MBR150, MBR160 MBR160 is a Preferred Device Axial Lead Rectifiers The MBR150/160 series employs the Schottky Barrier principle in a large area metaltosilicon power diode. Stateoftheart geometry features epitaxial construction with oxide passivation and metal overlap contact. Ideally suited for use as rectifiers in lowvoltage, highfrequency inverters, free wheeling diodes, and polarity protection diodes.
