Product details
Overview
MBR735-E3/45 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a 45 V, 7.5 A average forward current Schottky barrier rectifier in TO-220AC package, featuring 0.57 V forward voltage at 7.5 A and 125 °C junction temperature, guardring for overvoltage protection, and high-frequency operation - used in DC/DC converters and polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MBR735-E3/45 datasheet, MBR735-E3/45 pinout, MBR735-E3/45 application, or MBR735-E3/45 equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage drop at rated current and temperature, peak surge capability, thermal resistance, reverse leakage at elevated temperature, and TO-220AC mechanical compatibility with heatsink mounting.
Technical Context
This device implements a single-die Schottky barrier structure optimized for low VF and fast switching, with guardring integration to enhance ruggedness against transient overvoltage events. Its 3.0 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance enables efficient heat transfer when mounted to a heatsink under continuous 7.5 A load.
The MBR735-E3/45 operates within a -65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and supports 150 A non-repetitive peak forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), making it suitable for high-efficiency, high-reliability power conversion stages where low conduction loss and fast recovery are critical.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STPS745E | Same 45 V VRRM, 7.5 A IF(AV), but VF = 0.62 V @ 7.5 A, 125 °C; RθJC = 3.5 °C/W | Higher conduction loss and slightly reduced thermal performance limit use in space-constrained 7.5 A designs | Select when STMicroelectronics supply chain alignment is required and 50 mV higher VF is acceptable |
| ON Semi MBR745G | Identical VRRM, IF(AV), and VF spec; differs in RoHS compliance level (MIL-STD-750 test method vs. JESD201 class 1A whisker test) | No functional difference in circuit operation; qualification divergence affects long-term reliability validation in aerospace-grade programs | Prefer for commercial/industrial use where JESD201 class 1A whisker testing is not mandated |
Compared with STPS745E and MBR745G, the MBR735-E3/45 offers the lowest verified VF (0.57 V) at high temperature and best thermal resistance (3.0 °C/W), giving it an advantage in thermally dense 7.5 A power stages where efficiency and junction temperature margin are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the MBR735-E3/45?
The MBR735-E3/45 has a maximum operating junction temperature of +150 °C, validated across its full rated current range and supported by its 3.0 °C/W thermal resistance. This rating allows sustained 7.5 A operation in industrial environments with adequate heatsinking, and is confirmed in Vishay Document Number 88680, Revision 26-Mar-2026. The MBR735-E3/45 must be operated within this limit to maintain reliability and avoid parametric shift.
Does the MBR735-E3/45 have a guardring, and what function does it serve?
Yes, the MBR735-E3/45 integrates a guardring structure explicitly described in its Vishay datasheet (Document 88680) to improve ruggedness against transient overvoltage events. This feature suppresses edge breakdown during voltage surges, enabling reliable operation in switching power supplies subject to line transients or inductive kickback. The guardring is a built-in design element of the MBR735-E3/45 die, not an external component.
What is the forward voltage drop of the MBR735-E3/45 at 7.5 A and 125 °C?
The MBR735-E3/45 exhibits a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 0.57 V at IF = 7.5 A and TJ = 125 °C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of Vishay Document Number 88680. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (300 µs, 1 % duty cycle) and represents the actual conduction loss under realistic high-temperature operating conditions. The MBR735-E3/45 achieves this low VF via optimized Schottky barrier metallization.
Is the MBR735-E3/45 RoHS-compliant, and what does the "E3" suffix indicate?
Yes, the MBR735-E3/45 is RoHS-compliant, as confirmed by its "E3" suffix in the ordering code. Per Vishay documentation, "Base P/N-E3" denotes commercial-grade, RoHS-compliant construction with matte tin-plated leads and JESD201 Class 1A whisker testing. The MBR735-E3/45 meets UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements and complies with material categorization per www.vishay.com/doc?99912.
What is the peak forward surge current rating for the MBR735-E3/45?
The MBR735-E3/45 is rated for a peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 150 A for an 8.3 ms single half-sine wave, as defined in the Maximum Ratings table of Vishay Document 88680. This rating applies at TC = 25 °C and reflects the device's ability to survive short-duration inrush or fault currents without bond wire fusing or junction damage. The MBR735-E3/45 maintains this rating across its full operating temperature range.
