Product details
Overview
MBRS1645H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 16A, 45V Schottky barrier surface-mount rectifier in TO-263AB (D2PAK) package, featuring low forward voltage (0.63 V at 16 A, 25°C), AEC-Q101 qualification, and 150 A surge capability. It serves as a freewheeling or reverse-battery protection diode in automotive DC/DC converters and low-voltage inverters.
For engineers reviewing the MBRS1645H datasheet, MBRS1645H pinout, MBRS1645H application, or MBRS1645H equivalent, key selection factors include its 45 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 1.5 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, 150°C max junction temperature, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for automotive-grade power designs.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses a single-die construction with guard ring overvoltage protection and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability. Its low VF and high IFSM support high-efficiency, high-current switching in constrained thermal environments.
Designed for surface-mount automated placement, it meets moisture sensitivity level 1 (J-STD-020) and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The TO-263AB package enables direct heatsinking via the exposed cathode tab, critical for sustained 16 A conduction.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VRRM | 45 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in reverse-biased applications like reverse battery protection |
| IF | 16 A - Continuous forward current rating; supports high-power DC/DC stages without forced air cooling |
| VF @ 16A, 25°C | 0.63 V - Low conduction loss enabling >92% efficiency in 12 V–24 V automotive converters |
| IFSM | 150 A - Non-repetitive surge rating; withstands load dump transients per ISO 7637-2 |
| RθJC | 1.5 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to case; allows ~24 W dissipation with 36°C rise at 100% duty cycle |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| IR @ 45 V, 25°C | 500 µA - Low leakage ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on vehicle modules |
Pinout & Package
TO-263AB (D2PAK) package with three terminals: anode (pin 1), cathode (exposed tab/pin 2), and cathode (pin 3). Cathode is electrically common across pins 2 and 3 and thermally connected to the large exposed metal pad for heatsinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward current input | Sole anode connection; must be routed with low-inductance trace for high-di/dt switching |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Forward current return / thermal path | Electrically and thermally tied to exposed tab; requires minimum 200 mm² copper pour for thermal management |
| Cathode (Pin 3) | Forward current return | Redundant cathode connection; improves current sharing and reduces bond wire stress during surge events |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including HTGB, TC, HTRB, and UHAST |
| Guard ring structure | Enhances edge termination robustness, preventing premature avalanche breakdown at 45 V VRRM |
| Moisture sensitivity level 1 | Zero bake requirement before reflow; compatible with standard SMT assembly lines without dry pack handling |
| Halogen-free (IEC 61249-2-21) | Meets automotive OEM environmental mandates; eliminates corrosive halogen gas emission during board repair or end-of-life processing |
| Matte tin plating (J-STD-002) | Ensures reliable solder wetting and intermetallic formation on OSP- or ENIG-finished PCBs |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for MBRS1645H?
The MBRS1645H has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of +150°C. This rating allows sustained operation in high-ambient environments such as engine compartments or near powertrain electronics. Derating curves in the official datasheet define allowable forward current versus case temperature, and thermal design must maintain junction temperature below this limit under worst-case load and ambient conditions. MBRS1645H achieves this via its 1.5 °C/W RθJC and TO-263AB thermal pad.
Is MBRS1645H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, MBRS1645H is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed accelerated stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing. This qualification confirms suitability for automotive power systems such as body control modules, lighting drivers, and DC/DC converters. MBRS1645H also complies with RoHS and halogen-free standards required by major OEMs.
What is the forward voltage drop of MBRS1645H at rated current?
At 16 A and 25°C junction temperature, MBRS1645H exhibits a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 0.63 V. At elevated temperature (125°C), VF drops to 0.57 V due to the negative temperature coefficient of Schottky diodes. This low VF directly reduces conduction losses-e.g., 10.1 W at 16 A-making MBRS1645H especially effective in high-efficiency 12 V–24 V automotive power supplies.
Does MBRS1645H have a guard ring structure?
Yes, MBRS1645H incorporates a guard ring for overvoltage protection. This structural feature improves edge termination robustness, suppressing premature avalanche breakdown at the silicon periphery under transient reverse bias. It contributes to stable 45 V VRRM performance and enhances long-term reliability in noisy automotive electrical systems where load dump or jump-start surges occur.
What packaging and reel quantity does MBRS1645H ship in?
MBRS1645H is supplied in TO-263AB (D2PAK) package and shipped in tape-and-reel format with 800 units per reel. The device marking code "MBRS1645" appears on the top surface, along with date and factory codes. Its moisture sensitivity level is rated at J-STD-020 Level 1, eliminating the need for baking prior to SMT reflow processing.
