MBRS1560CTH

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBRS1560CTH is a dual Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a common cathode configuration housed in a TO-220AB package. The device is rated for a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60V and an average forward rectified current of 15A per diode. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage drop of 700mV at 15A, a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 400A, and a maximum reverse leakage current of 100µA at 60V. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +175°C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TH' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm tape-and-reel packaging or specific binning requirements. Ensure the component meets AEC-Q101 automotive qualification standards if required for the target application. Cross-reference the exact part number with the latest Taiwan Semiconductor documentation to avoid confusion with similar series variants.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring dual Schottky rectification in a single through-hole package. The 15A rating suits moderate to high current DC-DC converters. Compare the 700mV forward voltage against alternatives like the MBRB30H60CT-1G (620mV) if lower conduction loss is critical. Consider the TO-220AB footprint for PCB layout compatibility.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the MBRS series of Schottky barrier rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. It complements other devices in the lineup such as the MBRAD1560H (SMD) and MBRF10150CTHC0 (high voltage). The series emphasizes low power loss and high efficiency, targeting modern power management systems where thermal performance and switching speed are paramount.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source data. Verify compatibility with equivalents like the Fairchild MBR1560 or onsemi MBRB30H60CT-1G only after confirming pinout, voltage, and current ratings match the original design specifications.
