Product details
Overview
MBR1045HE3/45 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a 45 V, 10 A Schottky barrier rectifier in TO-220AC package, featuring 0.57 V forward voltage at 10 A and 125 °C junction temperature, 150 A peak surge capability, and operation up to 150 °C junction temperature-designed for low-voltage, high-frequency rectification in DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the MBR1045HE3/45 datasheet, MBR1045HE3/45 pinout, MBR1045HE3/45 application, or MBR1045HE3/45 equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage drop at rated current and temperature, thermal resistance (2.0 °C/W), surge rating, RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, and compatibility with 245 °C reflow profiles per J-STD-020.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-diode, unidirectional power rectifier optimized for switching-mode power supplies. Its low VF minimizes conduction loss, while high dV/dt rating (10,000 V/μs) supports fast-switching topologies. The TO-220AC package enables direct heatsink mounting with ≤10 in-lbs torque.
It delivers stable performance across -65 °C to +150 °C operating junction range and exhibits 0.10 mA reverse leakage at 25 °C and rated VR. Thermal resistance of 2.0 °C/W from junction-to-case ensures effective heat dissipation under continuous 10 A average load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 45 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe DC/peak AC voltage limit before breakdown |
| IF(AV) | 10 A - average forward current at TC = 25 °C; derates linearly above 25 °C case temperature |
| VF @ 10 A, 125 °C | 0.57 V - low conduction loss enabling >90% efficiency in 5–12 V output DC/DC stages |
| IFSM | 150 A - non-repetitive surge rating for 8.3 ms half-sine; withstands startup/inrush transients |
| RθJC | 2.0 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to case; enables ~20 W power dissipation with 40 °C ΔT to heatsink |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature; supports operation in sealed or high-ambient industrial environments |
| IR @ VR, 25 °C | 0.10 mA - low reverse leakage preserves efficiency in battery-backed or standby circuits |

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 45 V / 10 A rating; VF = 0.55 V @ 10 A, 125 °C; TO-220AC package; no MSL Level 1 claim | Lower VF improves efficiency marginally but lacks documented J-STD-020 reflow qualification | Select when absolute minimum conduction loss is prioritized and reflow profile control is assured |
| ON Semi MBR1045CT | 45 V / 10 A dual common-cathode configuration; VF = 0.62 V @ 10 A, 125 °C; TO-220AB package with shared cathode | Not single-diode; requires layout change for single-path use; intended for dual-output or center-tapped designs | Choose only if dual-diode topology matches system architecture; not a drop-in replacement |
Compared with STPS1045CG and MBR1045CT, the MBR1045HE3/45 offers verified MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility and consistent 0.57 V VF at high temperature-critical for production reliability in high-volume industrial power supplies where process control and thermal stability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for MBR1045HE3/45?
The MBR1045HE3/45 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +150 °C, validated per Vishay's thermal characterization and supported by its 2.0 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance. This rating allows sustained operation in enclosed industrial enclosures or under high ambient conditions when properly heatsinked. Derating curves in the official datasheet confirm usable current capacity down to 0 A at 150 °C case temperature.
Is MBR1045HE3/45 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the "E3" suffix in MBR1045HE3/45 explicitly denotes RoHS-compliant construction per EU Directive 2011/65/EU, and the device is also halogen-free per Vishay's material categorization standard. Lead finishes are matte tin plated and qualified to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, with whisker resistance meeting JESD 201 Class 1A.
Does MBR1045HE3/45 support lead-free reflow assembly?
Yes, MBR1045HE3/45 meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and is rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 245 °C, making it compatible with standard lead-free soldering processes without preconditioning or baking. Its TO-220AC package is qualified for both wave and reflow, with maximum solder bath temperature of 275 °C for 10 seconds per JESD 22-B106.
What is the forward voltage drop of MBR1045HE3/45 at full rated current and elevated temperature?
The MBR1045HE3/45 specifies a maximum instantaneous forward voltage (VF) of 0.57 V at IF = 10 A and TJ = 125 °C. This value is measured under pulsed conditions and reflects real-world conduction loss in thermally stressed DC/DC converter outputs. At 25 °C, VF is 0.80 V under the same test condition.
Can MBR1045HE3/45 be used in automotive applications?
The base MBR1045HE3/45 is commercial-grade and not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, Vishay offers the functionally identical MBR1045HM3/45 variant (D2PAK) and MBRB1045HM3/I (D2PAK tape-and-reel) with full AEC-Q101 qualification. For under-hood or BCM use, those HM3-suffix variants must be selected-MBR1045HE3/45 itself is intended for industrial and computing power supplies.
