MUR360SB

Single Diodes Overview

The MUR360SB is a high-efficiency fast recovery rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor. It features a single-phase, single-element silicon construction housed in the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package. The device supports a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 600V and an average forward current of 3A. Key electrical characteristics include a typical forward voltage of 1.12V, a maximum non-repetitive peak surge current of 75A, and a very fast reverse recovery time of 50ns. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +175°C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm pinout and electrical tolerances. Ensure the component matches the required DO-214AB footprint and lead finish specifications for your assembly process. Cross-reference the part number with official distributor catalogs to confirm current availability status and compliance certifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring fast switching speeds and low reverse recovery charge. The 600V rating provides sufficient margin for standard industrial power supplies. Consider the 3A continuous current limit and the thermal management requirements of the SMC package for high-power density designs. Verify that the 50ns recovery time aligns with the switching frequency of your target application.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the MUR series of ultrafast recovery rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. These components are engineered for general-purpose high-efficiency applications where speed and reliability are critical. The MUR360SB variant specifically targets surface-mount implementations, offering a compact alternative to through-hole packages while maintaining robust electrical performance standards.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 600V/3A rating, 50ns recovery time, and DO-214AB package. Check equivalent parts from other manufacturers such as Vishay or Diodes Inc. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and verify that any substitute maintains similar thermal and electrical characteristics.
