MBR1560CT

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBR1560CT is a dual Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, housed in a TO-220AB package. It features two common cathode silicon elements rated for a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60V and an average rectified output current of 15A per leg. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 0.90V at 15A and +25°C, with a non-repetitive peak forward surge current capability of 150A. Operating junction temperatures range from -65°C to +150°C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging details, as standard tubes contain fifty units per tube. Ensure compliance with AEC-Q101 reliability standards if automotive-grade performance is required. Confirm that the component meets halogen and antimony-free requirements for green device specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common cathode configuration is necessary for space-constrained designs requiring high efficiency. The TO-220AB package facilitates effective thermal management via heatsink mounting. Consider the 60V reverse voltage rating and 15A continuous current capacity to ensure adequate margins for the intended load conditions and operating temperature ranges.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the MBR15xxCT series of Schottky barrier rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated. The series includes variants with different reverse voltage ratings, such as the MBR1545CT (45V) and MBR1560CT (60V). All members share identical physical dimensions, pin configurations, and general electrical characteristics, differing primarily in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage specifications.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering equivalent 15A, 60V dual Schottky rectifiers in TO-220AB packages. Verify that substitute parts meet or exceed the 150A surge current rating and maintain similar forward voltage drop characteristics to ensure circuit compatibility without redesign.
