MBRB2060CT-M3/I

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBRB2060CT-M3/I is a dual common cathode Schottky rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It utilizes the D2PAK (TO-263AB) surface-mount package and incorporates Guardring technology for overvoltage protection. The device features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60 V and a total maximum average forward rectified current of 20 A, with each diode rated at 10 A. Key electrical parameters include a peak forward surge current of 150 A per diode and a typical junction-to-case thermal resistance of 2.0 °C/W. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -65 to +150 °C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix /I corresponds to the tape and reel delivery mode as specified in the datasheet. Confirm compliance with RoHS standards and halogen-free material categorization. Ensure the procurement matches the commercial grade designation associated with the M3 suffix rather than automotive grades. Validate package dimensions against the D2PAK (TO-263AB) outline provided in the mechanical data section.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common cathode configuration is required for low voltage applications. The D2PAK package offers lower thermal resistance compared to through-hole alternatives. Verify that the 60 V rating aligns with the circuit's peak reverse voltage requirements. Consider the 2.0 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance for heatsinking calculations in high-current scenarios.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the MBRB20xxCT series of Dual Common Cathode Schottky Rectifiers from Vishay. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings, such as the 45 V and 60 V versions. The MBRB prefix indicates the surface-mount D2PAK package, distinguishing it from the through-hole MBRF series. The product line emphasizes low power loss and high efficiency for modern power conversion designs.
