Product details
Overview
MBRB1635HE3_B/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a Schottky barrier rectifier in D2PAK (TO-263AB) package, rated for 16 A average forward current, 35 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage, and 150 A peak surge current. It delivers low forward voltage drop (0.57 V at 16 A, 125 °C), high-frequency operation, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability in DC/DC converters and polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MBRB1635HE3_B/I datasheet, MBRB1635HE3_B/I pinout, MBRB1635HE3_B/I application, or MBRB1635HE3_B/I equivalent, key selection criteria include junction-to-case thermal resistance (1.5 °C/W), MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, matte tin-plated solderable terminals, and guardring-enabled overvoltage protection - all critical for high-efficiency, thermally constrained power designs.
Technical Context
This device is a single-die, planar Schottky barrier rectifier with integrated guardring structure to suppress edge breakdown and improve ruggedness under transient overvoltage conditions. Its low VF and fast switching enable high efficiency in low-voltage, high-frequency topologies such as synchronous buck converters and OR-ing circuits.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on thermally enhanced PCBs, the D2PAK package features an exposed heatsink tab (Pin 3) electrically connected to the cathode, supporting direct thermal coupling to copper planes. The device operates across -65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STPS1635CW | Same VRRM (35 V), IF(AV) (16 A), D2PAK package; VF = 0.55 V @ 16 A, 125 °C - slightly lower conduction loss | No AEC-Q101 qualification; commercial grade only | Select when automotive qualification is not required and lowest possible VF is prioritized |
| ON Semi MBR1635CT | Dual common-cathode configuration in TO-220AC; VF = 0.62 V @ 16 A, 125 °C; higher RθJC (2.5 °C/W) | Through-hole mounting; no exposed heatsink tab; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select for legacy through-hole designs or where dual-diode functionality is needed |
Compared with STPS1635CW and MBR1635CT, the MBRB1635HE3_B/I uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, MSL Level 1 handling, and optimized thermal performance in D2PAK - making it the preferred choice for automotive and high-reliability SMT power supplies where board space and thermal management are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for MBRB1635HE3_B/I?
The MBRB1635HE3_B/I has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150 °C, verified per Vishay's datasheet revision 01-Apr-2026. This rating allows sustained operation in under-hood automotive locations and sealed industrial enclosures. Derating curves confirm 16 A average forward current is maintainable up to TC = 125 °C, provided thermal design achieves ≤ 1.5 °C/W junction-to-case resistance. The MBRB1635HE3_B/I must not exceed this limit to ensure long-term reliability and AEC-Q101 compliance.
Is MBRB1635HE3_B/I pin-compatible with other D2PAK Schottky rectifiers?
Yes, the MBRB1635HE3_B/I uses the standard D2PAK (TO-263AB) footprint with Pin 1 (anode), Pin 2 (cathode), and Pin 3 (exposed cathode heatsink tab), matching industry-standard land patterns. However, electrical compatibility depends on VRRM, IF(AV), and thermal characteristics - for example, MBRB1645HE3_B/I shares the same pinout but has 45 V VRRM. Always verify forward voltage, surge rating, and qualification status before substitution. The MBRB1635HE3_B/I is not a drop-in replacement for non-AEC-Q101 variants in automotive designs.
Does MBRB1635HE3_B/I require special handling during PCB assembly?
No special handling is required: the MBRB1635HE3_B/I is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life at ≤ 30 °C/60 % RH and can be placed directly into reflow without baking. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards. Reflow profile must respect peak temperature ≤ 245 °C (LF maximum) and avoid thermal shock. The MBRB1635HE3_B/I heatsink tab must be fully soldered to a thermally robust copper area to achieve specified RθJC.
What does the "HE3_B/I" suffix indicate in MBRB1635HE3_B/I?
The "HE3_B/I" suffix denotes Vishay's packaging and qualification coding: "HE3" indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481 standard; "B" specifies the D2PAK (TO-263AB) package variant; and "I" identifies the reel quantity (800 units/reel). This full part number confirms AEC-Q101 qualification (via HM3 base code), RoHS-compliance, halogen-free construction, and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The MBRB1635HE3_B/I is distinct from commercial-grade MBRB1635-M3/I variants lacking automotive qualification.
How does the guardring feature improve reliability of MBRB1635HE3_B/I?
The guardring in the MBRB1635HE3_B/I is a diffused p-type region surrounding the main Schottky junction, which controls electric field distribution at the die edge. This prevents premature avalanche breakdown under high dV/dt transients or reverse-biased surge conditions - a common failure mode in unguarded Schottky diodes. As a result, the MBRB1635HE3_B/I maintains stable VRRM performance without derating and sustains 150 A IFSM capability even after repeated stress. This structural enhancement is validated in AEC-Q101 testing and directly contributes to its use in mission-critical automotive power rails.
