MBRB1560CTHM3/I

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBRB1560CTHM3/I is a dual common cathode Schottky rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a 60 V maximum repetitive reverse voltage and an average forward current of 7.5 A per diode. The device utilizes a TO-263AB (D2PAK) surface-mount package with a lead-free tin-plated termination finish. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 750 mV at 7.5 A and a maximum reverse leakage current of 1 mA at 60 V. It operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to 150°C.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Dual common cathode configuration for efficient bridge or freewheeling applications
• Low forward voltage drop to minimize conduction losses
• High surge current capability for robust transient protection
• Lead-free packaging compliant with RoHS directives

Diode Arrays Applications

• DC-DC converter output rectification
• Freewheeling diodes in synchronous rectifier circuits
• Power supply input protection stages

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number against official Vishay documentation, as the suffix 'H' may indicate specific tape-and-reel packaging variations rather than functional changes. Confirm that the requested component matches the standard MBRB1560CT-M3/I electrical specifications. Ensure compatibility with automated pick-and-place equipment due to the D2PAK footprint dimensions.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring low-loss rectification at 60 V with moderate current handling. The TO-263AB package provides superior thermal dissipation compared to smaller SMD packages. Consider the 750 mV forward voltage drop impact on overall system efficiency under full load conditions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This component belongs to the MBRB series of high-current Schottky rectifiers designed for general-purpose power conversion. The series offers various voltage ratings and current capacities in the D2PAK package. Vishay utilizes silicon Schottky technology to achieve fast switching speeds and low reverse recovery charge.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

The MBRB1560CT-E3/45 is a documented alternative within the same family, though it is listed as obsolete. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution.
