Product details
Overview
MBR2045CT-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a high-efficiency dual Schottky rectifier in TO-220-3 (2) package, rated for 45 V peak reverse voltage, 10 A average forward current per diode leg, and 0.65 V max forward voltage at +25°C. It delivers low switching losses and low noise in high-frequency switch-mode power supplies and DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the MBR2045CT-G1 datasheet, MBR2045CT-G1 pinout, MBR2045CT-G1 application, or MBR2045CT-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-diode configuration, 150°C junction temperature rating, guard-ring stress protection, RoHS-compliant matte tin finish, and thermal resistance of 2.2°C/W (junction-to-case).
Technical Context
This dual common-cathode Schottky rectifier integrates two independent 45 V / 10 A diode legs sharing a single cathode terminal (Pin 2), enabling synchronous output rectification in center-tapped or dual-output topologies. Its low VF and fast recovery support high-efficiency operation above 100 kHz.
The device uses planar epitaxial construction with guard-ring passivation to suppress edge breakdown and sustain 10000 V/µs voltage slew rate. Thermal performance is optimized for mounting on heatsinks, with RθJC = 2.2°C/W and maximum TJ = +150°C under rated load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 45 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage per diode leg; defines safe operating range in flyback or forward converter secondary side. |
| IF(AV) per leg | 10 A - Average forward current rating per diode at TC = +139°C; supports continuous 20 A total output when used in dual-leg configuration. |
| VF (max) | 0.65 V @ 10 A, +25°C - Low conduction loss enables >92% efficiency in 12 V output rails at full load. |
| IR (max) | 0.1 mA @ 45 V, +25°C - Minimal leakage preserves regulation in standby mode and reduces no-load power consumption. |
| TJ (max) | +150°C - Enables reliable operation in thermally constrained industrial power supplies without derating below 10 A. |
| RθJC | 2.2°C/W - Confirms effective heat transfer to external heatsink; allows 11 W dissipation before reaching thermal limit at TC = +139°C. |
| IFSM | 150 A - Peak non-repetitive surge rating supports robust startup and transient overload handling in AC-DC front ends. |
Pinout & Package
MBR2045CT-G1 is housed in a TO-220-3 (2) plastic package with isolated tab (non-conductive mounting surface), 1.95 g mass, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and matte tin–annealed copper leadframe terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (A1) | Anode Leg 1 | Independent anode connection for first Schottky diode; electrically isolated from Pin 3 and tab. |
| 2 (K) | Common Cathode | Shared cathode node for both diodes; must be connected to system ground or output return path. |
| 3 (A2) | Anode Leg 2 | Independent anode connection for second Schottky diode; fully isolated from Pin 1 and tab. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage | 0.65 V max @ 10 A, +25°C - Reduces conduction loss by ≥35% vs. standard silicon rectifiers at same current. |
| Guard-ring stress protection | Integrated edge termination - Prevents premature avalanche breakdown at high dv/dt, enabling stable operation up to 10000 V/µs. |
| +150°C junction rating | Rated operation to maximum TJ - Eliminates need for thermal derating in compact 50–100 W enclosed power supplies. |
| Lead-free & halogen-free | RoHS 3 compliant, <900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb - Meets IPC-1752A material declaration requirements for automotive and industrial OEMs. |
| High surge capability | 150 A IFSM - Withstands 60 Hz half-sine surges during cold-start or line-dip recovery without degradation. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-20BQ040PBF | Same 45 V VRRM, but 20 A total IF(AV); VF = 0.62 V @ 10 A, +25°C; TO-220AC package with conductive tab. | Conductive tab requires insulating washer; higher surge rating (200 A IFSM) suits harsher environments. | Select when higher surge margin or lower VF is prioritized and isolation from heatsink is managed externally. |
| ON Semiconductor MBR2045CT | Identical electrical specs and pinout; RoHS-compliant but not "Green" (halogen content unspecified); legacy marking format. | No halogen-free certification; may not meet latest automotive or green procurement mandates. | Select only for cost-sensitive industrial designs where halogen-free compliance is not contractually required. |
Compared with VS-20BQ040PBF and MBR2045CT, MBR2045CT-G1 uniquely combines guaranteed halogen/antimony-free construction, verified 2.2°C/W thermal resistance, and Diodes Inc.'s AEC-Q101-ready manufacturing infrastructure-making it preferred for automotive-grade power modules and medical-grade adapters requiring full material traceability.

FAQ
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RθJC) for MBR2045CT-G1?
The junction-to-case thermal resistance is 2.2°C/W for the TO-220-3 (2) package, measured under standard test conditions with proper heatsink mounting per Diodes' recommended pad layout. This value enables 11 W of continuous power dissipation before reaching the +150°C maximum junction temperature at +139°C case temperature.
Is MBR2045CT-G1 suitable for automotive applications?
MBR2045CT-G1 is manufactured in IATF 16949–certified facilities and supports PPAP documentation. While not pre-qualified to AEC-Q101, Diodes Incorporated offers AEC-Q101–qualified variants (e.g., MBR2045CTQ-G1) upon request. For automotive use, contact Diodes' automotive team to initiate qualification and change control processes.
How does the guard-ring structure improve reliability?
The integrated guard-ring passivation reduces electric field crowding at the silicon periphery, suppressing edge-initiated avalanche breakdown. This allows stable operation at rated VRRM even under high dv/dt transients (up to 10000 V/µs) and extends lifetime in noisy industrial environments where voltage spikes exceed 1.5× nominal bus voltage.
Can MBR2045CT-G1 replace two separate 10 A Schottky diodes?
Yes-its dual common-cathode configuration (A1–K–A2) directly replaces two discrete 10 A Schottky diodes sharing a common output node. This reduces PCB area by ~35%, lowers parasitic inductance in high-frequency paths, and eliminates mismatch in forward voltage between channels, improving current sharing accuracy in parallel-wound transformer secondaries.
