Product details
Overview
MBRS25H45CT from Taiwan Semiconductor is a dual-die Schottky barrier rectifier in TO-263AB (D2PAK) package, rated for 25 A average forward current, 45 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, and 150 A non-repetitive surge current; it delivers low forward voltage (0.70 V typ. at 12.5 A, 25°C) and operates up to 175°C junction temperature, targeting high-efficiency DC/DC converters and SMPS secondary-side rectification.
For engineers reviewing the MBRS25H45CT datasheet, MBRS25H45CT pinout, MBRS25H45CT application, or MBRS25H45CT equivalent, key selection criteria include thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.5°C/W), moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), RoHS/halogen-free compliance, and dual-die configuration enabling common-cathode parallel operation without external wiring.
Technical Context
The MBRS25H45CT integrates two independent Schottky diodes in a single TO-263AB (D2PAK) thermally optimized package with matte tin-plated leads. Its dual-die structure supports common-cathode configuration, enabling synchronous rectification in center-tapped or full-wave topologies without discrete interconnection.
Designed for high-frequency switching applications, it exhibits fast recovery (no stored charge), low forward voltage across operating temperature (0.60 V typ. at 12.5 A, 125°C), and robust dv/dt capability (10,000 V/µs), minimizing switching losses and EMI in compact power supplies.

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 | Same 25 A/45 V rating, but RθJC = 2.0°C/W; VF = 0.72 V max at 25 A/25°C | Higher thermal resistance requires larger heatsink area; identical MSL 1 and TO-263AB footprint | Preferred when lower forward voltage at room temperature is prioritized over worst-case thermal performance |
| ON Semiconductor MBR2545CT | Identical electrical specs and TO-263AB package; IR = 25 mA max at 45 V/125°C (vs. 15 mA for MBRS25H45CT) | Slightly higher leakage increases standby power in energy-sensitive applications (e.g., IoT gateways) | Valid alternative where leakage is not constrained and second-source qualification is required |
Compared with VS-MBR2545CT and MBR2545CT, the MBRS25H45CT offers superior thermal performance (1.5°C/W vs. 2.0°C/W) and tighter high-temperature leakage control (15 mA vs. 25 mA), making it optimal for thermally dense or low-standby-power designs where junction temperature exceeds 100°C.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the MBRS25H45CT?
The MBRS25H45CT has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +175°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version H2103). This rating enables reliable operation in sealed or high-ambient environments such as LED drivers and industrial motor controls. Derating curves confirm usable current capacity down to 10 A at 150°C case temperature. The MBRS25H45CT must be mounted on adequate copper area to maintain this limit under full load.
Does the MBRS25H45CT support automated SMT placement without moisture preconditioning?
Yes, the MBRS25H45CT is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it can be placed directly onto PCBs using standard reflow profiles without baking or dry-pack handling. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements, and the UL 94V-0 molding compound ensures process stability. This eliminates moisture-related popcorning risk during reflow, simplifying manufacturing for the MBRS25H45CT in high-volume adapter and PSU production.
How is the dual-die configuration of the MBRS25H45CT utilized in circuit design?
The MBRS25H45CT integrates two Schottky diodes sharing a common cathode terminal (Pin 2), enabling center-tapped transformer full-wave rectification or independent anode routing for dual-output supplies. Unlike two discrete diodes, its monolithic construction ensures matched thermal and electrical characteristics. In practice, Pin 1 and Pin 3 serve as separate anodes, while Pin 2 provides low-inductance, high-current return path-critical for minimizing voltage overshoot in high-frequency DC/DC converters using the MBRS25H45CT.
What is the typical forward voltage of the MBRS25H45CT at elevated temperature and full load?
At 25 A forward current and 125°C junction temperature, the MBRS25H45CT exhibits a typical forward voltage (VF) of 0.75 V, with a maximum of 0.90 V at 25°C. This low, temperature-stable VF reduces conduction losses significantly compared to silicon rectifiers. The datasheet confirms this value under pulsed test conditions (PW = 0.3 ms), ensuring relevance for real-world switching applications using the MBRS25H45CT.
Is the MBRS25H45CT suitable for automotive applications with load-dump transients?
The MBRS25H45CT is not AEC-Q101 qualified, but its 150 A surge rating (IFSM), 10,000 V/µs dv/dt capability, and integrated guard ring provide robustness against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a load-dump transients (up to 120 V). It has been deployed in non-safety-critical automotive body electronics (e.g., BCMs, lighting modules) where external clamping is used. For full automotive qualification, consult Taiwan Semiconductor's AEC-Q101 portfolio-this specific MBRS25H45CT variant is intended for industrial and computing power systems.
