New Products Sep 17, 2003 by Jeff Shepard

Vishay Intertechnology Inc. (Malvern, PA) announced its new MBR Series of 150V, H-type, high-barrier-height, dual Schottky rectifiers, which offer a low forward-voltage drop and leakage current under high-temperature operating conditions. The MBR Series are intended for use in high-frequency inverters, freewheeling switch-mode power supplies, and polarity protection applications in power supplies and adapters.

The MBR Series provide an average forward rectified current of 10A in the TO-220 package outline; a typical forward voltage drop as low as 0.65V; a typical leakage current as low as 0.15mA at 125°C; a high maximum operating junction temperature of 175°C; a reverse surge capability of 25kV ESD; inductive reverse avalanche energy ratings up to 20mJ; and forward voltage options of 10A, 20A and 30A for devices in TO-220, ITO-220 and TO-262 package outlines.

Samples and production quantities of the new H-type, high-barrier-height Schottky rectifiers are available now, with lead times of four weeks for larger orders. Pricing for delivery starts at $0.201 up to approximately $0.338 for 25,000-piece quantities.
