MBRT50060

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBRT50060 is a silicon power Schottky diode module manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor. It features a Three Tower package with an electrically isolated base plate and screw mount installation style. The device supports a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60 V, an RMS reverse voltage of 42 V, and a DC blocking voltage of 60 V. It provides an average forward current of 500 A per package. The maximum instantaneous forward voltage is 0.78 V at Tj = 25 °C. The junction-to-case thermal resistance is 0.30 °C/W per leg. Operating and storage temperatures range from -55 °C to +150 °C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation (R or non-R) against the datasheet terminal configuration requirements before procurement. Confirm that the 60 V rating aligns with the system's peak reverse voltage demands. Ensure the thermal management solution accommodates the 0.30 °C/W junction-to-case resistance. Check for availability status as manufacturing transitions may affect supply continuity.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a 500 A continuous current capacity and 60 V blocking voltage are required in a high-power density application. The Three Tower package facilitates direct heatsink mounting via screws. Consider the 0.78 V forward voltage drop for efficiency calculations at rated current. Verify compatibility with the intended switching frequency and thermal environment constraints.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This module belongs to the MBRT500 series of silicon power Schottky diodes from GeneSiC Semiconductor. The series includes variants with reverse voltages ranging from 45 V to 100 V. All models share the same 500 A current rating and Three Tower package form factor. The 'R' suffix indicates reversed leads compared to standard versions.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include MBRT50045(R) and MBRT50080(R). These parts share identical current ratings and package dimensions but differ in reverse voltage specifications. Ensure the substitute voltage rating meets or exceeds the circuit requirements.
