Product details
Overview
MBRS1645 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 16A, 45V Schottky barrier surface-mount rectifier in TO-263AB (D2PAK) package, optimized for high-efficiency DC/DC conversion with low forward voltage (0.63 V at 16 A, 25°C) and high surge capability (150 A IFSM). It serves as the primary output rectifier in compact switching power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MBRS1645 datasheet, MBRS1645 pinout, MBRS1645 application, or MBRS1645 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 45 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 1.5 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, 150°C maximum junction temperature, and compatibility with automated SMT placement per J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Technical Context
The MBRS1645 employs a single-die Schottky structure with guard ring overvoltage protection, enabling fast recovery and minimal switching loss. Its low VF and high IFSM support high-frequency operation in SMPS topologies where conduction efficiency and thermal robustness are critical.
Designed for surface-mount assembly, it features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The TO-263AB package provides enhanced thermal dissipation versus smaller SMD packages while maintaining compatibility with standard D2PAK footprints.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the MBRS1645?
The MBRS1645 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This rating enables reliable operation in thermally demanding applications such as enclosed industrial power supplies and high-density USB-C PD modules where ambient temperatures exceed 70°C. Derating curves confirm usable current capacity down to 10 A at 125°C case temperature.
Does the MBRS1645 have a guard ring structure, and what is its function?
Yes, the MBRS1645 incorporates a guard ring structure explicitly documented in its features list. This design element prevents premature edge breakdown under transient overvoltage conditions, improving ruggedness in applications subject to line surges or inductive kickback. The guard ring enhances long-term reliability in SMPS and adapter designs where voltage transients exceed nominal VRRM during fault events.
What is the forward voltage of the MBRS1645 at 16 A and 125°C?
The MBRS1645 exhibits a typical forward voltage of 0.57 V at 16 A and 125°C junction temperature, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. This value reflects reduced series resistance at elevated temperature and confirms stable conduction performance across the full industrial operating range-critical for maintaining efficiency in high-ambient environments without thermal runaway.
Is the MBRS1645 RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, the MBRS1645 is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as confirmed in the FEATURES section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. These compliance statements apply directly to the MBRS1645 ordering variant and are verified through material declarations and third-party testing-ensuring suitability for export-controlled and environmentally regulated end equipment.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of the MBRS1645, and does it require baking before reflow?
The MBRS1645 has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it is not moisture-sensitive and does not require dry-packaging or pre-reflow baking. This eliminates handling complexity in SMT lines and supports uninterrupted high-volume production-particularly advantageous for contract manufacturers building consumer power adapters and telecom power supplies.
