Product details
Overview
MBRB3045CT-E3/45 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a dual common-cathode Schottky rectifier in D2PAK (TO-263AB) package, rated for 45 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 30 A total average forward current (15 A per diode), and 200 A peak forward surge current. It delivers low 0.60 V forward voltage at 20 A and 125 °C, enabling high-efficiency operation in DC/DC converters and switching power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MBRB3045CT-E3/45 datasheet, MBRB3045CT-E3/45 pinout, MBRB3045CT-E3/45 application, or MBRB3045CT-E3/45 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 1.5 °C/W thermal resistance per diode, 10,000 V/μs dV/dt rating, and suitability for automotive-grade freewheeling and polarity protection circuits requiring robust surge handling and low conduction loss.
Technical Context
This dual-diode Schottky rectifier integrates two independent anodes sharing a common cathode terminal, supporting synchronous rectification and bidirectional blocking in half-bridge or dual-output topologies. Its guardring structure provides overvoltage protection, while the low VF and high IFSM enable efficient energy recovery in high-frequency switching applications up to several hundred kHz.
The device operates across –65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (245 °C peak reflow). Its D2PAK package features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, and passes JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STPS3045CGY | Same 45 V VRRM, 30 A IF(AV), but TO-220AC package; RTJC = 2.0 °C/W (vs. 1.5 °C/W) | Limited to lower-power industrial SMPS due to higher thermal resistance; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when cost-sensitive non-automotive designs prioritize tube packaging over thermal performance |
| ON Semi MBR3045CT | Identical electrical specs but TO-220AB package; no AEC-Q101 qualification; VF = 0.72 V @ 30 A, 125 °C (vs. 0.72 V @ same condition for MBRB3045CT) | Suitable for commercial-grade AC/DC adapters; lacks automotive reliability validation and D2PAK thermal advantage | Choose for legacy through-hole assembly or where board space allows larger footprint and higher thermal overhead |
Compared with STPS3045CGY and MBR3045CT, the MBRB3045CT-E3/45 offers superior thermal performance (1.5 °C/W), automotive qualification, and surface-mount compatibility-critical for high-density, high-reliability power conversion where junction temperature control and supply chain assurance are design priorities.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for MBRB3045CT-E3/45?
The MBRB3045CT-E3/45 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +150 °C, verified per Vishay's datasheet revision 17-Nov-17. This rating enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial enclosures. Derating begins above TC = 100 °C, and the device maintains full 30 A IF(AV) capability only when case temperature remains ≤100 °C. Thermal design must ensure RTJC × Pdiss + TC ≤ 150 °C.
Is MBRB3045CT-E3/45 pin-compatible with MBR3045CT?
No, MBRB3045CT-E3/45 is not pin-compatible with MBR3045CT. The MBRB3045CT-E3/45 uses a D2PAK (TO-263AB) surface-mount package with three terminals (anode–cathode–anode), while MBR3045CT uses a TO-220AB through-hole package with identical pin numbering but different mechanical layout and thermal interface. PCB redesign is required to migrate between them.
Does MBRB3045CT-E3/45 meet AEC-Q101 requirements?
Yes, MBRB3045CT-E3/45 is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88677, Revision: 17-Nov-17). It undergoes stress testing including HTGB, HTRB, TCT, and ESD per AEC-Q101 Rev D, making it suitable for automotive powertrain and body electronics applications where reliability under thermal and mechanical stress is critical.
What is the typical forward voltage drop of MBRB3045CT-E3/45 at 30 A and 25 °C?
The typical forward voltage drop of MBRB3045CT-E3/45 is 0.76 V at 30 A and 25 °C, per the Electrical Characteristics table in the Vishay datasheet. At elevated temperature (125 °C), VF drops to 0.72 V due to Schottky barrier behavior-this reduction improves thermal stability in high-load conditions compared to silicon diodes.
Can MBRB3045CT-E3/45 be used in freewheeling applications with inductive loads?
Yes, MBRB3045CT-E3/45 is specifically designed for freewheeling applications with inductive loads. Its 200 A IFSM rating supports high-energy flyback currents, and its 10,000 V/μs dV/dt capability prevents spurious turn-on during rapid voltage transients. The guardring structure further enhances ruggedness against voltage overshoot in relay or solenoid drive circuits.
