Product details
Overview
MBR1045CT from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 10A dual-die Schottky barrier rectifier in TO-220AB package, rated for 45V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 120A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM), and maximum junction temperature of 150°C; used in high-efficiency DC/DC converters and AC/DC adapters where low forward voltage drop and fast switching are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MBR1045CT datasheet, MBR1045CT pinout, MBR1045CT application, or MBR1045CT equivalent, key selection criteria include verified VF = 0.70 V @ 5A/25°C, IR = 100 µA @ 45V/25°C, RθJC = 1.5 °C/W, and AEC-Q101 qualification availability (H-suffix variant).
Technical Context
The MBR1045CT integrates two independent Schottky diodes in a single TO-220AB thermally optimized package with common cathode configuration. Its guard ring structure provides overvoltage protection, and it supports high-frequency operation due to low junction capacitance and absence of minority-carrier storage delay.
Designed for continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) topologies, the device delivers low power loss via forward voltage as low as 0.67 V @ 10A/125°C and maintains stable reverse leakage (<15 mA @ 45V/125°C), enabling reliable thermal performance in compact power supplies.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STPS1045CG | Same 10A/45V rating, TO-220AC package (isolated tab), VF = 0.72 V @ 5A/25°C | No AEC-Q101 variant offered; lower surge rating (100A vs. 120A) | Preferred when tab isolation is mandatory and AEC-Q101 not required |
| ON Semi MBR1045CT | Identical marking, same TO-220AB package, but VF = 0.75 V @ 5A/25°C and IR = 120 µA @ 45V/25°C | Higher leakage and marginally higher VF; no halogen-free certification stated | Valid alternative only if RoHS/halogen-free compliance is not mandated |
Compared with STPS1045CG and ON Semi MBR1045CT, the Taiwan Semiconductor MBR1045CT offers superior surge robustness (120A), tighter leakage control (100 µA), and halogen-free compliance-making it optimal for space-constrained industrial and automotive-qualified designs requiring long-term thermal stability.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of the MBR1045CT?
The MBR1045CT uses a TO-220AB package with three terminals: Pin 1 (left) is Anode 1, Pin 2 (center) is the common Cathode connected to the metal tab, and Pin 3 (right) is Anode 2. The tab must be electrically isolated unless intentionally used as the cathode return path. This configuration supports dual independent rectification paths with shared output.
Is the MBR1045CT suitable for automotive applications?
Yes-the AEC-Q101 qualified version is designated MBR1045CTH and undergoes stress testing including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD per JESD22. Standard MBR1045CT is not AEC-Q101 certified; design-in for automotive use requires explicit verification of the 'H' suffix part number and its qualification report.
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation of the MBR1045CT?
The MBR1045CT supports continuous operation up to 100°C case temperature (TC) at full 10A rated current, based on its thermal resistance RθJC = 1.5 °C/W and TJMAX = 150°C. Derating is required above 100°C case temperature; full current is not sustainable at TC > 100°C without active cooling or reduced load.
How does the MBR1045CT compare to the MBR1035CT in terms of forward voltage and thermal performance?
The MBR1045CT and MBR1035CT share identical forward voltage specs (0.70 V @ 5A/25°C, 0.67 V @ 10A/125°C) and thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.5 °C/W). Their key difference lies in VRRM: 45V vs. 35V. Both use the same TO-220AB package and dual-die construction, making them mechanically interchangeable where voltage margin permits.
Does the MBR1045CT require a heatsink in typical 10A applications?
Yes-a heatsink is strongly recommended. At 10A and 0.67 V forward drop, power dissipation exceeds 6.7 W. With RθJC = 1.5 °C/W and ambient at 50°C, junction temperature would exceed 150°C without additional thermal resistance reduction. A minimum 10 cm² aluminum heatsink (RθSA ≤ 10 °C/W) is advised for sustained 10A operation.
