Connect each end of the secondary winding to pin 1 and pin 3 (the two anodes). The output DC+ is taken from the cathode (tab). Add a filter capacitor from DC+ to GND. This gives full-wave rectification using both diodes alternately on each half-cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does the cathode tab need to be electrically isolated from the heatsink?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The cathode tab is electrically connected to the cathode (DC+ output). If multiple MBR20150CT are mounted on the same heatsink, their cathodes will be shorted together — which is acceptable for parallel operation. If the heatsink is grounded (chassis), use an insulating pad (TO-220 mica or silicone pad) between the tab and heatsink, and an insulating bushing on the mounting screw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What heatsink is needed for MBR20150CT at 20A?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: At 20A total (10A per diode), power dissipation = 2 × (10A × 0.75V) = 15W. With TO-220 thermal resistance junction-to-case of ~2°C\/W, junction temperature rise = 15W × 2 = 30°C above case. Use a heatsink with thermal resistance ≤2°C\/W with thermal paste to keep junction below 125°C at 25°C ambient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePackage Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e5× MBR20150CT Dual Schottky Rectifier Diode (TO-220)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Keszoox","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46991468626155,"sku":"\u003cnone\u003e","price":12.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/1005\/8731\/files\/mbr20150ct-to220-schottky-rectifier-diode-20a-150v.webp?v=1761718744","url":"https:\/\/keszoox.com\/products\/mbr20150ct-schottky-rectifier-diode-to220-20a-150v-dual-fast-recovery-5pack","provider":"Keszoox","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
