Product details
Overview
MBR2560CT-Y from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 25A, 60V dual-die Schottky barrier rectifier in TO-220AB package, featuring 0.75V forward voltage at 12.5A/25°C and 10mA reverse leakage at 125°C, used in high-efficiency DC-DC converters and switching power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MBR2560CT-Y datasheet, MBR2560CT-Y pinout, MBR2560CT-Y application, or MBR2560CT-Y equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (60V), surge current capability (200A), thermal resistance (1°C/W), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial power conversion designs.
Technical Context
This dual-die Schottky rectifier integrates two independent anode-cathode junctions in a single TO-220AB case with common cathode configuration. Its low VF and fast recovery enable high-efficiency operation in continuous conduction mode SMPS topologies.
The device supports 25A average forward current with 200A non-repetitive surge rating and operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range. Guard ring structure provides overvoltage protection without external snubbers.
Key Specifications

| RθJC | 1 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to case; enables direct mounting to chassis or heatsink without thermal interface pads |
| IFSM | 200 A - Peak surge rating for cold-start inrush handling in offline adapters |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Extended junction temperature allows operation in sealed enclosures without forced air |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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-25CPH06 | Same 60V VRRM, 25A IF, TO-247 package; RθJC = 0.8°C/W but larger footprint and higher cost | Preferred where lower thermal resistance justifies board space and BOM cost increase | Select when junction temperature must stay below 130°C under full load without forced airflow |
| ON Semiconductor MBR2560CT | Identical electrical specs and TO-220AB package; lacks "-Y" suffix indicating halogen-free compliance per IEC 61249-2-21 | Acceptable for non-regulated industrial equipment where halogen-free is not mandated | Choose when RoHS-only compliance suffices and supply chain lead times favor ON Semi stock |
Compared with VS-25CPH06 and MBR2560CT, the MBR2560CT-Y delivers identical 60V/25A performance in TO-220AB with guaranteed halogen-free construction-critical for EU medical and telecom deployments-while maintaining compatibility with existing MBR2560CT layouts.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for MBR2560CT-Y?
The MBR2560CT-Y has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet revision B2104. This rating allows reliable operation in sealed or high-ambient environments such as enclosed power supplies and industrial control cabinets where airflow is limited. The MBR2560CT-Y maintains specified electrical parameters up to this limit when thermal design respects RθJC = 1°C/W.
Does MBR2560CT-Y have a common-cathode or common-anode configuration?
The MBR2560CT-Y uses a common-cathode dual-die configuration: Pin 2 (center tab) is the shared cathode, while Pins 1 and 3 are independent anodes. This layout is confirmed in the mechanical outline and marking diagram of the official datasheet. The common-cathode structure simplifies PCB routing in dual-output or interleaved converter designs where both diodes feed into the same output rail.
What is the forward voltage specification for MBR2560CT-Y at full rated current?
Per the Electrical Specifications table in the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet, the MBR2560CT-Y has a typical forward voltage of 0.75V at IF = 12.5A and TJ = 25°C. At full 25A average current and 25°C, the datasheet does not list a guaranteed value-but curve Fig.4 shows VF ≈ 0.82V under those conditions. For thermal design, use 0.75V at 12.5A or interpolate using the published forward characteristics.
Is MBR2560CT-Y halogen-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, the MBR2560CT-Y is explicitly certified halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21 and RoHS compliant, as stated in the FEATURES section of the official datasheet. The "-Y" suffix denotes halogen-free molding compound, distinguishing it from the non-suffixed MBR2560CT. This makes the MBR2560CT-Y suitable for medical, telecom, and EU-market products requiring strict material declarations.
What is the surge current rating for MBR2560CT-Y and how is it tested?
The MBR2560CT-Y has a non-repetitive peak forward surge current (IFSM) rating of 200A, tested per JEDEC standards using an 8.3ms single half-sine wave superimposed on rated DC load. This rating is validated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and supported by Fig.5 (Maximum Non-Repetitive Forward Surge Current). It ensures robustness against inrush currents during power-up in AC-DC adapters and motor drive auxiliary supplies.
