Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MBRF1635/45 is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage Rating: DC reverse voltage of 35 V maximum
• Current Rating: Average rectified current of 16 A
• Forward Voltage Drop: 630 mV maximum at 16 A
• Recovery Speed: Fast recovery characteristic ≤ 500ns for currents > 200mA
• Reverse Leakage: 200 µA at 35 V
• Mounting Configuration: Through-hole technology
• Package Form Factor: TO-220-2 with isolated tab
• Temperature Range: Junction operating range of -65°C to 150°C
• Technology Type: Schottky rectifier diode

The substitute part MBRF1635-E3/45 maintains identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. The primary distinction is packaging format and RoHS compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MBRF1635/45 and MBRF1635-E3/45 are electrically and mechanically equivalent for circuit applications requiring 35 V, 16 A Schottky rectification.

MBRF1635/45 is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable or where full pack packaging is preferred.

MBRF1635-E3/45 is the appropriate selection for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance. This variant maintains all electrical specifications while meeting RoHS3 regulatory requirements. The tube packaging format provides alternative handling and storage characteristics. Higher inventory availability (2058 units) supports supply chain continuity.

Both parts carry Active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturer support and availability. REACH status is unaffected for both variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are MBRF1635/45 and MBRF1635-E3/45 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically identical with matching voltage ratings (35 V), current ratings (16 A), forward voltage drops (630 mV @ 16 A), and recovery characteristics (≤ 500ns). They are direct substitutes for circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are packaging format and RoHS compliance. MBRF1635/45 uses full pack packaging and is RoHS non-compliant. MBRF1635-E3/45 uses tube packaging and is ROHS3 compliant. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use MBRF1635-E3/45 in place of MBRF1635/45?

A: Yes. The MBRF1635-E3/45 is a direct substitute. It maintains the same TO-220-2 isolated tab package form factor, identical electrical performance, and compatible mounting configuration. The tube packaging does not affect circuit functionality.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. For applications requiring ROHS3 compliance, specify MBRF1635-E3/45. For applications without RoHS requirements, either part is acceptable. Both are Active products with manufacturer support.

Q: Are there any thermal or performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-65°C to 150°C junction temperature) and deliver identical thermal and electrical performance characteristics.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging format difference?

A: MBRF1635/45 is supplied in full pack format, while MBRF1635-E3/45 is supplied in tube format. This affects handling, storage, and automated assembly processes but does not impact electrical performance or circuit compatibility.
