Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Alternative part selection for the VS-MBR3045CTPBF is based strictly on the following key parameters: category (Diodes, Rectifiers), diode configuration (1 Pair Common Cathode), Schottky technology, maximum reverse voltage (45 V), average rectified current (15A), package/case (TO-220-3), mounting type (Through Hole), and compliance certifications (RoHS, REACH). These parameters must be matched precisely to ensure electrical and mechanical compatibility for direct substitution. Only parts meeting all specified criteria are considered valid substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The VS-MBR3045CTPBF is discontinued at Digi-Key, while the substitute part MBR3045CT-BP is active and available in stock. Both parts comply with ROHS3 and REACH standards and share ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The substitute (MBR3045CT-BP) maintains the required compliance criteria and certifications for environmental and regulatory status, making it suitable for replacement in designs where continued availability and compliance are essential.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Which parameters must exactly match when substituting diode rectifiers in this configuration?
A1: Substitution requires strict matching on category, diode configuration, technology, maximum reverse voltage, average rectified current, package/case, mounting type, and compliance certifications.

Q2: Does the package type affect interchangeability?
A2: Yes. Both the VS-MBR3045CTPBF and MBR3045CT-BP use the TO-220-3 through-hole package, ensuring mechanical compatibility.

Q3: Are there differences in compliance or environmental status between these parts?
A3: Both diodes are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and share MSL 1 (Unlimited), ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS 8541.10.0080 classifications.

Q4: What considerations must be made regarding electrical ratings?
A4: Substitution is permissible if voltage - DC reverse (Vr) (Max) and current - average rectified (Io) (per diode) match. The voltage forward (Vf) and reverse leakage specifications must also be within the specified parameters for the application.

Q5: If a part is discontinued, is substituting with an active component in the same package always valid?
A5: Substitution is valid only when all specified parameters—including package, ratings, and configuration—are strictly aligned as presented.
