Product details
Overview
MBR1660 C0G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 16A, 60V Schottky barrier rectifier in TO-220AC package, featuring low forward voltage (0.75 V at 16 A, 25°C), high surge current capability (150 A), and AEC-Q101 qualification option. It serves as primary output rectifier in high-efficiency DC/DC converters and industrial SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the MBR1660 C0G datasheet, MBR1660 C0G pinout, MBR1660 C0G application, or MBR1660 C0G equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal resistance (3°C/W), reverse leakage (500 µA @ 25°C), junction temperature range (–55°C to +150°C), and mechanical mounting details for reliable power stage design.
Technical Context
This single-die Schottky rectifier operates with unidirectional conduction and no minority-carrier storage delay. Its guard ring structure provides overvoltage protection, while the matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements.
The device exhibits 10,000 V/µs dV/dt rating and 32 A peak repetitive forward current under square-wave 20 kHz conditions. Thermal performance is defined by a 3°C/W junction-to-case resistance, enabling direct heatsink mounting without thermal interface material in many applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; sets upper limit for output capacitor and snubber design in buck or flyback topologies |
| IF | 16 A - Continuous average forward current; defines minimum heatsink sizing at ambient ≤50°C with natural convection |
| VF @ 16A, 25°C | 0.75 V - Forward voltage drop directly determines conduction loss (12 W at full load) and thermal rise in high-current paths |
| IFSM | 150 A - Non-repetitive surge rating; supports inrush current handling during cold-start of 48 V input DC/DC modules |
| RθJC | 3°C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables direct bolt-down to aluminum heatsink with ≤45°C temperature rise at 16 A |
| IR @ 60V, 25°C | 500 µA - Reverse leakage current; low enough to avoid significant standby loss in offline adapters with >100 kΩ bleeder networks |
| TJ Range | –55°C to +150°C - Operating junction temperature range; supports under-hood automotive environments when derated per Fig.1 |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220AC - Three-terminal, single-ended through-hole package with isolated metal tab (cathode-connected), UL 94V-0 molding compound, and 0.56 N·m maximum mounting torque specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input current terminal | Connected to switching node (e.g., MOSFET drain in synchronous rectification); requires low-inductance PCB trace routing |
| Cathode | Output current terminal | Internally bonded to metal tab; electrically common with heatsink mount surface - must be isolated unless system ground reference permits |
| Tab (Case) | Thermal & electrical cathode path | Primary heat dissipation path; electrically tied to cathode - isolation washer required if heatsink is not at cathode potential |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring structure | Enables robust transient overvoltage tolerance beyond rated VRRM, reducing need for external TVS clamping in 24–48 V industrial supplies |
| AEC-Q101 qualified version available | Validated for automotive powertrain and body electronics per stress test requirements - critical for EV auxiliary DC/DC modules |
| Halogen-free & RoHS compliant | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU - required for export to EU, Japan, and South Korea markets |
| High dV/dt immunity (10,000 V/µs) | Prevents false turn-on during fast-switching events in SiC/GaN-based converters, eliminating need for gate resistors or snubbers on adjacent FETs |
| Junction-to-case thermal resistance | 3°C/W allows compact thermal design - achieves <85°C case temperature at 16 A with 50°C ambient and 100 cm² aluminum heatsink |
Applications
| Industrial SMPS | Automotive DC/DC Converters |

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-MBR1660CT | TO-220AB package (isolated tab), slightly higher VF (0.77 V typ), same 60 V VRRM and 16 A IF | Requires insulating pad even when cathode is grounded; better suited for floating-output designs | Select when electrical isolation between tab and cathode is mandatory - e.g., multi-rail supplies sharing one heatsink |
| ON Semiconductor MBR1660CT | TO-220AC package, identical pinout and thermal spec, but VF = 0.78 V (max) at 16 A, 25°C | No AEC-Q101 option; RoHS-compliant but halogen-free status not explicitly stated | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs minor VF penalty and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
Compared with MBR1660 C0G, VS-MBR1660CT offers tab isolation at the cost of marginally higher conduction loss, while MBR1660CT trades AEC-Q101 validation and halogen-free compliance for lower unit price - both require layout verification due to differing thermal pad grounding schemes.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for MBR1660 C0G?
The MBR1660 C0G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ MAX) of +150°C, validated per absolute maximum ratings table. This allows operation in high-ambient environments such as under-hood automotive locations or enclosed industrial enclosures, provided thermal design maintains actual TJ below this limit using the specified RθJC of 3°C/W and appropriate heatsinking.
Is MBR1660 C0G pin-compatible with other TO-220AC Schottky rectifiers?
Yes, MBR1660 C0G uses standard TO-220AC mechanical dimensions and pinout (anode–cathode–tab), matching industry-standard footprints. However, electrical characteristics like VF, IR, and IFSM differ across vendors - always verify thermal and electrical margins in final layout before substitution. The tab is electrically connected to cathode, not isolated.
Does MBR1660 C0G have AEC-Q101 qualification?
The base MBR1660 C0G is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, Taiwan Semiconductor offers an AEC-Q101-qualified version designated MBR1660H C0G. That variant undergoes full stress testing per AEC-Q101 Rev D and is marked with "H" suffix - confirm ordering code and packaging label before use in automotive applications.
What is the forward voltage of MBR1660 C0G at 125°C junction temperature?
At IF = 16 A and TJ = 125°C, the forward voltage (VF) of MBR1660 C0G is 0.65 V maximum, per Electrical Specifications table. This lower VF at elevated temperature reflects the negative temperature coefficient of Schottky diodes and improves thermal stability in high-power density designs.
How is polarity marked on the MBR1660 C0G package?
Polarity on the MBR1660 C0G is indicated by a cathode band printed on the device body near the cathode lead, consistent with TO-220AC industry convention. The metal tab is electrically connected to the cathode, and the marking diagram in the datasheet confirms cathode alignment with the banded end - correct orientation is critical to prevent reverse-bias failure.
