APD360VPL-E1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The APD360VPL-E1 is a Schottky rectifier diode rated for 60 V DC reverse voltage and 3 A average rectified current in a through-hole DO-201 axial package. Manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, this component is classified as obsolete. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure supply chain availability for applications requiring 60 V, 3 A Schottky rectification in through-hole configurations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the APD360VPL-E1 are qualified based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): Must equal or exceed 60 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): Must equal or exceed 3 A
• Technology: Must be Schottky
• Speed: Must support Fast Recovery ≤ 500 ns, > 200 mA (Io)

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: DO-201AA, DO-27, or Axial configuration

Compliance Criteria:

• RoHS3 Compliance required
• ECCN: EAR99

The substitute parts MBR360G and MBR360RLG, both manufactured by onsemi, meet all electrical and mechanical requirements. Both parts are active products with enhanced operating temperature ranges and improved supply availability compared to the obsolete APD360VPL-E1.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: MBR360G

The MBR360G is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the APD360VPL-E1. This part is manufactured by onsemi and maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. The MBR360G meets all electrical specifications for 60 V, 3 A Schottky rectification and is supplied in bulk packaging. The operating temperature range of -65°C to 150°C exceeds the original part specification, providing enhanced thermal performance margin. RoHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification are maintained.

Secondary Substitute: MBR360RLG

The MBR360RLG is an equivalent alternative supplied by onsemi in cut tape (CT) packaging. This part is functionally identical to the MBR360G with identical electrical ratings and operating temperature range. The MBR360RLG is suitable for applications requiring tape-and-reel format for automated assembly processes. Both onsemi parts are active products with superior supply availability compared to the obsolete APD360VPL-E1.

Substitution Feasibility:

Both substitute parts are direct replacements for the APD360VPL-E1 in through-hole applications. The forward voltage specification of the substitute parts (740 mV @ 3 A) is marginally higher than the original part (680 mV @ 3 A), representing a 60 mV increase. This difference is within typical design tolerances for rectifier applications and does not preclude substitution. The reverse leakage current specification of the substitute parts (600 µA @ 60 V) is slightly elevated compared to the original part (500 µA @ 60 V), representing a 100 µA increase, which is acceptable for standard rectification circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MBR360G and MBR360RLG be used interchangeably with APD360VPL-E1?

A: Yes. Both onsemi parts meet the electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. The primary difference is packaging format: MBR360G is supplied in bulk, while MBR360RLG is supplied in cut tape format. Selection depends on assembly process requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the forward voltage difference between APD360VPL-E1 (680 mV) and the substitute parts (740 mV)?

A: The 60 mV difference in forward voltage at 3 A represents a 8.8% increase. This difference is within acceptable tolerances for rectifier applications and reflects normal manufacturing variation between different manufacturers. Circuit designs accommodating standard Schottky rectifier forward voltage ranges will function correctly with either part.

Q: Are the substitute parts compatible with the original DO-201 axial package footprint?

A: Yes. Both MBR360G and MBR360RLG are specified for DO-201AA, DO-27, and axial package configurations, maintaining mechanical compatibility with the original APD360VPL-E1 footprint and through-hole mounting requirements.

Q: Why is the operating temperature range of the substitute parts wider than the original part?

A: The onsemi MBR360G and MBR360RLG are specified for -65°C to 150°C operation, compared to the APD360VPL-E1 specification of -50°C to 125°C. This represents enhanced thermal performance and design margin in the substitute parts, providing additional operational flexibility without compromising compatibility.

Q: Are compliance certifications maintained with the substitute parts?

A: Yes. Both MBR360G and MBR360RLG maintain RoHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification, matching the regulatory status of the original APD360VPL-E1.

Q: What is the difference between bulk and cut tape packaging options?

A: MBR360G (bulk) is suitable for manual assembly and small-quantity applications. MBR360RLG (cut tape) is formatted for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical; packaging selection depends on manufacturing process requirements.
