MUR460 - Taiwan Semiconductor

MUR460 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended soldering temperature profile for the MUR460?
  The recommended soldering temperature profile for the MUR460 is a peak temperature of 260°C for 10-15 seconds, with a ramp-up rate of 3°C/s and a ramp-down rate of 6°C/s.
• How do I handle ESD protection when working with the MUR460?
  To prevent ESD damage, handle the MUR460 with an anti-static wrist strap or mat, and ensure that all equipment and tools are properly grounded. Avoid touching the device's pins or leads.
• What is the maximum allowable voltage stress for the MUR460?
  The MUR460 can withstand a maximum voltage stress of 1.5 times the rated voltage (460V) for a short duration (less than 1 second). Prolonged exposure to high voltage stress may reduce the device's lifespan.
• Can I use the MUR460 in a high-frequency switching application?
  While the MUR460 is suitable for high-frequency switching applications, its performance may degrade above 100 kHz. For frequencies above 100 kHz, consider using a diode with a lower reverse recovery time, such as the MURS160.
• How do I ensure the MUR460 is properly cooled in a high-power application?
  Ensure good thermal contact between the MUR460 and a heat sink or PCB with a thermal conductivity of at least 1 W/m-K. Apply a thin layer of thermal interface material (TIM) to the device's case, and secure it with a screw or clip.
