Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting and Handling:

   • Handle the MBR20200FCT with care to avoid mechanical stress.
   • Ensure that the mounting surface is clean and flat.
   • Use appropriate thermal management techniques to maintain the junction temperature within the specified range.

2. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the anode and cathode terminals correctly to avoid reverse polarity.
   • Ensure that the connections are secure and free from corrosion.

3. Thermal Management:

   • Mount the diode on a heatsink if operating at high currents or in high ambient temperatures.
   • Monitor the junction temperature to ensure it does not exceed 175°C.

4. Surge Current Handling:

   • The diode can handle surge currents up to 120 A for short durations (10 ms single pulse). Ensure that these conditions do not occur frequently to avoid premature failure.

5. Storage:

   • Store the diode in a dry, cool place within the temperature range of -65°C to 150°C.
   • Avoid exposure to corrosive environments.

6. Testing:

   • Before installation, perform a visual inspection to ensure there are no physical damages.
   • Test the diode using a multimeter or a dedicated diode tester to verify its functionality.

7. Compliance:

   • Ensure that the application complies with all relevant safety and regulatory standards.

By following these instructions, you can ensure optimal performance and longevity of the MBR20200FCT diode.
