Product details
Overview
MBR3045CT-Y from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 30A, 45V dual-die Schottky barrier rectifier in TO-220AB package, featuring 0.70V max forward voltage at 15A/25°C, 200A surge capability, and guard-ring overvoltage protection. It delivers low conduction loss and high efficiency in high-frequency DC–DC converters and switching power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MBR3045CT-Y datasheet, MBR3045CT-Y pinout, MBR3045CT-Y application, or MBR3045CT-Y equivalent, key selection criteria include its 45V VRRM, dual-common-cathode configuration, thermal resistance of 1.0°C/W (junction-to-case), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial-grade SMPS designs.
Technical Context
This device integrates two independent Schottky diodes in a single TO-220AB package with common cathode connection, enabling full-wave rectification or dual-channel output paths. Its guard ring structure enhances ruggedness against transient overvoltage events, while the 1.0°C/W RθJC supports sustained 30A operation under forced-air or heatsink-cooled conditions.
The MBR3045CT-Y operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and exhibits 200µA max reverse leakage at 25°C and 40mA at 125°C - critical for thermal stability in compact, high-density power stages where leakage-induced heating must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 45 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in 48V-input SMPS front-end rectification |
| IF | 30 A - Continuous average forward current per diode; enables high-power output without parallel devices |
| IFSM | 200 A - Non-repetitive surge rating (8.3ms half-sine); withstands inrush and fault transients in AC/DC adapters |
| VF @ 15A, 25°C | ≤0.70 V - Low forward drop reduces conduction loss and improves system efficiency above 90% in 12V/24V DC–DC stages |
| RθJC | 1.0 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; allows direct heatsink mounting with ≤30°C temperature rise at full load |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; supports operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial environments |
| IR @ 25°C | ≤200 µA - Reverse leakage per diode; minimizes standby power loss in always-on power rails |

| Pin 3 (Anode 2) | Anode of second Schottky diode | Input terminal for second rectification path; symmetrical to Pin 1 for balanced dual-channel use |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 45V VRRM, 30A IF, but TO-247 package; RθJC = 0.9°C/W; VF = 0.69V @ 15A | Larger footprint, higher cost; better thermal performance but requires different mounting hardware | Select when thermal margin is critical and PCB space permits TO-247 layout |
| ON Semiconductor MBR3045CT | Identical electrical specs and TO-220AB package; differs only in date code marking (no "-Y" suffix); RoHS compliant but not halogen-free | No functional difference in circuit operation; halogen-free requirement may drive MBR3045CT-Y preference in EU/automotive programs | Select MBR3045CT-Y if halogen-free compliance per IEC 61249-2-21 is mandatory |
Compared with VS-30CPH045 and MBR3045CT, the MBR3045CT-Y offers identical performance in a standard TO-220AB footprint with guaranteed halogen-free construction - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained industrial power supplies requiring full regulatory alignment.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the MBR3045CT-Y?
The MBR3045CT-Y has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table. This allows reliable operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments such as industrial motor drives and telecom power shelves. Derating curves confirm usable current capacity down to 15A at 125°C case temperature, ensuring design headroom for thermal transients.
Does the MBR3045CT-Y have a common-cathode or common-anode configuration?
The MBR3045CT-Y uses a dual-diode common-cathode configuration in TO-220AB package, with Pin 1 and Pin 3 as independent anodes and Pin 2 as the shared cathode terminal. This layout is confirmed in the mechanical outline and marking diagram, and enables full-wave rectification or dual-output DC–DC topologies without external wiring changes.
What is the forward voltage specification for MBR3045CT-Y at full rated current?
At 30A and 25°C junction temperature, the MBR3045CT-Y exhibits a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 0.82V per diode. At elevated temperature (125°C), VF drops to 0.73V due to Schottky's negative temperature coefficient - a key advantage for thermal stability in high-load conditions.
Is the MBR3045CT-Y halogen-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, the MBR3045CT-Y is both RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as explicitly stated in the FEATURES section. The molding compound contains no brominated flame retardants or chlorine-based additives, satisfying stringent environmental requirements for EU medical, industrial, and networking equipment.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RθJC) for MBR3045CT-Y?
The junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) for MBR3045CT-Y is 1.0°C/W, measured under standard test conditions per JEDEC JESD51-14. This value applies specifically to the TO-220AB package variant and enables accurate heatsink sizing - for example, a 2.0°C/W heatsink yields a total thermal resistance of 3.0°C/W, limiting junction rise to 90°C at 30A continuous load.
