Product details
Overview
MBR1560CT from Diodes Incorporated is a 15A dual common-cathode Schottky barrier rectifier in TO220AB package, rated for 60V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 0.90V max forward voltage at 15A/25°C, and 1.0mA max reverse leakage at 25°C. It serves as a low-loss freewheeling or polarity protection diode in DC-DC converters and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MBR1560CT datasheet, MBR1560CT pinout, MBR1560CT application, or MBR1560CT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60V VRRM rating, 15A average output current capability, TO220AB thermal resistance (1.7°C/W), dual common-cathode configuration, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This dual-diode Schottky rectifier integrates two independent anode terminals sharing one cathode, enabling synchronous rectification or dual-path DC output management. Its guard ring die construction enhances transient immunity, while low VF and high IFSM (150A) support high-efficiency, high-surge industrial switching.
Designed for operation up to +150°C junction temperature, it delivers stable performance under continuous 15A load at TC = +125°C with derating per Fig. 1. Typical capacitance is 300pF at 1MHz/4V, supporting high-frequency flyback and SMPS applications without excessive ringing.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-15BQ060PBF | Same 60V VRRM, 15A IO, but TO-220AC package (single-anode); RθJC = 2.0°C/W | Lacks dual-anode flexibility; requires two devices for dual-path use | Select when single-diode topology suffices and lower-cost sourcing is prioritized |
| ON Semiconductor MBR1560CT | Identical specs and TO220AB package; same pinout and thermal performance | No functional difference; direct second-source alternative | Choose for supply chain diversification without redesign or requalification |
Compared with VS-15BQ060PBF, MBR1560CT offers integrated dual-anode functionality and superior thermal resistance (1.7 vs. 2.0°C/W), while matching ON Semiconductor's MBR1560CT enables seamless dual-sourcing without layout or thermal changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The MBR1560CT supports continuous operation up to +150°C junction temperature. Derating begins at TC = +125°C per Fig. 1, where IO remains 15A only if case temperature is maintained at or below +125°C using appropriate heatsinking and airflow.
Is the metal tab electrically connected, and to which terminal?
Yes, the metal tab is electrically connected to Pin 2 (the common cathode). This provides both thermal conduction to the heatsink and a low-inductance cathode return path, critical for minimizing voltage overshoot in high-dI/dt applications like motor drives.
Does MBR1560CT require a minimum load or snubber circuit?
No minimum load is required. A snubber is not mandatory due to the device's low junction capacitance (300pF) and inherent soft recovery, but may be added in high-dV/dt environments (>500V/μs) to suppress ringing caused by parasitic inductance in long PCB traces.
How does the guard ring structure improve reliability?
The guard ring die construction surrounds the active junction with a doped region that redistributes electric field stress during voltage transients, raising the effective breakdown threshold and preventing premature edge breakdown-key for surviving ISO 7637-2 load-dump pulses in automotive applications.
