Product details
Overview
MBRS25H45CTH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a dual-die AEC-Q101-qualified Schottky barrier rectifier in TO-263AB (D2PAK) package, rated for 25A average forward current, 45V repetitive peak reverse voltage, and 150A non-repetitive surge current - designed for high-efficiency DC/DC conversion and reverse battery protection in automotive lighting systems.
For engineers reviewing the MBRS25H45CTH datasheet, MBRS25H45CTH pinout, MBRS25H45CTH application, or MBRS25H45CTH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.70 V max forward voltage at 12.5A/25°C, 1.5 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, guard ring–enabled overvoltage robustness, and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity rating.
Technical Context
The MBRS25H45CTH integrates two independent Schottky die in a common-cathode configuration within a single TO-263AB thermally enhanced surface-mount package. Its low VF and high IFSM support high-frequency switching topologies with minimal conduction loss and strong transient resilience.
Designed for automotive-grade reliability, it meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD, while its guard ring structure improves dv/dt capability to 10,000 V/µs and enables stable operation under load dump conditions.

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-25CPH04-M3 | Same 25 A / 45 V rating, but TO-247AC package; higher RθJA (30 °C/W), no AEC-Q101 qualification | Preferred for industrial mains-input supplies where automotive qualification is unnecessary | Select when board-level heatsinking is impractical and discrete heatsink mounting is available |
| ON Semiconductor MBR2545CT | Identical TO-263AB package and pinout; AEC-Q101 not claimed; VF slightly higher (0.72 V typ @ 12.5A) | Suitable for cost-sensitive commercial DC/DC where automotive reliability is not mandated | Choose for legacy designs already using MBR2545CT footprint, with verification of thermal margin at 125°C |
Compared with VS-25CPH04-M3 and MBR2545CT, the MBRS25H45CTH uniquely combines AEC-Q101 compliance, Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and 1.5 °C/W RθJC in TO-263AB - making it the only option qualified for under-hood automotive use without thermal derating or assembly restrictions.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the MBRS25H45CTH?
The MBRS25H45CTH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of +175°C, validated per AEC-Q101 stress testing. This rating allows reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments where ambient temperatures exceed 105°C, provided thermal design maintains junction temperature below this limit using the specified RθJC of 1.5 °C/W and appropriate heatsinking.
Does the MBRS25H45CTH support automated SMT placement?
Yes, the MBRS25H45CTH is explicitly designed for automated placement, as confirmed in its official datasheet features list. Its TO-263AB (D2PAK) package, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, and Level 1 moisture sensitivity rating enable direct use in standard reflow processes without pre-baking - supporting high-yield, high-throughput SMT assembly for automotive PCBs.
Is the MBRS25H45CTH pin-compatible with the MBR2545CT?
Yes, the MBRS25H45CTH shares identical TO-263AB (D2PAK) mechanical dimensions, pin assignment (Pin 1: Anode 1, Pin 2: Cathode, Pin 3: Anode 2), and marking layout with ON Semiconductor's MBR2545CT. However, MBRS25H45CTH adds AEC-Q101 qualification and tighter VF distribution - making it a drop-in replacement only after verifying thermal and reliability requirements in automotive applications.
What does the "H" suffix in MBRS25H45CTH indicate?
The "H" in MBRS25H45CTH denotes Taiwan Semiconductor's halogen-free variant, certified per IEC 61249-2-21. This distinguishes it from standard versions (e.g., MBRS2545CT) and confirms compliance with automotive environmental directives requiring elimination of brominated flame retardants and chlorine-based compounds in printed circuit board assemblies.
Can the MBRS25H45CTH be used in reverse battery protection circuits?
Yes, the MBRS25H45CTH is explicitly recommended for reverse battery protection in its datasheet Applications section. Its 45 V VRRM provides sufficient margin against 36 V load dump transients, while its low 0.70 V forward voltage minimizes insertion loss in 12 V systems - ensuring stable power delivery to downstream ECUs even during polarity reversal events.
