6. Frequently Asked Questions
▶>
It refers to its very low reverse recovery time (~75ns), minimizing switching losses in high-frequency power applications.
>
No. TO-220 case has exposed metal tab; it requires insulation or thermally conductive pad if mounted to grounded heat sinks.
>
It's widely used in power supplies, inverter circuits, PFC stages, and solar inverters where rapid switching is essential.
>
Not directly. Schottky diodes have lower voltage ratings and different recovery characteristics. MUR1560G suits higher voltages.
>
Similar diodes are available in D2PAK or DPAK, but the MUR1560G is typically through-hole only.
