Product details
Overview
MBR15100CT from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 15A dual-die Schottky barrier rectifier in TO-220AB package, rated for 100V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 150A surge current (IFSM), and maximum junction temperature of 150°C; it delivers 0.92V forward voltage at 7.5A/25°C and 100µA reverse leakage at rated VR/25°C, used in high-efficiency DC-DC converters and industrial SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the MBR15100CT datasheet, MBR15100CT pinout, MBR15100CT application, or MBR15100CT equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM=100V, IF=15A, VF=0.92V @7.5A/25°C, IRRM=100µA @100V/25°C, and thermal resistance RθJC=1.5°C/W - all confirmed for this exact variant.
Technical Context
This dual-die Schottky rectifier integrates two independent anode-cathode junctions in a single TO-220AB package with common cathode configuration (CT suffix), enabling full-wave rectification without external parallel diodes. Its guard ring structure provides overvoltage protection, and dv/dt rating of 10,000 V/μs supports fast-switching topologies.
Designed for continuous conduction mode operation, it sustains 15A average forward current with derating above 75°C case temperature and exhibits low thermal resistance (RθJA=10°C/W, RθJC=1.5°C/W) to support high-power density designs in constrained thermal environments.

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-MBR15100CT | VRRM=100V, IF=15A, VF=0.92V @7.5A/25°C, same TO-220AB package and CT pinout | Identical electrical and mechanical specs; qualified to AEC-Q101 in H-grade version only | Select when requiring Vishay's extended qualification documentation or preferred distributor stocking |
| ON Semiconductor MBR15100CT | VRRM=100V, IF=15A, VF=0.90V @7.5A/25°C, TO-220AB CT package, RθJC=1.4°C/W | Slightly lower VF and marginally better thermal resistance; no halogen-free claim in base datasheet | Prefer for ultra-low-loss designs where 20mV VF reduction justifies sourcing from alternate vendor |
Compared with VS-MBR15100CT and ON Semi MBR15100CT, the Taiwan Semiconductor MBR15100CT offers identical core ratings and pinout but distinguishes itself with halogen-free compliance per IEC 61249-2-21 and explicit guard ring implementation - critical for surge-prone industrial power rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for MBR15100CT?
The MBR15100CT has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet Version I2104. This rating defines the upper thermal limit for reliable operation and must be respected in thermal design - actual junction temperature must remain below 150°C under worst-case power dissipation and ambient conditions. Derating curves in the datasheet specify allowable IF vs. case temperature to ensure compliance.
Does MBR15100CT have AEC-Q101 qualification?
The base MBR15100CT is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the AEC-Q101-qualified version is designated MBR15100CTH per Taiwan Semiconductor's ordering information. The "H" suffix indicates full automotive qualification including stress testing per AEC-Q101 standards. For automotive infotainment or body control module designs, MBR15100CTH - not MBR15100CT - must be specified and sourced.
What does the "CT" suffix mean in MBR15100CT?
The "CT" suffix in MBR15100CT denotes Common Cathode configuration: the device contains two independent Schottky diodes sharing a single cathode terminal (Lead 2), with separate anode terminals (Leads 1 and 3). This allows full-wave rectification from a center-tapped transformer or dual-output topology without external interconnection. It is not a dual-anode or series configuration - pinout and internal structure are fixed per TO-220AB mechanical drawing.
What is the forward voltage of MBR15100CT at 15A and 25°C?
The datasheet does not specify VF at 15A/25°C for MBR15100CT - only values for MBR1535CT and MBR1545CT are provided at that condition (0.84V max). For MBR15100CT, VF is characterized at 7.5A/25°C (0.92V typ) and 7.5A/125°C (0.82V typ). At 15A, VF must be estimated from the typical forward characteristics curve (Fig.4), where MBR1590CT–MBR15100CT show ~1.05–1.10V at 15A/25°C - engineering margin should assume ≤1.15V for thermal design.
Is MBR15100CT halogen-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, MBR15100CT is both RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as explicitly stated in the FEATURES section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet Version I2104. The molding compound contains no brominated or chlorinated flame retardants, and lead content complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. This applies to standard (non-H) and AEC-Q101 (H-suffix) variants alike.
