MBR3045CT

Diode Arrays Overview

The MBR3045CT is a dual common cathode Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 45 V and an average forward rectified current of 15 A per diode. The device exhibits a low forward voltage drop of 570 mV at 15 A and minimal reverse leakage current of 800 µA at 45 V. Designed for surface mount applications, it utilizes a TO-263AB (D2PAK) package with three terminals. The component supports a junction temperature range from -55°C to 150°C and offers high efficiency due to its fast switching characteristics.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Dual common cathode configuration enables efficient power conversion in synchronous rectification circuits.
• Low forward voltage drop minimizes conduction losses and improves overall system efficiency.
• Fast switching action reduces reverse recovery time, making it suitable for high-frequency operation.

Diode Arrays Applications

• DC-DC converters
• Free-wheeling diodes in inductive load circuits
• Power supply output rectification

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official SMC Diode Solutions documentation to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the package type matches the required TO-263AB footprint on the target PCB. Check for any suffix variations that may indicate different tape-and-reel specifications or packaging options. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if required by the end product regulations.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual Schottky rectifier with a 45 V rating and 15 A per diode capacity is needed. The D2PAK package provides robust thermal performance for surface mount assembly. Consider the low forward voltage and fast recovery characteristics for high-efficiency, high-frequency power management designs requiring synchronous rectification or free-wheeling functions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

The MBR3045CT belongs to the MBR series of Schottky rectifiers from SMC Diode Solutions. This series is engineered for general-purpose rectification and power management applications. The dual common cathode design allows for compact circuit layouts in bridge or full-wave configurations. It serves as a semiconductor solution for converting AC to DC or managing inductive energy in switching power supplies.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other dual common cathode Schottky rectifiers rated at 45 V and 15 A per diode in the TO-263AB package. Verify electrical parameters such as forward voltage and reverse leakage current to ensure compatibility with the existing circuit design.
