Product details
Overview
MBRB1635HE3_B/P 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 is optimized for DC/DC converters and polarity protection in automotive-grade power systems.
For engineers reviewing the MBRB1635HE3_B/P datasheet, MBRB1635HE3_B/P pinout, MBRB1635HE3_B/P application, or MBRB1635HE3_B/P equivalent, key selection criteria include junction-to-case thermal resistance (1.5 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification status, guardring-enabled overvoltage protection, and compatibility with lead-free reflow up to 245 °C per J-STD-020.
Technical Context
This device implements a single-die Schottky barrier structure with integrated guardring for enhanced transient voltage robustness. Its low VF and fast recovery enable high-efficiency rectification in switching-mode topologies operating above 100 kHz.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJC = 1.5 °C/W, enabling high-power dissipation when mounted on a heatsink. The D2PAK package supports direct thermal coupling via the exposed cathode tab (Pin 2/K), and its MSL Level 1 rating confirms suitability for standard surface-mount reflow processes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 35 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking capability; defines safe operating range in buck or flyback secondary-side rectification. |
| IF(AV) | 16 A at TC = 125 °C - Continuous DC output current handling under heatsink-cooled conditions. |
| VF | 0.57 V at IF = 16 A, TC = 125 °C - Directly reduces conduction loss and improves system efficiency in high-current DC/DC stages. |
| IFSM | 150 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - Withstands inrush and fault currents without degradation in power-up or short-circuit events. |
| RθJC | 1.5 °C/W - Enables precise thermal design: 24 W dissipation yields ≤36 °C junction-to-case rise at steady state. |
| TJ max. | 150 °C - Specifies absolute maximum junction temperature; supports operation in under-hood automotive environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: D2PAK (TO-263AB), surface-mount, thermally enhanced with exposed cathode tab (Pin 2/K) for heatsink attachment. Mold compound meets UL 94 V-0; matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 22-B102.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Input terminal for forward current flow; connects to switching node or input rail in buck/flyback configurations. |
| Pin 2 / K | Cathode / Heatsink Pad | Output terminal and primary thermal path; must be soldered to copper pour or heatsink for RθJC = 1.5 °C/W performance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STPS1635CG-TR | Same 35 V VRRM, 16 A IF(AV), but TO-220AC package; RθJC = 2.5 °C/W; no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Limited to commercial/industrial use; unsuitable for automotive due to qualification gap and higher thermal resistance. | Select only if AEC-Q101 is not required and board layout accommodates through-hole mounting. |
| ON Semi MBR1635CT | Dual common-cathode configuration in TO-220AB; each diode rated 16 A/35 V; no guardring; RθJC = 2.0 °C/W. | Not pin-compatible; dual-diode topology requires circuit redesign; lacks automotive qualification and overvoltage hardening. | Consider only for cost-sensitive dual-output designs where guardring and AEC-Q101 are non-critical. |
Compared with STPS1635CG-TR and MBR1635CT, the MBRB1635HE3_B/P uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, D2PAK thermal performance (RθJC = 1.5 °C/W), and guardring-enhanced ruggedness-making it the only option qualified for under-hood automotive rectification without derating or additional clamping.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for MBRB1635HE3_B/P?
The MBRB1635HE3_B/P has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +150 °C, as specified in the Vishay datasheet. This rating enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial settings. Derating curves confirm sustained 16 A average current capability at case temperatures up to 125 °C. Thermal design must maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C using the documented RθJC = 1.5 °C/W and appropriate heatsinking. The MBRB1635HE3_B/P must not exceed this limit during continuous or pulsed operation.
Is MBRB1635HE3_B/P AEC-Q101 qualified?
Yes, MBRB1635HE3_B/P is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HM3" and documentation in the MBRB16xx datasheet. This qualification covers stress tests including HTGB, HTRB, TCT, and ESD per AEC-Q101 Rev D. The part is intended for automotive applications such as engine control, ADAS power supplies, and body electronics. Commercial-grade variants (e.g., MBRB1635-M3) lack this qualification. Always verify the full part number suffix matches HM3 for automotive compliance. The MBRB1635HE3_B/P meets these requirements.
What is the forward voltage drop of MBRB1635HE3_B/P at rated current and temperature?
The MBRB1635HE3_B/P exhibits a maximum instantaneous forward voltage (VF) of 0.57 V at IF = 16 A and TC = 125 °C, per the Vishay datasheet's electrical characteristics table. At 25 °C, VF is 0.63 V under the same current. This low VF directly reduces conduction losses in high-current paths. The value is measured under pulsed conditions (300 μs, 1 % duty cycle) to avoid self-heating effects. Designers should use the 125 °C value for worst-case thermal analysis. The MBRB1635HE3_B/P maintains this performance across its qualified temperature range.
What package type does MBRB1635HE3_B/P use, and how is thermal management implemented?
MBRB1635HE3_B/P uses the D2PAK (TO-263AB) surface-mount package with an exposed cathode pad (Pin 2/K) serving as both electrical terminal and primary thermal interface. Thermal resistance from junction to case (RθJC) is 1.5 °C/W when the cathode pad is soldered to ≥1 in² copper area or an external heatsink. The package meets MSL Level 1 and supports lead-free reflow up to 245 °C. Proper PCB layout-using multiple thermal vias and solid copper pour-is essential to achieve the rated RθJC. The MBRB1635HE3_B/P relies on this mechanical construction for thermal integrity.
Does MBRB1635HE3_B/P have built-in overvoltage protection?
Yes, MBRB1635HE3_B/P incorporates a guardring structure explicitly designed for overvoltage protection, as stated in the Vishay datasheet's FEATURES section. This guardring mitigates edge breakdown under high dv/dt transients and improves ruggedness against ISO 7637-2 load-dump pulses. It is not a clamp or TVS function, but a process-level enhancement to the Schottky junction geometry. This feature differentiates it from standard Schottky rectifiers and contributes to its AEC-Q101 qualification. The MBRB1635HE3_B/P leverages this for improved reliability in automotive power rails.
