Product details
Overview
MBR1560CT from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 15A dual-die Schottky barrier rectifier in TO-220AB package, rated for 60V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 0.75V typical forward voltage at 7.5A/25°C, and 150A surge current capability - deployed in high-efficiency DC-DC converters and industrial SMPS front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MBR1560CT datasheet, MBR1560CT pinout, MBR1560CT application, or MBR1560CT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60V VRRM rating, 1.5°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, AEC-Q101 qualification option (MBR1560CTH), low 300µA reverse leakage at 25°C, and TO-220AB mechanical compatibility with standard heatsink mounting.
Technical Context
The MBR1560CT integrates two independent Schottky diodes in a single TO-220AB package with common cathode configuration, enabling full-wave rectification without external wiring. Its guard ring structure provides overvoltage protection, and the matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability standards.
Designed for continuous conduction mode operation up to 150°C junction temperature, it delivers stable forward voltage performance across temperature - 0.65V typical at 7.5A/125°C - and supports high dv/dt transients up to 10,000 V/μs without false triggering.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - Maximum reverse blocking voltage per diode; defines safe operating limit in DC-DC flyback or buck converter output stage |
| IF(AV) | 15 A - Average forward current per diode; supports continuous 15A load in thermally managed designs |
| IFSM | 150 A - Non-repetitive surge current (8.3ms half-sine); withstands inrush during power-up in SMPS |
| VF @ 7.5A, 25°C | 0.75 V typ - Low conduction loss per diode; reduces power dissipation vs. silicon rectifiers |
| IR @ 60V, 25°C | 300 µA max - Low reverse leakage enables stable hold-up in low-power standby modes |
| RθJC | 1.5 °C/W - Enables direct heatsink mounting; allows ~10W dissipation before exceeding 150°C junction limit |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Rated maximum junction temperature; supports operation in industrial ambient environments |

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-MBR1560CT | Identical TO-220AB package, same 60V VRRM and 15A IF, but VF = 0.72V typ @ 7.5A/25°C (slightly lower conduction loss) | No AEC-Q101 variant offered; limited automotive qualification support | Select for marginally better efficiency where automotive qualification is not required |
| ON Semiconductor MBR1560CT | Same electrical specs and TO-220AB footprint; datasheet specifies 0.78V max VF @ 15A/25°C (tighter max bound than TSC's typical value) | Broader distribution network; no halogen-free marking in standard version | Select when supply chain redundancy or global logistics priority outweighs halogen-free compliance |
Compared with VS-MBR1560CT and ON Semi MBR1560CT, the Taiwan Semiconductor MBR1560CT offers AEC-Q101 qualification path (via H-suffix), halogen-free construction, and identical thermal performance - making it preferred for automotive auxiliary supplies and regulated industrial designs requiring material compliance.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of the MBR1560CT?
The MBR1560CT uses a TO-220AB package with three terminals: Pin 1 is Anode 1, Pin 2 is the common Cathode, and Pin 3 is Anode 2. This dual-anode/common-cathode arrangement supports full-wave rectification without external interconnects. The device marking and polarity are clearly indicated on the package body per TSC specification I2104.
Is the MBR1560CT suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - the MBR1560CTH variant is AEC-Q101 qualified and tested for automotive use. While the standard MBR1560CT is not certified, its design basis (guard ring, 150°C TJ max, and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance) aligns with automotive reliability requirements. For production automotive systems, specify MBR1560CTH to ensure qualification compliance.
What is the maximum junction temperature for the MBR1560CT?
The MBR1560CT has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official TSC datasheet (Version I2104). This rating applies under steady-state conditions with proper heatsinking and accounts for thermal resistance values RθJC = 1.5°C/W and RθJA = 10°C/W.
How does the forward voltage of the MBR1560CT compare at different temperatures?
At 7.5A, the MBR1560CT exhibits VF = 0.75V typical at 25°C and 0.65V typical at 125°C. This negative temperature coefficient improves thermal stability in parallel configurations and reduces conduction loss at elevated operating temperatures - a key advantage over PN-junction rectifiers.
Does the MBR1560CT have halogen-free construction?
Yes - the MBR1560CT complies with IEC 61249-2-21 for halogen-free materials. Its molding compound contains no brominated or chlorinated flame retardants, satisfying environmental compliance requirements for consumer electronics and industrial equipment sold in EU, Japan, and other regulated markets.
