Product details
Overview
SBR3045CT from Diodes Incorporated is a 45 V, 30 A total (15 A per leg) dual common-cathode super barrier rectifier in TO220AB package, featuring 0.55 V max forward voltage at 15 A and 0.5 mA max reverse leakage at 45 V/25°C. It delivers low conduction loss and high-temperature stability for DC-DC converter output rectification and freewheeling in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SBR3045CT datasheet, SBR3045CT pinout, SBR3045CT application, or SBR3045CT equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-leg current rating, ultra-low VF at high junction temperature, rugged avalanche capability versus Schottky diodes, and TO220AB thermal resistance of 2°C/W per leg with heatsink.
Technical Context
This device integrates two independent super barrier rectifier dies in a single TO220AB package with common cathode configuration. Its patented SBR® technology enables higher avalanche energy rating than standard Schottky diodes while maintaining sub-0.55 V forward drop at rated current.
Thermal performance is defined per leg: RθJC = 2°C/W (TO220AB, with 50×50×23 mm Al heatsink), enabling sustained 15 A operation up to +125°C case temperature. Reverse leakage remains ≤100 mA at 45 V and +125°C, supporting reliable blocking in high-ambient environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 45 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage per leg; defines safe DC blocking capability in 36 V nominal systems. |
| IO (per leg) | 15 A - Continuous average forward current per anode leg; supports 30 A total dual-leg output in parallel-configured supplies. |
| VF (max) | 0.55 V @ 15 A, 25°C - Low conduction loss reduces power dissipation by >30% vs. standard fast recovery diodes at same current. |
| IR (max) | 0.5 mA @ 45 V, 25°C - Ultra-low leakage minimizes standby power loss and thermal runaway risk in high-temp operation. |
| IFSM | 200 A @ 8.3 ms - Robust surge handling enables reliable inrush and transient protection without external snubbers. |
| RθJC | 2 °C/W per leg - Enables direct heatsink mounting for efficient thermal management in compact 1U power designs. |
Pinout & Package
TO220AB package: 3-terminal, insulated tab, vertical mounting with screw-hole heatsink interface. Cathode terminal shared between both anodes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode 1 (A1) | Input terminal for first rectifier leg | Accepts AC or switched input; electrically isolated from tab and Anode 2. |
| Anode 2 (A2) | Input terminal for second rectifier leg | Enables dual-output or interleaved topology use; shares cathode with A1. |
| Cathode (K) | Common output node | Single low-impedance return path for both legs; connected to metal tab for thermal conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Patented SBR® technology | Superior avalanche ruggedness vs. Schottky diodes-enables reliable operation under repetitive line transients without derating. |
| Ultra-low VF at high TJ | 0.50 V typ @ 15 A, 125°C-maintains efficiency in thermally constrained enclosures without forced air. |
| Low high-temp IR | ≤100 mA @ 45 V, 125°C-prevents thermal runaway in sealed industrial power modules. |
| RoHS-compliant & Halogen-free | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and <900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb-supports green manufacturing and end-of-life compliance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super barrier rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SBRT3045CT | Same die, ITO220AB package with insulated tab; RθJC = 4°C/W per leg; VAC = 2000 V isolation. | Required where primary-secondary isolation or floating heatsink mounting is needed. | Select when creepage/clearance requirements exceed TO220AB limits or when heatsink must remain ungrounded. |
| MBR3045CT | Standard Schottky; VF = 0.62 V max @ 15 A; IR = 20 mA @ 45 V/25°C; no avalanche rating. | Lower-cost option where surge immunity and high-temp leakage are non-critical. | Choose only for benign ambient (<60°C) and low-transient environments; avoid in industrial or telecom deployments. |
Compared with SBRT3045CT, SBR3045CT offers lower thermal resistance but requires grounded heatsink mounting; versus MBR3045CT, it provides superior reliability under surge and high-temperature stress at modest cost premium.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous junction temperature for SBR3045CT?
The SBR3045CT has an operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. Its thermal resistance is specified per leg at RθJC = 2°C/W (TO220AB with 50×50×23 mm aluminum heatsink), allowing sustained 15 A operation at +125°C case temperature with appropriate heatsinking.
Is SBR3045CT pin-compatible with standard TO220 full-bridge rectifiers?
No. SBR3045CT is a dual common-cathode rectifier (A1–K–A2), not a full-bridge. Its pinout differs: Pin 1 = A1, Pin 2 = K (tab-connected), Pin 3 = A2. It replaces two discrete Schottkys-not four-diode bridges-and requires layout adaptation for dual-anode routing.
Does SBR3045CT require derating for capacitive loads?
Yes. Per datasheet Note: "For capacitive load, derate current by 20%." At full-rated 15 A per leg, this means limiting average forward current to 12 A when used with highly capacitive outputs, such as bulk capacitor inputs in offline SMPS, to prevent excessive surge stress on the die.
How does SBR3045CT's avalanche capability compare to Schottky diodes?
SBR3045CT uses patented SBR® technology to achieve significantly higher avalanche energy rating than standard Schottky diodes. This allows it to safely absorb repetitive line transients and switching spikes without degradation-critical in unregulated or poorly filtered input stages where Schottkys would fail prematurely.
