Product details
Overview
MBR4030PT from Diodes Incorporated is a 40A, 30V Schottky barrier rectifier in TO-3P package, featuring low forward voltage drop (0.70 V @ 20A, 25°C), high surge capability (400 A, 8.3 ms), and thermal resistance of 1.4 °C/W - used in low-voltage, high-frequency inverters and polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MBR4030PT datasheet, MBR4030PT pinout, MBR4030PT application, or MBR4030PT equivalent, key selection criteria include peak repetitive reverse voltage (30 V), average rectified output current at 125°C (40 A), forward voltage at elevated temperature (0.60 V @ 20A, 125°C), junction-to-case thermal resistance, and RoHS-compliant bright tin-plated leads.
Technical Context
This device employs Schottky barrier chip construction with integrated guard ring for transient protection, enabling fast switching and minimal reverse recovery loss. Its low VF and high IO support high-efficiency power conversion in DC-DC stages and freewheeling paths.
Rated for operation from –65°C to +150°C, it delivers stable performance under high thermal stress when mounted on heatsinks. The 1100 pF typical junction capacitance and 10,000 V/s dV/dt rating suit high-frequency inverter and SMPS applications where capacitive loading and rapid voltage transients are present.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 30 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets safe operating limit in polarity protection and clamp circuits. |
| IO @ TC = 125°C | 40 A - Continuous average forward current at case temperature of 125°C; defines usable DC output capacity with heatsink. |
| VFM @ 20A, 25°C | 0.70 V - Forward voltage drop at nominal load and room temperature; directly determines conduction loss (14 W at 20 A). |
| IFSM (8.3 ms) | 400 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current; supports inrush tolerance in motor drives and UPS systems. |
| RJC | 1.4 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables thermal design with known heatsink interface conditions. |
| CT @ 1 MHz, 4 V | 1100 pF - Junction capacitance; impacts high-frequency switching noise and EMI filter sizing in inverters. |
| dV/dt | 10,000 V/s - Voltage slew rate immunity; ensures stability during fast commutation in half-bridge topologies. |
Pinout & Package
TO-3P package: isolated metal tab (cathode), three leads - anode (center), cathode (outer two leads tied internally). Mounting via center tab requires electrically insulating thermal interface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (center lead) | Input current entry point | Connected to source-side of rectification path; carries full load current into device. |
| Cathode (outer leads, internally joined) | Output current exit point | Electrically common node delivering rectified output; bonded to metal tab for thermal conduction. |
| Metal tab (cathode-connected) | Thermal & electrical terminal | Serves as primary heat path to heatsink; must be electrically isolated unless system ground reference permits. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Schottky barrier with guard ring | Enhances transient immunity without external TVS; reduces failure risk in inductive load switching. |
| Low VF at 125°C (0.60 V) | Maintains efficiency under thermal stress - critical for enclosed industrial power supplies. |
| RoHS-compliant bright tin plating | Ensures reliable solderability per MIL-STD-202 Method 208; eliminates lead-free process compatibility concerns. |
| UL 94V-0 molded plastic case | Provides flame-retardant mechanical housing suitable for safety-certified end equipment. |
| 1.4 °C/W RJC | Enables predictable thermal design with standard heatsink mounting pressure and thermal paste. |

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-40CPQ030 | Same 30 V VRRM, 40 A IO, but TO-247AC package; RJC = 1.25 °C/W; VF = 0.67 V @ 20A, 25°C. | Lower thermal resistance suits higher ambient environments; TO-247AC footprint differs from TO-3P mounting holes. | Select when thermal budget is tighter and board layout allows TO-247AC mechanical revision. |
| ON Semiconductor MBR4030CT | 30 V VRRM, 40 A IO, TO-220AB package; VF = 0.72 V @ 20A, 25°C; RJC = 1.7 °C/W. | Higher VF and thermal resistance; intended for lower-power density designs with forced air cooling. | Select only if TO-220AB footprint is fixed and 0.02 V higher VF is acceptable in efficiency budget. |
Compared with VS-40CPQ030 and MBR4030CT, the MBR4030PT offers superior thermal interface via TO-3P metal tab while balancing VF and surge robustness - optimal for conduction-limited, heatsink-mounted industrial rectification where mechanical fit and transient resilience are prioritized.

FAQ
Is MBR4030PT still in active production?
No - Diodes Incorporated has officially discontinued the MBR4030PT (documented as "OBSOLETE – PART DISCONTINUED" in DS23019 Rev. 9-4, July 2015). Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory with full traceability and provides lifecycle coordination support for ongoing production programs.
What is the correct mounting orientation for thermal performance?
The TO-3P metal tab is cathode-connected and serves as the primary thermal path. It must be mounted flat against a heatsink using thermally conductive, electrically insulating material (e.g., mica washer + thermal grease) unless system grounding allows direct metal-to-metal contact.
How does the guard ring improve reliability in inductive switching?
The integrated guard ring prevents edge breakdown during voltage transients by shaping the electric field at the silicon periphery. This suppresses localized avalanche and delays thermal runaway during repetitive 400 A surges - verified in JEDEC-standard 8.3 ms half-sine testing.
Can MBR4030PT replace MBR4040PT in a 40 V design?
No - MBR4030PT has a 30 V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM). Using it in a 40 V circuit risks catastrophic reverse breakdown. The 40 V rating of MBR4040PT is not interchangeable; minimum derating margin requires ≥20% over system peak reverse voltage.
