SB1640CT_T0_00001

Overview

The SB1640CT_T0_00001 is a Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Panjit International Inc. It belongs to the SB1620CT series, which covers voltage ratings from 20V to 60V and a current rating of 16 Amperes. This specific model features a maximum recurrent peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 40V and a maximum DC blocking voltage of 40V. The device has a maximum average forward current (IF(AV)) of 16A at a case temperature of 75°C. Its typical thermal resistance (RθJC) is 2°C/W. The maximum forward voltage (VF) is 0.75V at 8A per leg. The operating junction temperature range extends from -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes an isolation Schottky barrier structure for low power loss and high efficiency.
• Constructed with flame retardant epoxy molding compound achieving UL 94V-O flammability classification.
• Features high surge capacity and low forward voltage characteristics.
• Compliant with EU RoHS 2011/65/EU directives and IEC61249 standards for halogen-free green molding.

Applications

• Low voltage, high frequency inverters
• Free wheeling applications
• Polarity protection circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the component against the official Panjit datasheet for the SB1620CT series to confirm electrical parameters match the 40V rating. Ensure the TO-220AB package type aligns with your mechanical design requirements. Confirm that the application does not involve life-saving or high-reliability equipment, as these products are not authorized for such uses. Check for lot number tracking capabilities when sourcing.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a 16A current rating with a 40V reverse voltage capability. Consider the 0.75V forward voltage drop at 8A per leg for thermal management calculations. The 2°C/W thermal resistance indicates suitability for heat sink mounting in high-power environments. Verify that the operating junction temperature range up to 150°C meets the environmental conditions of the target application.

Part Context

This part is part of the SB1620CT series produced by Panjit International Inc., covering voltage ratings from 20V to 60V. The series includes variants like SB1620CT, SB1630CT, SB1640CT, SB1645CT, SB1650CT, and SB1660CT. All share a common 16A current rating and TO-220AB plastic package form factor, differing primarily in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage specifications.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include SB1620CT, SB1630CT, SB1645CT, SB1650CT, and SB1660CT, provided the voltage rating meets or exceeds the circuit requirement. Other manufacturers producing 16A, 40V Schottky rectifiers in TO-220AB packages may also serve as alternatives if electrical characteristics are verified.
