MBR2515L

Single Diodes Overview

The MBR2515L is a Schottky Barrier Rectifier rated for 15 V peak repetitive reverse voltage and 25 A average rectified forward current. It utilizes the Switch-mode Power Rectifier architecture with a TO-220AC (CASE 221B) package. The device features a maximum thermal resistance of 70 °C/W junction-to-ambient and operates at junction temperatures up to 100°C. Electrical characteristics include a typical instantaneous forward voltage of 0.41 V at 25 A and 25°C, and a non-repetitive peak surge current capability of 150 A.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Low forward voltage design for high efficiency
• High surge capacity for robust operation
• Guard-ring structure for stress protection

Single Diodes Applications

• Power supply output rectification
• Power management systems
• Instrumentation circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix when sourcing components. The base part number MBR2515L denotes the standard specification, while the 'G' suffix indicates a lead-free package variant. Confirm that the received inventory matches the required environmental compliance standards and pin configuration before integration into production assemblies.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring low power loss and high efficiency in switching power supplies. Ensure the operating case temperature remains within the specified limits to maintain the 25 A rating. Evaluate thermal management requirements carefully, as the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is relatively high without an external heat sink.

Single Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to onsemi's Switch-mode Power Rectifier family, designed specifically for low-voltage, high-frequency applications. It employs Schottky barrier technology to minimize reverse recovery time and forward voltage drop, making it suitable for improving overall system efficiency compared to standard silicon rectifiers.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

The MBR2515LG serves as the direct lead-free equivalent to the MBR2515L. Both variants share identical electrical ratings and mechanical dimensions, allowing for interchangeability based solely on environmental compliance requirements.
