Product details
Overview
MBR3045CT from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 30A, 45V dual-die Schottky barrier rectifier in TO-220AB package, featuring low forward voltage (0.70 V at 15 A, 25°C), high surge current capability (200 A), and junction-to-case thermal resistance of 1.0°C/W. It serves as a primary output rectifier in high-efficiency DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the MBR3045CT datasheet, MBR3045CT pinout, MBR3045CT application, or MBR3045CT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 45 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, dual-common-cathode configuration, AEC-Q101 qualification option (MBR3045CTH), and thermal performance under continuous 30 A conduction.
Technical Context
This device integrates two independent Schottky diodes in a single TO-220AB package with common cathode connection, enabling synchronous rectification or dual-output configurations. Its guard ring structure provides overvoltage protection, and it supports operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature.
The MBR3045CT delivers low conduction loss with VF = 0.70 V (typ.) at 15 A/25°C and 0.73 V (max.) at 30 A/125°C, while maintaining IR ≤ 200 µA at 45 V/25°C and ≤15 mA at 45 V/125°C - critical for standby efficiency in SMPS designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 45 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage per diode; defines safe operating range in secondary-side rectification |
| IF(AV) | 30 A - average forward current rating; supports continuous high-current output stages without forced air cooling |
| IFSM | 200 A - non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine); withstands inrush and transient overload events |
| VF @ 15A, 25°C | ≤0.70 V - low forward drop reduces conduction loss and improves system efficiency above 90% |
| RθJC | 1.0 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to case; enables direct heatsink mounting for thermal management |
| IR @ 45V, 25°C | ≤200 µA - low leakage preserves light-load efficiency and minimizes standby power draw |

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-30CPH045 | Same 45 V VRRM, 30 A IF, TO-247AC package; RθJC = 0.9°C/W; VF = 0.69 V @ 15 A | Higher thermal performance but larger footprint; requires PCB re-layout | Select when board space allows and lower thermal resistance is prioritized over cost and form factor |
| ON Semiconductor MBR3045CT | Identical electrical specs and TO-220AB package; differs in marking, traceability, and qualification status (no AEC-Q101 option) | Drop-in replacement where automotive qualification is not required | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial designs where Taiwan Semiconductor's AEC-Q101 option is unnecessary |
Compared with VS-30CPH045 and ON Semiconductor's MBR3045CT, the Taiwan Semiconductor MBR3045CT offers unique AEC-Q101 qualification (via H-suffix variant) and identical TO-220AB mechanical fit, making it optimal for automotive-adjacent industrial power supplies requiring qualification traceability without layout change.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the MBR3045CT?
The MBR3045CT has a maximum junction temperature (TJ MAX) of +150°C, with operational range from –55°C to +150°C. This rating allows reliable use in high-temperature environments such as enclosed power supplies or under-hood automotive applications when paired with appropriate heatsinking per its 1.0°C/W RθJC specification.
Does the MBR3045CT have AEC-Q101 qualification?
The standard MBR3045CT is not AEC-Q101 qualified, but the variant MBR3045CTH is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101. The "H" suffix denotes automotive-grade screening and testing; both share identical electrical and thermal specifications, differing only in qualification status and traceability documentation.
What is the forward voltage drop of the MBR3045CT at full rated current?
At 30 A and 25°C, the MBR3045CT exhibits a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 0.82 V per diode. At elevated junction temperature (125°C), VF rises to a maximum of 0.73 V - a key advantage over silicon rectifiers, enabling higher efficiency in thermally demanding applications.
How is the pin configuration arranged in the TO-220AB package of the MBR3045CT?
The MBR3045CT uses a 3-pin TO-220AB package with pins labeled Anode 1, Common Cathode, and Anode 2 - physically arranged left-to-right when viewing the front (marked side) with leads down. Pin 2 is the electrically common cathode; Pins 1 and 3 are isolated anodes, enabling dual-output or parallel rectification topologies.
What packaging and ordering options are available for the MBR3045CT?
The MBR3045CT is supplied in TO-220AB package, packed 50 units per tube. Ordering codes include MBR3045CT (standard) and MBR3045CTH (AEC-Q101 qualified). Both versions comply with RoHS and halogen-free standards per IEC 61249-2-21, and feature matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002.
