Product details
Overview
MBR1645HC0G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 16A, 45V AEC-Q101-qualified Schottky barrier rectifier in TO-220AC package, featuring 0.63V forward voltage at 16A/25°C, 150A surge current capability, and guard ring overvoltage protection-used in automotive-grade DC-DC converters and industrial SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the MBR1645HC0G datasheet, MBR1645HC0G pinout, MBR1645HC0G application, or MBR1645HC0G equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, low VF at high IF, TJ max of 150°C, RθJC of 3°C/W, and TO-220AC thermal mounting compatibility.
Technical Context
This single-die Schottky rectifier operates with unidirectional conduction and zero recovery time, enabling high-frequency switching efficiency in hard-switched topologies. Its guard ring structure enhances ruggedness against transient overvoltage events without external snubbers.
The device sustains 150A non-repetitive surge (8.3ms half-sine) and maintains <500µA reverse leakage at 45V/25°C, supporting stable operation in thermally constrained power stages where junction temperature reaches up to 150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 45 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in flyback/clamp circuits |
| IF | 16 A - Continuous average forward current; sets minimum heatsink sizing for sustained load conditions |
| VF @ 16A, 25°C | 0.63 V - Low conduction loss enabling >92% efficiency in 12V-output SMPS at full load |
| IFSM | 150 A - Peak surge rating; supports cold-start inrush and short-circuit fault handling |
| RθJC | 3 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to case; enables direct bolt-down heatsinking without thermal interface material |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; allows operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| IR @ 45V, 25°C | 500 µA - Low reverse leakage; minimizes standby power loss in always-on systems |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220AC - Insulated case with single mounting hole, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability, UL 94V-0 molding compound, and polarity marked on body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input current entry point | Connected to input rail or transformer secondary; must handle full 16A continuous and 150A surge |
| Cathode | Output current exit point | Connected to output filter capacitor and load; low-inductance layout critical for EMI control |
| Case / Tab | Electrically connected to cathode | Provides primary thermal path to heatsink; electrically isolated mounting required if cathode is not chassis-ground referenced |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive powertrain and body electronics per stress test requirements including HTOL, TC, and HTRB |
| Guard ring overvoltage protection | Prevents premature avalanche breakdown during line transients, eliminating need for external TVS in many 12V/24V systems |
| Low VF at high IF | 0.63V @ 16A/25°C reduces conduction loss by ~25% vs. comparable 45V Si diodes, lowering thermal design burden |
| Halogen-free construction | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21; supports RoHS-compliant manufacturing and end-of-life recycling |
| JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance | Ensures long-term solder joint reliability in vibration-prone automotive and industrial deployments |
Applications
| Automotive DC-DC Converter | Industrial SMPS Secondary Side |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 12V-to-5V/3.3V buck converter in ADAS ECU requiring AEC-Q101 compliance and high efficiency at 10–16A load.

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-MBR1645CT | TO-220AB dual common-cathode configuration; VF = 0.67V @ 16A/25°C; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Requires redesign for single-diode layout; unsuitable for automotive qualification-critical designs | Select only for cost-sensitive industrial adapters without automotive compliance needs |
| ON Semiconductor MBR1645CT | TO-220AB dual configuration; VF = 0.65V @ 16A/25°C; AEC-Q101 available only in M1 prefix variant (MBR1645CT-M1) | Dual-diode footprint incompatible with MBR1645HC0G's single-anode/cathode layout | Choose MBR1645HC0G when single-diode TO-220AC mechanical fit and guaranteed AEC-Q101 are mandatory |
Compared with VS-MBR1645CT and MBR1645CT, MBR1645HC0G provides verified AEC-Q101 qualification in a single-diode TO-220AC package with lowest VF (0.63V), making it the preferred choice for space-constrained, thermally demanding automotive and industrial rectification where layout and qualification cannot be compromised.

FAQ
What does the 'H' suffix in MBR1645HC0G indicate?
The 'H' in MBR1645HC0G denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, confirming that the device has passed stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and highly accelerated stress testing per automotive reliability standards. This makes MBR1645HC0G suitable for under-hood and safety-critical vehicle subsystems where standard industrial-grade parts are insufficient.
Is MBR1645HC0G pin-compatible with other TO-220AC Schottky rectifiers?
Yes, MBR1645HC0G uses the standard TO-220AC outline with anode, cathode, and electrically connected tab terminals in identical physical positions. Its pinout matches industry-standard TO-220AC rectifiers such as STTH1604 and SB1645, enabling drop-in replacement where voltage and current ratings align-though AEC-Q101 validation remains unique to MBR1645HC0G.
What is the maximum allowable mounting torque for MBR1645HC0G?
The maximum mounting torque for MBR1645HC0G is 0.56 N·m, as specified in the mechanical data section of the official TSC datasheet. Exceeding this value risks cracking the epoxy mold compound or damaging internal wire bonds, potentially causing premature failure under thermal cycling or vibration.
Does MBR1645HC0G require a thermal pad or insulator when mounted to a heatsink?
MBR1645HC0G's TO-220AC case is electrically connected to the cathode terminal, so electrical isolation from the heatsink is required unless the cathode node is chassis-ground referenced. A mica or silicone thermal pad rated for ≥150°C and ≥2.5kV isolation is recommended to maintain both thermal performance (RθJC = 3°C/W) and safety compliance.
How does the guard ring in MBR1645HC0G improve system reliability?
The integrated guard ring in MBR1645HC0G controls electric field distribution at the die edge, preventing localized avalanche breakdown during voltage transients. This eliminates the need for external TVS diodes in many 12V/24V automotive circuits, reducing BOM count and improving long-term reliability under load dump or jump-start conditions.
