Product details
Overview
MBR6045WT from Vishay is a center-tap dual Schottky rectifier in TO-247AC package, rated for 2 × 30 A average forward current per leg and 45 V maximum reverse voltage, with 0.55 V forward voltage drop at 30 A and 125 °C junction temperature-used in high-efficiency switching power supplies and freewheeling circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MBR6045WT datasheet, MBR6045WT pinout, MBR6045WT application, or MBR6045WT equivalent, key selection criteria include thermal resistance (1.0 °C/W per leg), surge capability (2900 A IFSM), low VF at elevated temperature, and center-tap cathode configuration for full-wave rectification without transformer center tap.
Technical Context
This device integrates two independent Schottky diode legs sharing a common cathode terminal, enabling full-wave center-tap rectification in AC/DC converters and synchronous buck secondary-side rectification. Its proprietary barrier technology supports reliable operation up to 150 °C TJ with low VF and moderate IR.
The TO-247AC package provides low thermal resistance (0.5 °C/W junction-to-case per package) and mechanical robustness via high-purity epoxy encapsulation and guard ring structure-critical for industrial-grade power conversion under thermal cycling and vibration stress.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IF(AV) per leg | 30 A at TC = 122 °C, 50 % duty cycle - enables compact heatsink design in high-current DC-DC outputs |
| VRRM | 45 V - suitable for 36 V nominal bus systems with margin for transients |
| VF @ 30 A, 125 °C | 0.55 V - reduces conduction loss by ~30 % vs. standard silicon rectifiers at same current |
| RthJC per leg | 1.0 °C/W - allows direct mounting to heatsink with predictable thermal rise under continuous load |
| IFSM (5 µs) | 2900 A - withstands high-energy inductive turn-off surges in motor drives and SMPS startup |
| CT @ 5 V | 1400 pF - limits high-frequency switching noise and EMI in >100 kHz converters |
| dV/dt | 10,000 V/µs - prevents false triggering during fast voltage transients in hard-switched topologies |

Applications
| Switching Power Supplies | Motor Drive Freewheeling |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 1–3 kW telecom and server PSUs operating at 100–500 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-leg Schottky rectifier providing full-wave output with shared cathode return path. Use Value: 0.55 V VF at 125 °C reduces conduction loss by 1.65 W per leg vs. 0.7 V alternatives, improving efficiency by 0.4–0.6 % at full load. | Use Scenario: Bidirectional freewheeling path in 3-phase IGBT inverters for HVAC compressors and industrial pumps. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Center-tap Schottky clamp absorbing inductive kickback during IGBT turn-off. Use Value: 2900 A non-repetitive surge rating handles peak currents from 15–30 kW motor windings without derating. |
| Reverse Battery Protection | DC-DC Converter Output Stage |
Use Scenario: Polarity protection in 24/48 V vehicle-mounted electronics and battery-powered test equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-VF series-blocking diode preventing reverse current flow during battery swap or fault conditions. Use Value: 0.62 V VF at 25 °C limits voltage drop to <1.25 V at 30 A, preserving system headroom better than MOSFET-based ideal diodes in cost-sensitive designs. | Use Scenario: Synchronous rectification replacement in isolated 48 V–12 V buck converters for datacom and PoE injectors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-anode Schottky delivering low-loss output rectification with single-cathode return to minimize ground bounce.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay MBR6045CT | Same die, identical electrical specs, but TO-220AB package with separate cathodes (not center-tap); RthJC = 2.0 °C/W per leg | Requires external cathode tie; unsuitable for true center-tap transformer interfaces | Select MBR6045CT only when board space constraints prohibit TO-247 or when discrete cathode routing is acceptable |
| ON Semiconductor MURB6045CT | 60 A total IF(AV), 45 V VRRM, TO-247 package, but dual anode/dual cathode (non-center-tap); VF = 0.72 V @ 30 A, 125 °C | Needs external parallel cathode connection; higher VF increases conduction loss by ~0.17 V per leg | Choose MURB6045CT only if center-tap topology is not required and higher thermal resistance (1.25 °C/W) is acceptable |
Compared with MBR6045WT, MBR6045CT offers lower cost and smaller footprint but sacrifices thermal performance and eliminates native center-tap functionality, while MURB6045CT provides similar packaging but lacks integrated cathode commonality-requiring additional PCB traces and increasing layout-induced losses.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the MBR6045WT?
The MBR6045WT is rated for continuous operation up to 150 °C junction temperature, validated under industrial-level qualification standards. This rating is enabled by Vishay's proprietary barrier technology and high-purity epoxy encapsulation. The device maintains specified VF and leakage performance within this range, making MBR6045WT suitable for sealed, convection-cooled environments where ambient temperatures exceed 85 °C.
Does the MBR6045WT have a center-tap configuration, and how is it implemented physically?
Yes, the MBR6045WT features a true center-tap configuration with two anodes (Terminals 1 and 3) and a shared cathode (Terminal 2), all housed in a single TO-247AC package. This eliminates external wiring between cathodes and reduces parasitic inductance. The internal die layout places both Schottky junctions on a common substrate with bonded cathode metallization-confirmed in Vishay Document Number 93455, Figure 1 and pinout diagram on page 2.
What is the forward voltage drop of the MBR6045WT at 30 A and 125 °C?
The MBR6045WT exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 0.55 V per leg at 30 A and 125 °C junction temperature, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table (Document Number 93455, page 2). This value is measured under rectangular waveform conditions and reflects the device's optimized low-VF barrier design-critical for minimizing conduction losses in high-temperature power stages.
Can the MBR6045WT be used in reverse battery protection circuits?
Yes, the MBR6045WT is commonly deployed in reverse battery protection for 24 V and 48 V systems due to its low 0.62 V forward voltage at 25 °C and 30 A, which preserves system voltage headroom. Its 45 V VR rating provides margin against load dump transients, and the TO-247AC package ensures robust thermal handling during sustained fault currents-making MBR6045WT a proven choice in automotive and industrial backup power modules.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case for the MBR6045WT?
The MBR6045WT has a maximum thermal resistance of 1.0 °C/W per leg (junction-to-case), and 0.5 °C/W for the entire package, as stated in the Thermal-Mechanical Specifications section (Document Number 93455, page 2). This low RthJC enables efficient heat transfer to external heatsinks and supports continuous 30 A per leg operation at case temperatures up to 122 °C-verified in Figure 5 of the datasheet.
