MBR60150PTE3/TU

MBR60150PTE3/TU is a single-phase, fast-recovery, low-forward voltage drop rectifier from ON Semiconductor. It can be used for many applications that require a rectifier with a low voltage drop and fast recovery time, such as automotive, telecom, home appliances, and industrial control systems. It has a typical forward voltage drop of doubly 0.9 volts at full rated current. Its capability for fast recovery is also its advantage compared to other rectifiers. It can handle forward surge currents of 30 A for half-sine waves with a recovery time of 150 ns.

When used in an application, it is typically connected in a bridge formation. It behooves to note that the MBR60150PTE3/TU has leads slightly separated on one side than the other to provide a polarity. Its pins are color coded with the cathodes being painted green and the anodes blue for easy identification. The bridge rectifier is a form of diode array comprising four components. The direction of current is determined by the external connections, which are a combination of the rectifiers.

Each diode of a bridge rectifier is characterized by its forward voltage drop, conduction losses, junction temperature, repetitive peak reverse current, stored charge, and reverse leakage current, among others. The forward voltage drop of the MBR60150PTE3/TU is typically 0.9 V at full rated current, while the conduction losses are typically 1.05A at 150 kHz. Its junction temperature can reach a maximum of 125°C, while the repetitive peak reverse current is rated at 2.2A. The stored charge of the device is 16.6 pC, whereas its reverse leakage current is rated at 5.0uA at 25°C.

When used as a fast-recovery rectifier, the MBR60150PTE3/TU can be used to convert relatively low input AC voltages into a higher DC voltage. It does this by allowing an alternating current to flow through it in one direction, thus converting it into a much more useful DC voltage. It can also be used for applications that require high surge current capability and fast switching times. In automotive applications, it can act as an energy-saving device, limiting the voltage drop while maintaining high efficiency and fast recovery time.

In summary, the MBR60150PTE3/TU is a single-phase, fast-recovery, low-forward voltage drop rectifier. It is characterized by its forward voltage drop of 0.9V at full rated current and a fast recovery time of 150ns. It can be used to convert AC to a higher DC voltage or in applications that require high surge currents. It is suitable for automotive, telecom, home appliances, and industrial control systems applications. With its appropriate external connections, it provides an efficient and reliable conversion of AC to DC.
