Product details
Overview
MBRS2545CT from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 25A, 45V dual-die Schottky barrier rectifier in TO-263AB (D2PAK) package, optimized for high-efficiency DC/DC conversion with low forward voltage (0.65 V at 12.5 A, 25°C) and high surge capability (200 A IFSM). It serves as the output rectifier in compact switching power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MBRS2545CT datasheet, MBRS2545CT pinout, MBRS2545CT application, or MBRS2545CT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 45 V VRRM rating, dual-common-cathode configuration, thermal resistance of 1°C/W (junction-to-case), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial and adapter designs.
Technical Context
This device integrates two independent Schottky diodes in a single TO-263AB surface-mount package with common cathode connection. Its low VF and fast recovery support high-frequency operation up to 20 kHz square-wave rated current (IFRM = 25 A), minimizing conduction losses in synchronous rectification topologies.
The junction temperature range spans −55°C to +150°C, and it features guard ring overvoltage protection plus JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Moisture sensitivity level is J-STD-020 Level 1, enabling standard reflow without baking.
Key Specifications

| IF | 25 A - Continuous forward current per diode; supports high-current outputs without forced air cooling |
| VF @ 12.5 A, 25°C | 0.65 V max - Low conduction loss enables >92% efficiency in 12 V output SMPS |
| IFSM | 200 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current; withstands startup inrush and transient load steps |
| RθJC | 1 °C/W - Enables direct heatsinking to PCB copper; allows 25 A operation at TJ ≤ 150°C with minimal thermal margin |
| IR @ 45 V, 25°C | 200 µA max - Low leakage preserves light-load efficiency and reduces standby power |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Rated junction temperature permits operation in enclosed, high-ambient environments |

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-MBR2545CT | Identical VRRM (45 V), IF (25 A), and TO-263AB package; VF = 0.67 V max at 12.5 A (slightly higher than MBRS2545CT's 0.65 V) | Same dual-common-cathode topology; used in identical SMPS and adapter roles | Select when dual-sourcing is required; verify layout compatibility due to minor die size variation |
| ON Semiconductor MBR2545CT | VRRM = 45 V, IF = 25 A, same package; VF = 0.68 V max at 12.5 A; RθJC = 1.2°C/W (vs. 1.0°C/W for MBRS2545CT) | Compatible in most 48 V-input adapters but may require larger copper area for thermal management | Prefer for legacy ON Semi design continuity; expect ~0.3°C/W higher junction rise under identical conditions |
Compared with VS-MBR2545CT and MBR2545CT, the MBRS2545CT offers the lowest specified VF (0.65 V) and best thermal resistance (1.0°C/W), making it optimal for thermally constrained, high-efficiency 45 V-class rectification where every millivolt and degree matters.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for MBRS2545CT?
The MBRS2545CT has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet Version N2103. This rating allows reliable operation in enclosed industrial enclosures or high-ambient environments when mounted on ≥2 oz copper with adequate thermal relief. Derating begins above 25°C ambient per the forward current derating curve in Figure 1.
Does MBRS2545CT support automated SMT placement?
Yes, MBRS2545CT is explicitly qualified for automated placement per its mechanical data sheet: it features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and carries J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity-eliminating bake requirements before reflow. Its TO-263AB outline is compatible with standard pick-and-place nozzles calibrated for D2PAK devices.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for MBRS2545CT at 125°C?
At rated reverse voltage (45 V) and junction temperature of 125°C, the MBRS2545CT exhibits a maximum reverse current (IR) of 15 mA per diode, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table (Note 2, PW = 30 ms pulse test). This value is critical for standby power budgeting in energy-efficient adapters and must be verified under actual thermal conditions during design validation.
Is MBRS2545CT halogen-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, MBRS2545CT is certified halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21 and RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU, as stated in the Features section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet Version N2103. The molding compound is UL 94V-0 rated, and terminal plating uses lead-free matte tin-fully aligned with environmental compliance requirements for commercial and industrial end equipment.
How is the pin configuration arranged in MBRS2545CT's TO-263AB package?
The MBRS2545CT uses a 3-pin TO-263AB (D2PAK) configuration: Pin 1 and Pin 2 are isolated anodes for the two internal Schottky dies, while Pin 3 is the common cathode terminal. Polarity is marked on the device body per the Marking Diagram in datasheet page 6. The exposed backside thermal pad is electrically connected to the cathode and must be soldered to a large copper pour for thermal performance.
