The maximum operating temperature range for the MBRB20100CT is -55°C to 150°C, as specified in the datasheet. However, it's recommended to derate the device's power handling capability at higher temperatures to ensure reliable operation.
To ensure proper soldering, follow the recommended soldering profile and temperature guidelines provided in the datasheet. Additionally, use a solder with a melting point above 220°C to prevent damage to the device. It's also recommended to use a soldering iron with a temperature control to prevent overheating.
The recommended PCB layout and spacing for the MBRB20100CT can be found in the datasheet's packaging information section. It's essential to follow these guidelines to ensure proper heat dissipation, reduce thermal resistance, and prevent electrical noise and interference.
The MBRB20100CT is a commercial-grade device, and its use in high-reliability or aerospace applications may require additional testing and qualification. It's recommended to consult with International Rectifier's application engineers or a qualified reliability expert to determine the device's suitability for such applications.
The MBRB20100CT is an ESD-sensitive device, and proper handling and storage procedures must be followed to prevent damage. Use an ESD wrist strap or mat, and ensure that all equipment and tools are properly grounded. Avoid touching the device's pins or leads, and handle the device by the body or package only.
