MBR1535CT

Diode Arrays Overview

The Vishay MBR1535CT is a dual Schottky rectifier in a center-tap TO-220AB package. It features two independent anodes sharing a common cathode, providing a total average forward current of 15 A (7.5 A per leg). The device has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 35 V and operates at junction temperatures up to 150 °C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage drop of 0.84 V at 15 A and 25 °C, with a typical surge current capability of 690 A.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the ordering information table to confirm lead-free status and production type. Ensure the voltage rating matches the application requirements, as the series includes variants with different reverse voltage capabilities. Confirm that the TO-220AB package dimensions align with the intended mounting constraints and thermal management design.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when low forward voltage drop and high-frequency operation are required. Consider the thermal resistance values for heatsink sizing if operating near the maximum current limits. Verify that the 35 V reverse voltage rating provides sufficient margin for the circuit's peak inverse voltage conditions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the MBR15..CT series of Schottky rectifiers from Vishay High Power Products. The series offers options for both 35 V and 45 V reverse voltage ratings while maintaining identical current handling and packaging specifications. The 'CT' designation indicates the center-tap configuration essential for specific bridge or full-wave rectification topologies.
