Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as obsolete and no longer manufactured. Verification of availability requires checking authorized distributors for remaining stock or approved replacement parts. Ensure that any substitute components meet the original electrical specifications and thermal requirements before integration into designs.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring a 15 A Schottky rectifier with a 35 V rating in a surface-mount format. Consider the thermal performance of the D2PAK-3 package and the specific forward voltage characteristics at operating currents. Verify that the replacement component matches the pinout and physical dimensions if substituting due to obsolescence.

Diode Arrays Part Context

The MBRB2535CT-E3/45 belongs to Vishay's MBRB series of high-efficiency Schottky barrier rectifiers. These devices are designed for low-loss power conversion in compact form factors. The E3 suffix indicates compliance with RoHS standards, while the /45 denotes the tube packaging option. This series targets high-frequency switching applications where low reverse recovery charge is critical.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitutes include the STPS25L35CT from STMicroelectronics and the MBRS2535CT from onsemi. Verify that alternative packages match the D2PA-3 footprint and that thermal resistance values are compatible with the existing heatsinking design.
