MURS160-E3/5BT

Single Diodes Overview

The MURS160-E3/5BT is a surface-mount ultrafast plastic rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a glass passivated pellet chip junction and is housed in an SMB (DO-214AA) package. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V and a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.25 V at 1.0 A, a maximum reverse current of 5.0 µA at rated DC blocking voltage, and a typical thermal resistance from junction to lead of 13 °C/W.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Ultrafast reverse recovery time for high efficiency
• Glass passivated pellet chip junction
• High forward surge capability
• Meets MSL level 1 per J-STD-020

Single Diodes Applications

• High frequency rectification in switching mode converters
• Freewheeling applications in inverters
• Consumer electronics power supplies
• Computer equipment power systems
• Telecommunication devices

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix /5BT corresponds to the 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel delivery mode with a base quantity of 3200 units. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance standards as indicated by the E3 designation. Ensure the procurement matches the commercial grade specifications rather than the AEC-Q101 qualified automotive grade variants.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a 600 V reverse voltage rating and 1.0 A continuous forward current in a compact SMB package. Consider the 50 ns reverse recovery time for high-frequency switching applications. Validate thermal management requirements against the 13 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance. Ensure the operating temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C aligns with the system environment.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the MURS140/MURS160 series of surface-mount ultrafast plastic rectifiers. The MURS160 variant specifically offers a 600 V reverse voltage rating, distinguishing it from the 400 V MURS140 model. Both share identical current ratings and package dimensions, allowing for pin-compatible design flexibility based on voltage requirements.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

MURS140-E3/5BT serves as a direct substitute if the application voltage does not exceed 400 V.
