Product details
Overview
MBR760 from Diodes Incorporated is a 60 V, 7.5 A Schottky barrier rectifier in TO220AC package, featuring low forward voltage drop (0.75 V @ 7.5 A, 125°C), high surge capability (150 A, 8.3 ms), and guard ring die construction for transient protection. It serves as a primary output rectifier in low-voltage DC-DC converters and polarity protection switch in automotive power modules.
For engineers reviewing the MBR760 datasheet, MBR760 pinout, MBR760 application, or MBR760 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60 V reverse blocking rating, thermal resistance of 3.5 °C/W (junction-to-case), RMS reverse voltage of 42 V, typical junction capacitance of 400 pF at 4 V, and RoHS-compliant tin-plated terminals.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses platinum-silicide or similar barrier metallization to achieve majority-carrier conduction, eliminating minority-carrier storage delay and enabling operation up to several MHz in switching power supplies. Its guard ring structure suppresses edge breakdown under transient overvoltage conditions.
The device is rated for continuous average forward current of 7.5 A at case temperature ≤125°C, with derating required above that temperature. Reverse leakage remains below 0.5 mA at 25°C and 50 mA at 125°C under full-rated DC blocking voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - Peak repetitive reverse voltage; defines maximum transient-repetitive blocking capability in AC line or flyback applications. |
| IO @ TC=125°C | 7.5 A - Continuous average forward current at heatsink-mounted case temperature; sets minimum heatsink requirement. |
| VFM @ 7.5A, 125°C | 0.75 V - Forward voltage at rated current and elevated temperature; determines conduction loss in high-temp environments. |
| IFSM (8.3 ms) | 150 A - Non-repetitive surge current rating; supports inrush tolerance during power-up or fault recovery. |
| RθJC | 3.5 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables direct calculation of junction temperature rise above heatsink. |
| CT @ 1 MHz, 4 V | 400 pF - Typical junction capacitance; impacts high-frequency switching losses and EMI filter design. |
| IRM @ 125°C | 50 mA - Peak reverse leakage at max operating temperature; affects standby power and thermal runaway risk. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO220AC - Molded plastic case with UL 94V-0 flammability rating, 2.3 g mass, tin-plated copper leads solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Input terminal for forward conduction path | Connected to input-side rail (e.g., transformer secondary or battery positive); must handle full load current and surge. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Output terminal for forward conduction path | Connected to output capacitor or load; polarity-sensitive-reversal causes catastrophic failure. |
| Cathode (Pin 3) | Second cathode connection | Internally tied to Pin 2; used for mechanical stability and enhanced current sharing in high-current PCB layouts. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring die construction | Prevents premature edge breakdown under dv/dt stress >10,000 V/µs, improving reliability in fast-switching SMPS. |
| Low forward voltage (0.75 V @ 7.5A, 125°C) | Reduces conduction loss by ~30% vs. comparable Si PN rectifiers, directly improving efficiency in 5–12 V output rails. |
| High surge rating (150 A, 8.3 ms) | Withstands repeated cold-start surges in automotive infotainment and ADAS power supplies without degradation. |
| TO220AC package with metal tab | Enables direct mounting to heatsink via insulated screw; thermal path optimized for RθJC = 3.5 °C/W. |
| RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU; tin plating ensures compatibility with standard reflow and wave solder processes. |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Rectification | Automotive Polarity Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Primary synchronous or asynchronous rectifier in 5–12 V isolated DC-DC converters for telecom and industrial power supplies. IC Role / Device Role: Unidirectional current valve converting transformer AC output to regulated DC, minimizing conduction loss. Use Value: 0.75 V forward drop at 125°C reduces power dissipation by 5.6 W vs. Si diode alternative, easing thermal design. |
Use Scenario: Reverse-polarity protection circuit at battery input of vehicle ECUs and body control modules. IC Role / Device Role: Low-loss series-blocking element that conducts only when battery is correctly connected. Use Value: 7.5 A continuous rating supports peak loads up to 90 W; 150 A surge withstand prevents fuse blow during jump-start events. |
| Free-Wheeling Diode in Motor Drives | Low-Voltage Inverter Output Stage |
Use Scenario: Freewheel path for brushed DC motor current during PWM off-time in HVAC blower and seat actuator drivers. IC Role / Device Role: Provides low-impedance return path for inductive kickback, limiting voltage spikes across MOSFETs. Use Value: Guard ring structure sustains 10,000 V/µs dv/dt, preventing false turn-on and gate oxide stress in 24 V systems. |
Use Scenario: Output rectification stage in 24–48 V solar microinverters and UPS inverters operating at 20–100 kHz. IC Role / Device Role: High-frequency unidirectional switch converting high-frequency AC to DC bus with minimal switching loss. Use Value: 400 pF junction capacitance limits displacement current and EMI generation at 100 kHz switching frequency. |
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-75SQ060 | Same 60 V VRRM, 7.5 A IO, but lower VFM (0.62 V @ 7.5 A, 25°C); higher IRM (100 mA @ 125°C). | Better efficiency at room temperature; less suitable for high-temperature, low-leakage designs. | Select when ambient temperature stays below 85°C and lowest conduction loss is critical. |
| ON Semiconductor SB760 | Identical VRRM and IO ratings; slightly higher RθJC (4.0 °C/W); same TO220AC package and pinout. | Requires larger heatsink for equivalent thermal performance; otherwise drop-in compatible. | Choose when supply chain diversification is needed and thermal margin allows +0.5 °C/W penalty. |
Compared with VS-75SQ060 and SB760, the MBR760 offers balanced trade-offs: moderate forward voltage with superior high-temperature leakage control and proven guard ring robustness for automotive transients.

FAQ
Is MBR760 pin-compatible with MBR730 or MBR740?
Yes - all MBR7xx devices share identical TO220AC package outline, pin configuration (Anode–Cathode–Cathode), and mechanical footprint. The only differences are electrical: VRRM (30 V, 40 V, 50 V, 60 V) and corresponding forward voltage and leakage characteristics. No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading within the series.
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous 7.5 A operation?
The datasheet specifies 7.5 A average forward current is rated at TC = +125°C. Operation above this temperature requires linear derating per Figure 1: at 135°C case temperature, maximum current drops to approximately 6.5 A. Thermal design must ensure heatsink interface maintains TC ≤125°C under worst-case ambient and airflow conditions.
Can MBR760 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - MBR760 is exclusively offered in through-hole TO220AC package with three leads and metal tab for heatsink mounting. It has no surface-mount variant. For SMT alternatives, consider Diodes' APx60 series (e.g., AP760W) in PowerDI5 packages, which offer comparable 60 V/7 A ratings but different thermal and layout constraints.
Does MBR760 require a snubber circuit in high-dv/dt applications?
Not typically - its guard ring die construction and rated dv/dt of 10,000 V/µs provide inherent immunity to rapid voltage transients common in hard-switched converters. Snubbers remain optional for EMI suppression or ringing damping, but are not required for device reliability under specified operating conditions.
