current to flow in only one direction and are used to convert AC (alternating current) power to DC (direct current) power. Arrays are an assembly of two or more electronic components, such as semiconductor devices or integrated circuits, mounted in a single package. The MUR10020CT is a diode rectifier array that combines two diodes in a single package.

MUR10020CT Application Field and Working Principle

The MUR10020CT rectifier array is mainly used for power management applications in automotive environments. It provides reliability and efficient power dissipation to handle high-voltage surges in the automotive power system. It can handle both AC and DC current, with a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60V.

The MUR10020CT working principle is based on the rectifying effect of two diodes connected in antiparallel, meaning they are connected with the positive terminals of each connected to the negative terminals of the other. This allows current to flow in only one direction, resulting in a DC current output. The advantage of a diode rectifier array is that it provides a compact, space-saving alternative to the installation of two separate diodes, while still providing reliability and optimum power dissipation.

The MUR10020CT is designed to handle high-current applications with a maximum average forward current of 8A, making it ideal for automotive use. It is constructed using a PRSSOX technology and offers superior performance in terms of leakage current, breakdown voltage and thermal management. The device is housed in a Small Outline (SO) package, making it ideal for limited space applications.

The MUR10020CT diode rectifier array is the perfect choice for automotive power management applications that require both reliability and efficiency. Its high handling capability and small package make it an ideal choice for use in applications requiring limited space.
