SBR60A150CT

Diode Arrays Overview

The SBR60A150CT is a Super Barrier Rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, housed in a TO-220AB through-hole package. It features a dual anode common cathode configuration with a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 150 V and an average rectified output current of 60 A per device (30 A per leg). The forward voltage drop is typically 0.86 V at 30 A and +25°C, rising to 0.93 V maximum under the same conditions. Non-repetitive peak forward surge current reaches 250 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine wave. Operating junction temperature ranges from -65°C to +175°C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation before purchase. The standard part number SBR60A150CT comes in a tube of 50 pieces. An optional suffix '-G' indicates a version utilizing a green molding compound. Confirm that the required packaging format matches your assembly line capabilities and that the component meets all applicable environmental compliance standards for your region.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring high current handling up to 60 A with a 150 V blocking capability. The TO-220AB package facilitates effective thermal management via heatsinking, supporting operation at junction temperatures up to +175°C. Ensure the application accounts for the 30 A per leg rating if utilizing both anodes independently, and verify derating requirements for capacitive loads which necessitate a 20% current reduction.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This component belongs to the SBR series of Super Barrier Rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated. It utilizes proprietary SBR technology to achieve performance characteristics superior to traditional Schottky diodes, particularly regarding leakage current stability at elevated temperatures. The series is engineered for robustness in demanding power electronics environments where efficiency and thermal resilience are critical design parameters.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Consult official manufacturer substitution lists for verified alternatives. Generic replacements may not replicate the specific thermal resistance or switching characteristics of the patented SBR technology. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure any substitute component meets the same voltage, current, and thermal ratings.

Diode Arrays FAQ

What is the thermal resistance from junction to case?

The typical thermal resistance from junction to case is 1.2 °C/W.

How does the forward voltage change at high temperatures?

At +125°C junction temperature with 30 A forward current, the typical forward voltage increases to 0.77 V, with a maximum of 0.93 V specified at +25°C.

Is there a current derating requirement for specific loads?

Yes, for capacitance loads, the forward current must be derated by 20%.
