Product details
Overview
MBRB1045HE3_B/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a Schottky barrier rectifier in D2PAK (TO-263AB) package, rated for 10 A average forward current, 45 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, and 150 A surge capability at 8.3 ms. It delivers low forward voltage drop (0.70 V at 10 A, 125 °C), high-frequency operation, and is RoHS-compliant with halogen-free construction.
For engineers reviewing the MBRB1045HE3_B/I datasheet, MBRB1045HE3_B/I pinout, MBRB1045HE3_B/I application, or MBRB1045HE3_B/I equivalent, key selection criteria include thermal resistance (2.0 °C/W junction-to-case), AEC-Q101 qualification status, TO-263AB mounting compatibility, and polarity-marked terminal layout for DC/DC converter freewheeling paths.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-diode unidirectional power rectifier optimized for low-loss switching-mode power supply outputs. Its Schottky architecture enables fast recovery (no minority-carrier storage), minimal reverse recovery charge, and stable performance up to 10,000 V/μs voltage slew rate.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on thermally enhanced PCBs, the D2PAK package supports direct heatsinking via the exposed cathode tab (Pin 3/K). The device maintains 0.57 V forward voltage at 10 A and 25 °C, with junction temperature rated from –65 °C to +150 °C and storage up to +175 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IF(AV) | 10 A - continuous DC output current capability at TC = 25 °C with adequate heatsinking |
| VRRM | 45 V - maximum allowable reverse blocking voltage without breakdown |
| IFSM | 150 A - non-repetitive surge current tolerance for 8.3 ms half-sine waveform |
| VF @ 10 A, 125 °C | 0.70 V - forward voltage under worst-case thermal operating condition, defining conduction loss |
| RθJC | 2.0 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to case, critical for heatsink sizing in high-power layouts |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature limit, constraining ambient and power dissipation design margins |
| dV/dt | 10,000 V/μs - minimum voltage transient immunity before unintended turn-on occurs |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STPS1045CGY | Same 10 A / 45 V rating, TO-263AB package, VF = 0.72 V @ 10 A, 125 °C; RθJC = 2.5 °C/W | Slightly higher thermal resistance limits power density in compact layouts; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal margin or automotive qualification needs |
| ON Semi SB1040 | 10 A / 40 V rating, TO-263AB, VF = 0.69 V @ 10 A, 125 °C; VRRM 5 V lower than MBRB1045HE3_B/I | Not suitable for 45 V-rated systems or ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a environments due to reduced blocking margin | Choose only for 36 V nominal input systems where 40 V VRRM provides sufficient safety margin |
Compared with STPS1045CGY and SB1040, MBRB1045HE3_B/I offers superior thermal performance (2.0 vs. 2.5 °C/W), tighter VRRM margin for automotive transients, and halogen-free compliance - making it preferred for space-constrained, thermally demanding, or environmentally regulated designs.

FAQ
What is the package type and mounting configuration of MBRB1045HE3_B/I?
MBRB1045HE3_B/I uses the D2PAK (TO-263AB) surface-mount package with an exposed cathode tab (Pin 3/K) that serves as both the electrical cathode connection and primary thermal path. It is designed for soldering onto thermally enhanced PCB copper areas, not mechanical screw-mounting. The device has three terminals: Pin 1 (anode), Pin 2 (cathode), and Pin 3/K (cathode tab), with polarity marked on the top surface per Vishay's standard marking convention.
Is MBRB1045HE3_B/I AEC-Q101 qualified?
MBRB1045HE3_B/I is not AEC-Q101 qualified; that qualification applies only to the HM3-suffixed variant (e.g., MBRB1045HM3/I). The "HE3_B/I" suffix indicates RoHS-compliant, halogen-free commercial-grade construction with tape-and-reel packaging (I = reel), but without automotive stress testing. For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q101, the HM3 version must be specified instead of MBRB1045HE3_B/I.
What is the maximum junction temperature and thermal resistance of MBRB1045HE3_B/I?
MBRB1045HE3_B/I has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +150 °C and a typical thermal resistance from junction to case (RθJC) of 2.0 °C/W. This value assumes proper soldering of the exposed cathode tab to a minimum 1.0 cm² copper area with ≥2 oz. thickness. Exceeding TJ max. risks parametric shift or permanent failure; derating curves in the Vishay datasheet (Fig. 1) must be applied for ambient temperatures above 25 °C.
How does the forward voltage of MBRB1045HE3_B/I compare at different temperatures and currents?
MBRB1045HE3_B/I exhibits VF = 0.57 V at 10 A and 25 °C, rising to 0.70 V at 10 A and 125 °C. At 20 A, VF reaches 0.72 V (125 °C) and 0.84 V (25 °C). These values reflect its Schottky barrier physics - lower VF than silicon diodes but with positive temperature coefficient. Designers must use the 125 °C data for worst-case loss calculation in thermally constrained systems.
Can MBRB1045HE3_B/I replace TO-220AC-packaged MBR1045-E3/45 in existing designs?
No - MBRB1045HE3_B/I cannot directly replace TO-220AC-packaged MBR1045-E3/45 without PCB layout revision. Although both share identical electrical ratings (10 A, 45 V), they differ in package (D2PAK vs. TO-220AC), pinout (3-terminal SMD vs. 2-pin through-hole), thermal interface (cathode tab vs. insulated case), and mounting method. Interchange requires redesign of footprint, stencil, and thermal copper layout - it is not a drop-in replacement.
