Product Features

16A / 600V Rating

MUR1660 combines a 16A average forward current rating with a 600V repetitive peak reverse voltage rating, providing a high-current fast-recovery option for power conversion circuits.

 

50ns Maximum Reverse Recovery Time

The device specifies a maximum reverse recovery time of 50ns under the datasheet test condition:

IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, Irr = 0.25A, TJ = 25°C.

Because reverse-recovery specifications depend on measurement conditions, engineers comparing MUR1660 devices from different suppliers should compare both the trr value and its test conditions, rather than comparing the 50ns figure alone.

 

Forward Voltage Characteristics

At TJ = 25°C, the datasheet specifies a maximum forward voltage of:

● 1.7V @ IF = 16A
● 1.3V @ IF = 10A

At TJ = 125°C, typical forward-voltage values are specified at several current levels, including 1.08V typical at IF = 16A.

These operating conditions should be considered when comparing conduction characteristics for a specific application.

 

250A Surge Current Capability

MUR1660 is rated for a 250A non-repetitive single-pulse surge current at 8.3ms.

For applications exposed to startup or transient current events, the actual pulse waveform, duration, repetition and thermal conditions should be checked against the application requirements.

 

TO-220AC Package

MUR1660 uses a TO-220AC package. The datasheet provides the complete mechanical dimensions for PCB and mechanical compatibility checks.

When evaluating the device as a replacement, verify the package dimensions, pin configuration, polarity and mounting arrangement rather than relying only on the TO-220AC package name.

 

Typical Applications

MUR1660 can be evaluated for applications requiring high-current fast rectification, including:

● Switching power supplies
● AC/DC and DC/DC power conversion
● Freewheeling and clamping circuits
● High-frequency rectification
● Industrial power supplies
● Power converters and inverter circuits

Final device selection should be based on the actual voltage, current, switching, surge and thermal requirements of the application.

 

MUR1660 Replacement & Second-Source Evaluation Looking for an alternative MUR1660 source?

POWERSi MUR1660 can be evaluated for replacement and second-source applications where a 16A, 600V fast-recovery rectifier in a TO-220AC package is required.

Do not qualify a replacement based only on the MUR1660 part number.

Before substitution, compare:

Voltage & Current Ratings
Verify VRRM, average forward current and surge-current requirements.

Forward Voltage
Compare VF at equivalent current and junction-temperature conditions.

Reverse Recovery
Compare trr together with the specified reverse-recovery test conditions.

Leakage Current
Check reverse leakage at the required voltage and operating temperature.

Package & Pin Configuration
Confirm TO-220AC dimensions, pin configuration, polarity and mechanical fit.

Thermal Conditions
Evaluate the actual mounting method, cooling conditions and junction temperature. POWERSi specifies RθJC = 4.0°C/W for MUR1660.
