Product details
Overview
MBR1560CT-Y from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 15A, 60V dual-die Schottky barrier rectifier in TO-220AB package, featuring 0.75V forward voltage at 7.5A/25°C and 7.5mA reverse leakage at 125°C. It delivers high surge current capability (150A IFSM), low power loss, and guard ring overvoltage protection for use in high-efficiency DC–DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the MBR1560CT-Y datasheet, MBR1560CT-Y pinout, MBR1560CT-Y application, or MBR1560CT-Y equivalent, key selection factors include its 60V VRRM rating, dual-common-cathode configuration, TO-220AB thermal performance (RθJC = 1.5°C/W), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial power supply designs.
Technical Context
This dual-die Schottky rectifier integrates two independent 15A diodes sharing a common cathode terminal, enabling synchronous or parallel rectification in center-tapped or dual-output topologies. Its 60V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) and 10,000 V/μs dv/dt rating support fast-switching operation in high-frequency SMPS.
The device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range with 1.5°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, allowing direct heatsink mounting via the metal tab. Guard ring structure enhances ruggedness against transient overvoltage events without external snubbers.
Key Specifications

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 | Same 15A/60V rating, but VF = 0.72V @ 7.5A/25°C; RθJC = 1.6°C/W; no halogen-free marking | Identical TO-220AB footprint and pinout; slightly lower VF improves margin in ultra-high-efficiency designs | Select when prioritizing minimal conduction loss over halogen-free compliance |
| ON Semiconductor MBR1560CT | Same electrical specs, but uses legacy marking "MBR1560CT" (no -Y suffix); RoHS compliant but not explicitly halogen-free certified | Drop-in replacement in existing layouts; lacks IEC 61249-2-21 verification for halogen content | Select for cost-sensitive volume production where halogen-free certification is not mandated |
Compared with MBR1560CT-Y, VS-MBR1560CT offers marginally lower forward voltage but omits halogen-free validation, while ON's MBR1560CT provides identical performance without formal halogen-free documentation-making the -Y variant optimal for regulated industrial exports requiring full material declarations.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for MBR1560CT-Y?
The MBR1560CT-Y has a maximum junction temperature (TJ MAX) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table. This allows operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed server PSUs or industrial motor drives. Derating curves confirm usable current capacity down to 10A at 125°C case temperature. Thermal design must respect RθJC = 1.5°C/W to avoid exceeding TJ MAX under full load.
Does MBR1560CT-Y support common-cathode dual-diode configuration?
Yes, MBR1560CT-Y implements a true common-cathode dual-diode configuration in TO-220AB package: Pins 1 and 2 are independent anodes, and Pin 3 (metal tab) is the shared cathode. This is confirmed in the marking diagram and mechanical outline. The configuration enables dual-output rectification without external wiring, reducing parasitic inductance and layout complexity in multi-rail power supplies.
What is the forward voltage specification for MBR1560CT-Y at elevated temperature?
At 7.5A and 125°C junction temperature, the MBR1560CT-Y exhibits a typical forward voltage (VF) of 0.65V, per Electrical Specifications table. This value is 0.10V lower than its 25°C VF (0.75V), reflecting the negative temperature coefficient of Schottky diodes. Designers can leverage this behavior to maintain efficiency stability across wide thermal ranges without active compensation.
Is MBR1560CT-Y halogen-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, MBR1560CT-Y is both RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as explicitly stated in the FEATURES section. The "-Y" suffix denotes halogen-free molding compound. This certification applies to the entire device-including die attach, encapsulant, and lead finish-making it suitable for export to EU, Japan, and other regulated markets requiring full material declarations.
What is the surge current rating for MBR1560CT-Y and how is it tested?
The MBR1560CT-Y is rated for 150A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) under 8.3ms single half-sine wave conditions, per Absolute Maximum Ratings. This test simulates worst-case inrush into bulk capacitors during cold start. The rating is validated with pulse width and duty cycle defined in Note 1 (tp = 2.0μs, 1.0KHz), ensuring reliability across repeated power cycles in commercial and industrial applications.
