MBR6040CT

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBR6040CT is a dual-die Schottky barrier rectifier in a TO-220AB package, rated for 60A average forward current and 40V repetitive peak reverse voltage. It features a maximum junction temperature of 150°C and a surge current capability of 250A. The device offers low forward voltage drop (max 0.97V at 60A) and high efficiency. Thermal resistance from junction to case is typically 0.5°C/W. It complies with RoHS standards and IEC 61249-2-21 halogen-free requirements.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Guard ring structure provides enhanced protection against overvoltage transients.
• Low power loss and high efficiency design suitable for energy-conscious applications.
• High surge current capability ensures robustness during transient load conditions.

Diode Arrays Applications

• Switching mode power supplies
• DC to DC converters
• Adapters

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix when purchasing. The standard MBR6040CT does not include automotive qualification. Select the MBR6040CTH variant only if AEC-Q101 certification is required for the application. Confirm tube packing quantities match project needs.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for general-purpose rectification where low forward voltage drop is critical. Ensure thermal management accommodates the 0.5°C/W junction-to-case resistance. Verify that the 40V rating exceeds the circuit's peak reverse voltage requirements under all operating conditions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to Taiwan Semiconductor's Schottky Barrier Rectifier series. It utilizes silicon epitaxial planar chip technology with metal-silicon junction construction. The TO-220AB plastic package provides mechanical stability and ease of mounting for through-hole PCB assembly.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 60A, 40V Schottky diodes in TO-220AB packages. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substitution.

Diode Arrays FAQ
