MBR1660CT-BP

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBR1660CT-BP is a dual common cathode Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features a TO-220AB package with a maximum average forward current of 16A at a case temperature of 100°C and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60V. The device exhibits a typical forward voltage drop of 0.80V at 25°C and a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 125A for an 8.3ms half-sine wave pulse. Electrical characteristics are specified at a junction temperature of 25°C unless otherwise noted.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm compliance status. The "BP" designation indicates RoHS compliance and lead-free finish according to manufacturer specifications. Confirm whether halogen-free requirements are met by checking for the additional "-HF" suffix in the final part number. Ensure procurement channels are authorized distributors to guarantee genuine parts and full traceability as per company policy.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a 60V blocking voltage and 16A continuous current handling in a TO-220AB form factor. Consider the thermal resistance of 2°C/W junction-to-case when designing heat dissipation strategies. Evaluate the forward voltage drop characteristics against system efficiency targets, noting that values increase with higher junction temperatures.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to the MBR1620CT through MBR1660CT series of 16 Amp Schottky Barrier Rectifiers. The series covers reverse voltage ratings from 20 Volts to 60 Volts. All variants share identical physical dimensions and thermal characteristics within the TO-220AB package, differing primarily in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering 16A, 60V Schottky rectifiers in the TO-220AB package. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure equivalent thermal resistance and surge current capabilities match the original design requirements before substitution.
