Parts are grouped into three categories:

Category 1: Parametric Equivalents (Vishay B360A Series) Parts with identical electrical specifications and Vishay manufacturing. Differences are limited to packaging configuration (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape).

Category 2: Manufacturer Recommended Equivalents (Cross-Manufacturer) Parts from alternative manufacturers (Diodes Incorporated, Comchip Technology, Rohm Semiconductor, STMicroelectronics) that meet or exceed the primary electrical specifications and package requirements.

Category 3: Current-Reduced Alternatives (1 A Rating) Parts with reduced average rectified current (1 A instead of 3 A) are listed for reference but represent a functional downgrade and are not direct substitutes for 3 A applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitutes (3 A Rating, Full Compatibility):

The Vishay B360A series parts (B360A-E3/5AT, B360A-E3/61T, B360A-M3/61T) are parametric equivalents to the B360A-M3/5AT. These parts share identical electrical specifications and differ only in packaging configuration. Selection among these variants is determined by procurement and assembly requirements (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape).

The Diodes Incorporated B360A-13-F is an active, manufacturer-recommended equivalent with 60 V, 3 A ratings in DO-214AC package. This part includes AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Forward voltage is 700 mV (20 mV lower than the Vishay part), and reverse leakage is 500 µA (higher than the Vishay specification). This part is suitable for applications where automotive qualification is required.

The Comchip Technology CDBA360-G is an active, manufacturer-recommended equivalent with matching 60 V, 3 A electrical ratings and DO-214AC package. Forward voltage is 700 mV, and reverse leakage is 500 µA. Capacitance data is not provided.

Conditional Substitutes (Reduced Current Rating):

The Rohm Semiconductor RB050L-60TE25 meets the 60 V voltage requirement and 3 A current rating with superior forward voltage performance (560 mV at 3 A). However, this part is classified as "Not For New Designs" and should not be selected for new applications.

The STMicroelectronics STPS160A, STPS160AY, and STPS1L60A parts are rated for 1 A average rectified current, not 3 A. These parts are not suitable for applications requiring 3 A operation and represent a functional downgrade. These parts are listed for reference only and should not be used as substitutes for the B360A-M3/5AT in 3 A applications.

Compliance and Certification:

All active substitute parts listed comply with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. The Diodes Incorporated B360A-13-F includes AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. All parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the B360A-M3/5AT with the B360A-E3/5AT?

A: Yes. The B360A-E3/5AT is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications (60 V, 3 A, 720 mV forward voltage, 200 µA reverse leakage). The difference is packaging configuration: B360A-E3/5AT is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format, while B360A-M3/5AT is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR). Both use the same DO-214AC (SMA) package. Selection depends on your assembly equipment and procurement requirements.

Q: What is the difference between B360A-M3/5AT and B360A-M3/61T?

A: Both parts have identical electrical specifications and the same DO-214AC (SMA) package. The difference is in the tape configuration: B360A-M3/5AT uses standard Tape & Reel (TR), while B360A-M3/61T uses Cut Tape (CT). Electrical performance is identical.

Q: Can I use the Diodes Incorporated B360A-13-F as a substitute?

A: Yes, with noted differences. The B360A-13-F meets the 60 V, 3 A electrical requirements and uses the same DO-214AC (SMA) package. Forward voltage is 700 mV (20 mV lower than the Vishay part), and reverse leakage is 500 µA (higher than the Vishay specification of 200 µA). The B360A-13-F includes AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. This part is suitable for applications where automotive qualification is required or where the slightly different electrical characteristics are acceptable.

Q: Why are STPS160A and STPS1L60A listed if they cannot substitute the B360A-M3/5AT?

A: These STMicroelectronics parts are rated for 1 A average rectified current, not 3 A. They are listed in the reference data because they share the same 60 V voltage rating and DO-214AC package. These parts are not suitable for applications requiring 3 A operation. They represent a functional downgrade and should not be used as substitutes for 3 A applications.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status on the RB050L-60TE25?

A: The Rohm Semiconductor RB050L-60TE25 is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating that Rohm does not recommend this part for new product development. Although it meets the 60 V, 3 A electrical requirements, this status means the part may be discontinued or have limited long-term availability. New designs should use active parts such as the Vishay B360A series or Diodes Incorporated B360A-13-F.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed in this reference comply with ROHS3 requirements. All parts also maintain REACH Unaffected status and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each substitute?

A: The Vishay B360A series (B360A-M3/5AT, B360A-E3/5AT, B360A-E3/61T, B360A-M3/61T), Diodes Incorporated B360A-13-F, Comchip Technology CDBA360-G, and STMicroelectronics STPS1L60A all operate from -55°C to 150°C junction temperature. The STMicroelectronics STPS160AY operates from -40°C to 150°C. The Rohm Semiconductor RB050L-60TE25 operates to 150°C maximum (no minimum specified). Verify the operating temperature range meets your application requirements.

Q: Can I mix different manufacturers' parts in the same design?

A: Yes, provided all parts meet the electrical specifications required by your application. The Vishay B360A series, Diodes Incorporated B360A-13-F, and Comchip Technology CDBA360-G all meet the 60 V, 3 A requirements and use the same DO-214AC (SMA) package. Verify that forward voltage, reverse leakage, and capacitance characteristics are acceptable for your circuit. Document the substitution in your design records.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on a continuous reel suitable for high-speed automated assembly equipment. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on tape segments, typically used for lower-volume assembly or manual handling. Both formats use the same DO-214AC (SMA) component package. Selection depends on your assembly process and equipment capabilities.
