using one leg of MBR20200CT question?

crippledchicken · 22nd June 2006, 03:06 PM

using one leg of this dual diode, would i have 10 amp/200v rating? or does voltage rating also, get cut in half? thanks for any info!

No just current rating is affected, as they are normally paralleled.

Hi crippledchicken, thanks, I’m curious about this also. Your MBR20200CT is a common cathode TO-220 Schottky diode (as you know)

I was encouraged to make a simple bridge using the common cathode TO220 as well from the “What Schottky have been used’ thread. Freakyone supplied this schematic

And I drew this one from it –

Wondering the same thing. It seems correct, but curious as well.

Hope you don’t mind if I jump in looking for an answer/confirmation as well.
