Product details
Overview
MBRS2045CT-Y from Taiwan Semiconductor is a dual-die surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in TO-263AB (D2PAK) package, rated for 20 A average forward current, 45 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, and 150 A non-repetitive surge current. It delivers low forward voltage drop (0.70 V max at 10 A, 25°C), high thermal efficiency (RθJC = 1.5 °C/W), and operates up to +150°C junction temperature - ideal for compact, high-efficiency DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the MBRS2045CT-Y datasheet, MBRS2045CT-Y pinout, MBRS2045CT-Y application, or MBRS2045CT-Y equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-common-cathode configuration, 1.5 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, 0.70 V forward voltage at 10 A, 150 A IFSM, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial power supply design.
Technical Context
This dual-die Schottky rectifier integrates two independent anodes sharing a common cathode terminal, enabling full-wave rectification or parallel diode operation without external interconnects. Its guard ring structure enhances overvoltage ruggedness, while the matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance standards.
The device is optimized for high-frequency switching applications with 10,000 V/μs critical dv/dt rating and low junction capacitance - confirmed by typical curves across 1–100 MHz. Thermal derating begins at 25°C case temperature, maintaining 20 A conduction capability up to ~85°C case temp per the forward current derating curve.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-20CPH045 | Same TO-263AB package, 20 A/45 V rating, but higher VF (0.75 V typ @ 10 A) and RθJC = 1.7 °C/W | Slightly lower efficiency and higher thermal rise in high-power density designs | Acceptable where marginal efficiency loss is tolerable and existing layout uses same footprint |
| ON Semiconductor MBR2045CT | Identical electrical specs and TO-263AB package; differs in marking, date code format, and JEDEC qualification scope | No functional or layout impact; validated in same automotive-grade reference designs | Drop-in alternative with identical thermal and electrical behavior - suitable for BOM flexibility and second-source assurance |

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of MBRS2045CT-Y?
The MBRS2045CT-Y uses a 3-pin TO-263AB (D2PAK) package with Pin 1 = Anode 1, Pin 2 = Anode 2, and Pin 3 = Common Cathode. The exposed metal tab is electrically and thermally connected to Pin 3. This dual-anode/common-cathode arrangement supports full-wave rectification without external interconnects and is confirmed in the official TSC package outline drawing and marking diagram for MBRS2045CT-Y.
Is MBRS2045CT-Y RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, MBRS2045CT-Y is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. This is explicitly stated in the "FEATURES" section of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet revision E2201. The device uses matte tin-plated leads and UL 94V-0 molding compound, meeting environmental and safety requirements for global industrial and consumer power supply designs.
What is the maximum junction temperature for MBRS2045CT-Y?
The maximum junction temperature for MBRS2045CT-Y is +150°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating applies under steady-state conditions with proper thermal management. The device maintains rated 20 A forward current capability up to approximately 85°C case temperature, per the Forward Current Derating Curve in the MBRS2045CT-Y datasheet.
Does MBRS2045CT-Y have surge current capability?
Yes, MBRS2045CT-Y supports a peak non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) of 150 A for an 8.3 ms single half-sine wave, as defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This capability enables robust handling of startup inrush, short-duration load transients, and fault conditions in SMPS and DC/DC converter applications without degradation.
How does the guard ring feature benefit MBRS2045CT-Y in real-world use?
The guard ring in MBRS2045CT-Y improves edge termination ruggedness, enhancing resistance to localized avalanche and voltage-induced failure during transient overvoltage events. In practice, this extends operational life in applications like offline adapters and industrial power supplies exposed to line surges or inductive kickback, reducing field failure rates without requiring additional external protection components.
