VS-MURB1520TRLPBF

Single Diodes Overview

The VS-MURB1520TRLPBF is an ultrafast recovery rectifier manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors, utilizing FRED Pt® technology. It features a single circuit configuration housed in a D2PAK (TO-263AB) surface-mount package. The device supports a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 200 V and an average rectified forward current of 15 A at a case temperature of 150 °C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.05 V at 15 A, a reverse leakage current of 10 µA, and a typical reverse recovery time of 35 ns. It operates within a junction temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging orientation and quantity. The 'TRL' suffix indicates tape and reel packaging. Ensure compatibility with RoHS directives and lead-free termination requirements as specified in the datasheet. Confirm availability status directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer, as production lifecycles may change.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring fast switching speeds and low reverse recovery charge to minimize switching losses. The D2PAK package provides efficient thermal dissipation suitable for high-current applications. Evaluate the thermal resistance parameters and derating curves to ensure the junction temperature remains within safe operating limits under expected load conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the MURB series of ultrafast recovery rectifiers from Vishay. The series is characterized by planar structure and platinum-doped lifetime control, offering optimized performance in forward voltage drop and recovery time compared to standard rectifiers. It is designed for robust operation in demanding power electronics environments.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes such as VS-MURB1520-M3 or VS-MURB1520-1-M3 based on required packaging (tube vs. reel) and pinout compatibility. Verify that alternative components meet the same 200 V reverse voltage and 15 A current ratings while maintaining similar ultrafast recovery characteristics.
