MBR2560CT

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBR2560CT is a dual common cathode Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 60V and an average rectified output current of 30A at a case temperature of +130°C. The maximum forward voltage drop is 0.75V at 15A and 0.65V at 30A, both measured at a case temperature of +25°C. Peak reverse current is limited to 1.0mA at +25°C and 50mA at +125°C. The device utilizes a TO-220AB through-hole package with bright tin terminals.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official manufacturer documentation to confirm electrical ratings and package type. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and halogen-free requirements as specified in the datasheet. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the required packaging configuration before finalizing procurement orders.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring low forward voltage drop and high switching efficiency. The 60V rating suits low-voltage applications where polarity protection or free-wheeling is necessary. Consider the thermal resistance and derating curves when designing heatsinking solutions for sustained high-current operation.

Diode Arrays Part Context
