Product details
Overview
MBR16150 C0G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 16A, 150V Schottky barrier rectifier in TO-220AC package, featuring 0.95V forward voltage at 16A/25°C, 5µA reverse leakage at 150V/125°C, and 150A surge current capability. It serves as primary output rectifier in high-efficiency DC-DC converters for industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MBR16150 C0G datasheet, MBR16150 C0G pinout, MBR16150 C0G application, or MBR16150 C0G equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM=150V, IF=16A, TJMAX=150°C, RθJC=3°C/W, and AEC-Q101 qualification status - all critical for thermal design and automotive-grade reliability validation.
Technical Context
The MBR16150 C0G uses a single-die Schottky structure with guard ring overvoltage protection, enabling stable operation under repetitive surge conditions (IFSM=150A, 8.3ms half-sine). Its low dV/dt rating of 10,000 V/µs supports fast-switching topologies without parasitic turn-on.
Thermally, it delivers RθJC=3°C/W into the heatsink via its TO-220AC case, supporting continuous 16A conduction up to 125°C ambient when properly mounted (0.56 N·m torque). Reverse leakage remains tightly controlled at 100µA @ 150V/25°C and 5mA @ 150V/125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 150 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche; sets upper limit for output rail voltage in flyback or forward converters |
| IF | 16 A - Continuous average forward current; defines minimum heatsink sizing for 24/7 operation |
| VF @ 16A, 25°C | 0.95 V - Forward drop directly impacts conduction loss (Pcond ≈ 15.2W) and thermal rise |
| IFSM | 150 A - Non-repetitive surge rating; enables survival during cold-start inrush or short-circuit events |
| RθJC | 3 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; determines temperature rise above heatsink (ΔT = Ptot × 3) |
| IR @ 150V, 125°C | 5 mA - High-temperature reverse leakage; critical for standby power budget in always-on systems |
| TJMAX | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; sets safe operating area boundary for derating curves |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AC package with 3-terminal configuration: Anode (Tab), Cathode (Pin 1), and Case (electrically connected to Anode). Mounting tab serves as both thermal path and high-current anode connection; polarity marked on device body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Tab (Metal Surface) | Anode | Primary high-current input node; electrically and thermally coupled to heatsink; requires insulating washer if isolated mounting |
| Pin 1 | Cathode | Output node for rectified DC; carries full load current; PCB trace must support ≥16A continuous |
| Case | Anode (internally tied) | Not isolated - mechanical mounting directly ties to anode potential; safety clearance must account for this |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring overvoltage protection | Prevents edge breakdown at 150V reverse bias, improving long-term reliability in transient-prone SMPS outputs |
| AEC-Q101 qualified option (MBR16150H) | Validated for automotive under-hood environments including temperature cycling, vibration, and humidity testing |
| Halogen-free molding compound | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21; eliminates corrosive halogen emissions during reflow or field failure |
| Matte tin-plated leads | Ensures solderability per J-STD-002; prevents intermetallic degradation during multiple reflow cycles |
| JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance | Guarantees no tin whisker growth under thermal stress, eliminating latent short-circuit risk in sealed enclosures |

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-MBR16150CT | TO-220AB package (dual common-cathode); higher VF (1.05V @ 16A/25°C); same VRRM/IF | Requires dual-output or parallel-cathode layout; not single-diode drop-in | Select only if dual-cathode topology is used; verify thermal interface compatibility with TO-220AB footprint |
| ON Semiconductor MBR16150CT | TO-220AC package; identical pinout; VF = 0.97V @ 16A/25°C; no AEC-Q101 option | Direct physical replacement but lacks automotive qualification path | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial designs where AEC-Q101 is not required; same thermal and electrical behavior |
Compared with MBR16150 C0G, VS-MBR16150CT offers dual-diode integration but demands PCB redesign, while MBR16150CT matches footprint and performance but omits automotive qualification - making MBR16150 C0G the sole choice when AEC-Q101 compliance and single-diode simplicity are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the MBR16150 C0G?
The MBR16150 C0G has a maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) of +150°C. This rating allows sustained operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed power supplies or under-hood automotive locations when paired with appropriate heatsinking. Derating curves in the official datasheet define allowable current versus case temperature, ensuring safe operation below this thermal limit. The MBR16150 C0G must not exceed this temperature during any operational condition.
Does the MBR16150 C0G have AEC-Q101 qualification?
The base MBR16150 C0G is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the variant MBR16150H - identical in electrical and thermal specs - is fully AEC-Q101 qualified. The 'H' suffix denotes automotive-grade screening including temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and humidity testing. For automotive applications requiring qualification, specify MBR16150H; the MBR16150 C0G remains suitable for industrial and computing use cases where AEC-Q101 is not mandated.
What is the forward voltage of the MBR16150 C0G at elevated temperature?
At 16A and 125°C junction temperature, the MBR16150 C0G exhibits a typical forward voltage (VF) of 0.92V. This represents a slight reduction from its 0.95V value at 25°C, consistent with the negative temperature coefficient of Schottky diodes. Designers must use this 0.92V figure for worst-case conduction loss calculations in high-temperature environments, as it directly impacts thermal modeling and efficiency predictions for the MBR16150 C0G.
How does the MBR16150 C0G compare to silicon fast recovery diodes in efficiency-critical designs?
The MBR16150 C0G achieves significantly lower conduction loss than silicon fast recovery diodes due to its Schottky architecture - e.g., 0.95V VF vs. ~1.8V for comparable Si FRDs at 16A. It also eliminates reverse recovery charge (Qrr ≈ 0), removing switching losses and EMI associated with tail current. In a 200kHz DC-DC converter, this translates to measurable efficiency gains (1–2%) and cooler operation, making the MBR16150 C0G preferable where thermal headroom or efficiency targets are tight.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for the MBR16150 C0G at rated voltage and temperature?
At rated reverse voltage (VRRM = 150V) and junction temperature of 125°C, the MBR16150 C0G specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 5mA. At 25°C and 150V, leakage is limited to 100µA. These values are critical for standby power budgets and thermal runaway analysis - especially in parallel configurations or high-temperature enclosures - and are verified per the manufacturer's test conditions (30ms pulse width).
