30WQ06FN Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The 30WQ06FN is a Schottky rectifier diode rated for 60 V DC reverse voltage and 3.5 A average rectified current in a Surface Mount TO-252AA (DPAK) package. Manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division, this component is classified as obsolete product status. Due to its obsolete designation, identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary for ongoing design support, production continuity, and component sourcing in applications requiring 60 V / 3.5 A Schottky rectification.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution of the 30WQ06FN is determined by the following critical parameters:
- Voltage Rating (Vr): 60 V maximum DC reverse voltage
- Current Rating (Io): 3.5 A average rectified current (or higher)
- Forward Voltage (Vf): 610 mV maximum at 3 A
- Package Type: TO-252-3 DPAK (2 Leads + Tab), SC-63
- Mounting: Surface Mount
- Technology: Schottky rectifier diode
- Speed Characteristic: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA
Substitute parts must meet or exceed these electrical specifications and maintain identical mechanical package compatibility. Parts are grouped by their relationship to the main part: parametric equivalents from the same manufacturer (Vishay), direct manufacturer alternatives, and manufacturer-recommended substitutes from other suppliers.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
Primary Substitute: VS-30WQ06FN-M3
The VS-30WQ06FN-M3 is a parametric equivalent manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division with active product status. This part maintains identical electrical specifications (60 V, 3.5 A, 610 mV forward voltage) and package configuration (TO-252-3 DPAK). The VS-30WQ06FN-M3 is ROHS3 compliant and represents the direct active-production replacement for the obsolete 30WQ06FN. Packaging is supplied in Tube format.
Secondary Substitute: VS-30WQ06FNHM3
The VS-30WQ06FNHM3 is an automotive-grade variant (AEC-Q101 qualified) from Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division with active product status. Electrical specifications match the main part (60 V, 3.5 A, 610 mV forward voltage). This part is suitable for applications requiring automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance. Packaging is supplied in Tube format.
Alternative Substitute: MBRD360T4G
The MBRD360T4G is a manufacturer-recommended substitute from onsemi (SWITCHMODE™ series) with active product status. This part meets the 60 V voltage rating and maintains fast recovery characteristics. The current rating is 3 A, which is 0.5 A lower than the main part specification. Forward voltage is 600 mV at 3 A, representing a 10 mV improvement. Operating temperature range extends to -65°C minimum. This part is ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications where the 3 A current rating is sufficient. Packaging is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format.
Alternative Source: 30WQ06FN (SMC Diode Solutions)
SMC Diode Solutions offers a 30WQ06FN part number with active product status. This part maintains the 60 V voltage rating, 610 mV forward voltage, and fast recovery characteristics in TO-252-3 DPAK package. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed. Average rectified current specification is not provided in available documentation. Packaging is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can VS-30WQ06FN-M3 be used as a direct replacement for the obsolete 30WQ06FN?
A: Yes. The VS-30WQ06FN-M3 maintains identical electrical specifications (60 V, 3.5 A, 610 mV forward voltage) and package configuration (TO-252-3 DPAK). Both parts are manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance (ROHS3 versus non-compliant).
Q: What is the difference between VS-30WQ06FN-M3 and VS-30WQ06FNHM3?
A: Both parts are Vishay parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications and package type. The VS-30WQ06FNHM3 includes automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q101) and is designated for automotive applications. Selection between these parts depends on application requirements for automotive certification.
Q: Is the MBRD360T4G from onsemi a suitable substitute?
A: The MBRD360T4G meets the 60 V voltage requirement and maintains fast recovery characteristics in the same TO-252-3 DPAK package. However, the average rectified current rating is 3 A compared to the 30WQ06FN specification of 3.5 A. This part is suitable for applications where the 3 A current rating is sufficient. Forward voltage performance is equivalent (600 mV versus 610 mV at 3 A).
Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same package?
A: All substitute parts use the TO-252-3 DPAK (2 Leads + Tab), SC-63 package configuration, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with PCB layouts designed for the 30WQ06FN. Packaging formats (Tube, Tape & Reel, Cut Tape) differ by supplier but do not affect component performance or board-level compatibility.
Q: What is the significance of the reverse leakage current differences between parts?
A: The 30WQ06FN and VS-30WQ06FNHM3 specify 2 mA reverse leakage at 60 V. The VS-30WQ06FN-M3 specifies 2 µA (1000× lower), and the MBRD360T4G specifies 200 µA. Lower reverse leakage current reduces power dissipation in reverse-biased conditions and improves circuit efficiency. Selection depends on application sensitivity to leakage current performance.
Q: Are RoHS compliance considerations important for substitution?
A: The original 30WQ06FN is RoHS non-compliant. All active substitute parts (VS-30WQ06FN-M3, VS-30WQ06FNHM3, 30WQ06FN from SMC Diode Solutions, and MBRD360T4G) are ROHS3 compliant. For new designs or production requiring RoHS compliance, any of the active substitutes are appropriate. For legacy system maintenance, compliance requirements depend on application and regulatory jurisdiction.
Q: What is the operating temperature range difference with MBRD360T4G?
A: The 30WQ06FN and all Vishay substitutes specify -40°C to 150°C junction temperature range. The MBRD360T4G extends the minimum temperature to -65°C, providing wider low-temperature operation capability. This difference is relevant only for applications requiring operation below -40°C.
