Product details
Overview
MBR1045CT-Y from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 10A, 45V dual-die Schottky barrier rectifier in TO-220AB package, featuring 0.70 V max forward voltage at 5A/25°C, 120A surge current capability, and guard ring overvoltage protection - deployed in high-efficiency AC/DC adapters and DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the MBR1045CT-Y datasheet, MBR1045CT-Y pinout, MBR1045CT-Y application, or MBR1045CT-Y equivalent, key selection criteria include junction-to-case thermal resistance (1.5 °C/W), reverse leakage (100 µA @ 25°C), and dual-diode configuration for center-tapped transformer rectification.
Technical Context
This dual-die Schottky rectifier integrates two independent 45V/10A diodes in a single TO-220AB case with common cathode configuration. Its low VF (0.70 V typ. @ 5A/25°C) and high dv/dt rating (10,000 V/µs) support fast-switching topologies in SMPS designs.
The device operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range, with 1.5 °C/W RθJC, enabling direct heatsink mounting without isolation washers. Guard ring structure enhances ruggedness against transient overvoltage events.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-MBR1045CT | Same TO-220AB package, 0.72 V max VF @ 5A/25°C, 1.6 °C/W RθJC | Marginally higher thermal resistance requires slightly larger heatsink area | Preferred where Vishay qualification or legacy design reuse is required |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for MBR1045CT-Y?
The MBR1045CT-Y has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C and a minimum of -55°C. This wide operating range allows reliable use in thermally demanding environments such as enclosed power adapters or under-hood automotive electronics. The device maintains specified electrical performance across this full range, with forward voltage decreasing to 0.67 V at 10A/125°C.
Does MBR1045CT-Y support center-tapped transformer rectification?
Yes, MBR1045CT-Y supports center-tapped full-wave rectification via its dual-anode/common-cathode configuration. Pins 1 and 3 serve as independent anodes, while Pin 2 is the shared cathode - eliminating external diode pairing and reducing board space. This topology is widely used in cost-sensitive offline SMPS designs.
What is the reverse leakage current of MBR1045CT-Y at elevated temperature?
At rated 45V reverse voltage and 125°C junction temperature, MBR1045CT-Y exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 15 mA. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table and impacts standby power in low-load conditions - designers should verify system-level standby budget accordingly.
Is MBR1045CT-Y pin-compatible with other parts in the MBR10xxCT-Y family?
Yes, all MBR10xxCT-Y variants - including MBR1060CT-Y, MBR10100CT-Y, and MBR10200CT-Y - share identical TO-220AB mechanical outline, pin assignment, and mounting footprint. Voltage rating differences do not affect physical compatibility, enabling design reuse across input voltage ranges with only BOM change.
What does the "-Y" suffix indicate in MBR1045CT-Y?
The "-Y" suffix in MBR1045CT-Y denotes halogen-free compliance per IEC 61249-2-21 and full RoHS compliance. It distinguishes this variant from non-halogen-free equivalents like MBR1045CT (no suffix), ensuring alignment with environmental regulations for export to EU, Japan, and other regulated markets.
