Product details
Overview
MBR1030CT from Diodes Incorporated is a 10A dual common-cathode Schottky barrier rectifier in TO-220AB package, rated for 30V peak repetitive reverse voltage, with maximum 0.55V forward voltage at 5A/125°C and 0.1mA reverse leakage at 25°C. It serves as polarity protection and recirculating diode in DC power supplies and motor drive freewheeling paths.
For engineers reviewing the MBR1030CT datasheet, MBR1030CT pinout, MBR1030CT application, or MBR1030CT equivalent, key selection criteria include per-leg forward voltage drop, thermal resistance (3 K/W junction-to-case), surge current rating (100A IFSM), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This dual-element Schottky rectifier integrates two independent anode terminals sharing one cathode connection, enabling synchronous half-wave rectification or bidirectional clamping. Its guard ring die construction enhances transient immunity, while low VF minimizes conduction loss in high-efficiency 12V–24V DC systems.
Designed for surface-mount-compatible through-hole mounting with TO-220AB's metal tab for heatsinking, it operates across –55°C to +150°C and delivers 150pF typical junction capacitance at 1MHz/4V, supporting fast-switching behavior without significant capacitive loading.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage per leg; defines safe operating range in 24V nominal systems with transient margin. |
| IO (per leg) | 5 A - Continuous DC output current per anode; total device rating is 10A with shared cathode path. |
| VF max | 0.55 V @ 5A, 125°C - Low conduction loss enables >92% efficiency in 5A/12V buck converter outputs. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Single half-sine surge rating supports motor startup and inductive load turn-off spikes. |
| RθJC | 3 K/W - Enables direct heatsink attachment for thermal management in compact industrial power modules. |
| IR max | 0.1 mA @ 25°C - Minimal leakage preserves battery standby life in always-on automotive subsystems. |
| CT | 150 pF @ 1 MHz, 4V - Low junction capacitance reduces switching noise and EMI in high-frequency SMPS designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STPS1030CG | Same TO-220AB package, 30V/10A rating, but higher VF (0.62V @ 5A/125°C) and no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Acceptable for commercial power supplies but not automotive under-hood use. | Select when cost is prioritized over automotive qualification and thermal performance. |
| ON Semiconductor MBR1030CTG | Identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 rating, but uses different die process resulting in 10% higher IR (0.11mA) at 25°C. | Functionally interchangeable in all applications where 0.01mA extra leakage is acceptable. | Choose for multi-source procurement flexibility without design revalidation. |
Compared with STPS1030CG and MBR1030CTG, the Diodes Incorporated MBR1030CT offers the lowest forward voltage and tightest leakage specification among TO-220AB 30V dual Schottkys, making it optimal for thermally constrained or battery-sensitive designs requiring long-term reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The MBR1030CT has an operating junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. For continuous 5A per leg operation, the case temperature must be maintained ≤125°C using a heatsink with thermal resistance ≤3 K/W, based on its 3 K/W RθJC and 0.55V forward drop at that condition.
Can MBR1030CT replace MBR1040CT in a 40V design?
No - MBR1030CT is rated for 30V VRRM, while MBR1040CT is rated for 40V. Substituting it in a 40V system risks reverse breakdown during transients or ripple peaks. The 10V margin difference violates minimum derating guidelines for reliability-critical applications.
Is the metal tab electrically isolated from the cathode pin?
Yes - the TO-220AB metal tab is internally connected to Pin 2 (common cathode), so it is not electrically isolated. Insulating hardware (e.g., shoulder washers or mica pads) must be used if mounting to a grounded heatsink to prevent short circuits.
Does MBR1030CT support wave soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020?
Yes - the device is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it can undergo unlimited floor life and standard wave soldering profiles without preconditioning. Its leadframe and molding compound are qualified for peak temperatures up to 260°C.
