Vishay Intros New MBR60100CT Schottky Rectifier

July 22, 2004 by Jeff Shepard

Vishay Intertechnology Inc. (Malvern, PA) introduced its new MBR60100CT, a dual high-voltage, high-current Schottky rectifier that combines 100 V reverse voltage and 60 A forward-current capabilities in the TO-220AB package. The MBR60100CT is intended for secondary rectification of ac-dc and dc-dc converters and for free-wheeling and polarity protection in power supplies for desktop and notebook PCs, servers, telecommunications exchanges, HDTV equipment, and other systems incorporating high-power, switch-mode power supplies.

The MBR60100CT offers a 60 A forward-current capability, a 100 V reverse voltage, a low typical forward voltage of 0.64 V, low maximum reverse leakage current of 20 mA, a typical leakage current of 8.5 mA, a high forward-surge current of 350 A, a large peak non-repetitive reverse surge energy per leg of 25 mJ (8/20 µs), a high avalanche energy capability of 20 mJ per leg (minimum at 40 mH), a high-voltage rate of change of 10,000 V/µs, and a maximum operating junction temperature of 175 °C.

Samples and production quantities of the MBR60100CT rectifier are available now with lead times of six weeks for larger orders. Pricing for US delivery in 10,000-piece quantities is $1 per unit.
