MBRB1560CT-E3/45 datasheet by Vishay Semiconductors

MBRB1560CT-E3/45 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended soldering temperature for MBRB1560CT-E3/45?
  The recommended soldering temperature for MBRB1560CT-E3/45 is between 250°C to 260°C for a maximum of 10 seconds.
• Can I use the MBRB1560CT-E3/45 in a high-frequency switching application?
  While the MBRB1560CT-E3/45 is a fast-recovery diode, it's not recommended for high-frequency switching applications above 100 kHz due to its relatively high reverse recovery time (trr) of 35 ns.
• How do I handle ESD protection when handling MBRB1560CT-E3/45 devices?
  To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, handle MBRB1560CT-E3/45 devices with ESD-protective equipment, such as wrist straps, mats, and bags. Ensure the relative humidity is above 50% and the temperature is between 20°C to 25°C.
• What is the maximum allowable voltage derating for the MBRB1560CT-E3/45?
  The maximum allowable voltage derating for the MBRB1560CT-E3/45 is 80% of the rated voltage (1600 V) at high temperatures (above 150°C). Consult the datasheet for detailed derating curves.
• Can I use the MBRB1560CT-E3/45 in a parallel configuration to increase current handling?
  Yes, you can use multiple MBRB1560CT-E3/45 devices in parallel to increase current handling. However, ensure that the devices are matched for forward voltage drop (Vf) and that the current sharing is balanced to prevent overheating and reduce reliability.
