MBR6040PT

Diode Arrays Overview

The Diodes Incorporated MBR6040PT is a discontinued single-phase Schottky barrier rectifier housed in a TO-3P case. It features a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 40V and an average rectified output current of 60A at a case temperature of 125°C. The device exhibits a forward voltage drop of 0.75V at 60A with a case temperature of 25°C, alongside a peak reverse current of 1.0mA at 25°C. Its non-repetitive peak forward surge current capacity is rated at 500A under JEDEC testing conditions.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

This component is officially marked as obsolete and discontinued by the manufacturer. No new production units are available through standard distribution channels. Engineers must verify end-of-life status before finalizing designs. Sourcing should focus on identifying verified replacement components or alternative manufacturers offering equivalent specifications to ensure long-term supply chain stability.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Selection requires evaluating thermal management strategies due to the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance. Designers must account for forward current derating curves when operating above ambient temperatures. The specific 40V rating dictates suitability for low-voltage systems where higher voltage parts would be inefficient. Verify that the TO-3P package dimensions align with existing board layouts and heatsinking infrastructure.

Diode Arrays Part Context

The MBR6040PT belongs to a series of 60A Schottky barrier rectifiers produced by Diodes Incorporated. This family includes variants with different reverse voltage ratings, such as the MBR6030PT, MBR6035PT, and MBR6045PT. All members share identical physical packaging and general electrical characteristics, differing primarily in their maximum repetitive reverse voltage limits.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the MBR6030PT, MBR6035PT, and MBR6045PT from the same manufacturer series. These alternatives maintain the same 60A current rating and TO-3P package while offering different reverse voltage thresholds.
