MBR4060PT-E3/45

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBR4060PT-E3/45 is a dual common-cathode Schottky rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a TO-247AD (TO-3P) package with a maximum average forward rectified current of 40 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60 V. The device offers a peak forward surge current capability of 400 A per diode and operates within a junction temperature range of -65 °C to +150 °C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 0.80 V at 40 A and 25 °C, with a thermal resistance from junction to case of 1.2 °C/W.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Guardring construction provides overvoltage protection for enhanced reliability.
• Low forward voltage drop contributes to lower power losses and high efficiency.
• High forward surge capability supports robust performance under transient conditions.
• Suitable for high frequency operation in switching applications.

Diode Arrays Applications

• Low voltage, high frequency rectification in switching mode power supplies
• Freewheeling diodes in DC/DC converters
• Polarity protection circuits

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official Vishay documentation to confirm compliance with RoHS directives and material categorization standards. Ensure that the TO-247AD package dimensions and mounting torque specifications align with the target assembly requirements. Confirm availability status as distribution channels may vary for this component series.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high current handling and low forward voltage drop in a through-hole package. The dual common-cathode configuration simplifies circuit design for synchronous rectification or polarity protection. Evaluate thermal management strategies given the 1.2 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance to ensure operation remains within the specified temperature limits.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to the MBR40xxPT series of dual common-cathode Schottky rectifiers from Vishay. The series covers reverse voltage ratings from 35 V to 60 V, sharing identical current and thermal characteristics. The E3 suffix indicates lead-free terminals compliant with JESD 201 class 1A whisker test standards, while the /45 suffix denotes tube packaging.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same Vishay series include MBR4035PT, MBR4045PT, and MBR4050PT, which share identical electrical and mechanical specifications except for the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage rating.
