Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MBRB2530CT-TP is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Criteria:

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Technology: Schottky
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: TO-263-3, D2PAK (2 Leads + Tab), TO-263AB
• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): 30 A minimum
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C to 150°C minimum

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): Equal to or greater than 30 V
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: Equal to or lower than 820 mV @ 30 A
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: Equal to or lower than 200 µA @ rated Vr
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)

The MBRB2545CT-TP qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains all mandatory compatibility criteria while providing enhanced voltage rating (45 V versus 30 V) and improved forward voltage characteristics at reduced current levels.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MBRB2545CT-TP is the qualified substitute for MBRB2530CT-TP based on the following factors:

Product Status: The MBRB2530CT-TP is classified as obsolete, while the MBRB2545CT-TP is active and currently manufactured. This ensures long-term supply chain availability and ongoing technical support from Micro Commercial Co.

Compliance and Certifications: Both parts maintain identical REACH status (REACH Unaffected), ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS code (8541.10.0080), ensuring regulatory equivalence for procurement and export purposes.

Electrical Compatibility: The MBRB2545CT-TP maintains all mandatory electrical parameters required for direct substitution. The higher reverse voltage rating (45 V versus 30 V) provides enhanced overvoltage margin without compromising performance in applications designed for 30 V operation. The identical current rating (30 A per diode) and operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C) ensure functional equivalence.

Package Compatibility: Both parts utilize identical surface mount packaging (TO-263-3, D2PAK with 2 leads plus tab), enabling direct PCB layout compatibility without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MBRB2545CT-TP be used as a direct replacement for the MBRB2530CT-TP in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MBRB2545CT-TP is electrically and mechanically compatible with the MBRB2530CT-TP. Both parts share identical diode configuration, current rating, operating temperature range, and package type. The higher voltage rating of the substitute part (45 V versus 30 V) does not create compatibility issues in applications designed for 30 V operation.

Q: What is the primary advantage of substituting to the MBRB2545CT-TP?

A: The MBRB2545CT-TP is an active product with ongoing manufacturing support, whereas the MBRB2530CT-TP is obsolete. This substitution ensures supply chain continuity and access to current inventory.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts maintain identical fast recovery speed (≤ 500ns), identical reverse leakage current (200 µA at their respective voltage ratings), and identical operating temperature range. The MBRB2545CT-TP provides a higher reverse voltage rating, which represents an enhancement rather than a limitation for 30 V applications.

Q: Do these parts require different PCB footprints?

A: No. Both the MBRB2530CT-TP and MBRB2545CT-TP use the TO-263-3 D2PAK package with identical lead configuration (2 leads plus tab). No PCB layout modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the common cathode configuration in this diode array?

A: The 1 pair common cathode configuration means the diode array contains two independent Schottky diodes with a shared cathode terminal. This configuration is identical in both the main part and substitute part.

Q: Are regulatory certifications equivalent between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical REACH status (REACH Unaffected), ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS code (8541.10.0080), ensuring regulatory equivalence for all procurement and compliance purposes.
