Product details
Overview
MBR2535CT from Diodes Incorporated is a 35V, 30A dual common-cathode Schottky barrier rectifier in TO-220AB package, featuring 0.73V forward voltage at 30A/25°C and 40mA peak reverse current at 125°C, optimized for low-voltage, high-frequency free-wheeling and polarity protection in DC-DC converters and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MBR2535CT datasheet, MBR2535CT pinout, MBR2535CT application, or MBR2535CT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 35V VRRM rating, dual common-cathode configuration, 1.5°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This dual-diode Schottky rectifier integrates two independent anode terminals sharing a single cathode terminal, enabling synchronous rectification or dual-path freewheeling in half-bridge topologies. Its guard ring die construction provides transient overvoltage protection without external snubbers.
Designed for operation up to +175°C junction temperature, it maintains stable forward conduction under high ambient conditions typical of enclosed power modules and motor drive inverters, with capacitance of 750pF per element at 1MHz/4V reverse bias.

Applications
| DC-DC Converter Freewheeling | Polarity Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 5–12V isolated flyback or forward converters powering FPGA or ASIC core rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel freewheeling diode replacing two discrete Schottkys to reduce layout area and parasitic inductance. Use Value: 0.73V VF minimizes conduction loss at 30A peak load, improving full-load efficiency by ≥1.2% versus silicon alternatives. | Use Scenario: Input reverse-polarity protection for 24V industrial PLC I/O modules exposed to field wiring errors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-cathode dual diode configured as OR-ing pair with external MOSFET gate control. Use Value: 35V VRRM withstands 24V system transients while 150A IFSM handles accidental short-circuit events. |
| Motor Drive Recirculation | LED Driver Output Rectification |
Use Scenario: Recirculating current path in H-bridge motor drivers for 24–48V brushed DC motors in automated machinery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-anode configuration allows independent freewheeling paths for upper and lower bridge arms. Use Value: 750pF capacitance limits EMI generation during 20kHz PWM commutation, easing EMC filter design. | Use Scenario: Output rectification in constant-current LED drivers for streetlighting systems operating at 36V output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current Schottky rectifier delivering stable DC to LED strings with minimal thermal rise. Use Value: 1.5°C/W RθJC enables direct heatsink mounting without thermal paste, reducing BOM count and assembly steps. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STPS30H100CG | 100V VRRM, 30A IO, VF = 0.82V @ 30A/25°C, TO-220AC package (isolated tab) | Higher voltage rating suits 48V telecom systems; higher VF increases conduction loss in 24V systems | Select when >60V reverse blocking is required; avoid if optimizing for lowest VF in ≤36V rails |
| VB2535-E3/4W | 35V VRRM, 25A IO, VF = 0.75V @ 25A/25°C, TO-220AB package, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited surge rating (120A vs 150A) and no automotive qualification restricts use to commercial-grade equipment | Acceptable for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications where 30A derating to 25A is acceptable |
Compared with STPS30H100CG and VB2535-E3/4W, MBR2535CT uniquely balances 35V blocking, 30A current, sub-0.75V VF, and AEC-Q101 compliance-making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding automotive and industrial 24V power stages.

FAQ
Is MBR2535CT pin-compatible with MBR2545CT or MBR2560CT?
Yes, all three share identical TO-220AB package, pinout (Pin 1 = Anode 1, Pin 2 = Common Cathode, Pin 3 = Anode 2), and mechanical footprint. Only electrical ratings differ-VRRM is 35V for MBR2535CT versus 45V and 60V for the others-so substitution requires verification of reverse voltage margin in the target circuit.
What is the maximum continuous junction temperature for MBR2535CT?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +175°C, with rated average output current of 30A specified at TC = +130°C. Derating curves show usable current drops to ~18A at TC = +150°C and ~12A at TC = +165°C, assuming proper heatsinking per the 1.5°C/W RθJC specification.
Does MBR2535CT require a heatsink in standard operation?
Yes-its 30A IO rating assumes mounting on a heatsink that maintains case temperature ≤+130°C. Without forced-air cooling or substantial copper area, thermal saturation occurs rapidly; typical designs use ≥15 cm² of 2oz copper with thermal vias or an aluminum heatsink to sustain full-rated current.
How does the guard ring construction improve reliability?
The guard ring is a doped semiconductor region surrounding the active junction edge, preventing premature avalanche breakdown under transient overvoltage. This eliminates need for external TVS diodes in many 24V/48V industrial applications and extends lifetime under repeated surge stress per IEC 61000-4-5 testing.
