Overview
The MUR160 is a 1A, 600V super-fast recovery rectifier diode produced by Diodes Incorporated. This component is designed for high-efficiency applications, particularly in single-phase, half-wave rectification circuits with resistive or inductive loads. For capacitive loads, the current should be derated by 20%.
The MUR160 features a glass passivated die construction, ensuring reliable operation and high surge overload ratings. It is packaged in a DO-41 plastic case, which is UL flammability classified 94V-0 and has a lead-free finish, making it RoHS compliant.
