DSA20C60PB Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DSA20C60PB is an active Schottky diode array manufactured by IXYS, configured as a 1 Pair Common Cathode rectifier with a maximum reverse voltage rating of 60 V and average rectified current of 10 A per diode. The device is packaged in a Through Hole TO-220-3 case and is RoHS3 compliant. This component is used in power conversion and rectification applications requiring fast recovery characteristics. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when design requirements permit higher current ratings within the same voltage and package specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DSA20C60PB is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant or be exceeded:

Fixed Parameters (Must Match):

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Technology: Schottky
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 60 V minimum
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: TO-220-3
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)

Scalable Parameters (Can Be Equal or Exceeded):

• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): 10 A minimum
• Operating Temperature - Junction: Must encompass or exceed -55°C ~ 175°C range

The substitute part MBR2060CT_T0_00001 meets all fixed parameters and exceeds the current rating specification, making it a valid substitute for applications where higher current capacity is acceptable or beneficial.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MBR2060CT_T0_00001 is a direct substitute for the DSA20C60PB based on the following criteria:

Compliance and Regulatory Status: Both parts are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Product Status: Both parts are listed as Active, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

Electrical Compatibility: The substitute part maintains the same 60 V reverse voltage rating and TO-220-3 package configuration. The current rating of 20 A per diode exceeds the original 10 A specification, providing additional design margin without introducing incompatibility. The forward voltage at 10 A operation is lower in the substitute part (750 mV versus 860 mV), resulting in reduced power dissipation under equivalent load conditions.

Thermal Performance: The substitute part extends the lower operating temperature limit to -65°C, providing a wider thermal operating range compared to the original -55°C specification.

Leakage Characteristics: The substitute part exhibits lower reverse leakage current (50 µA versus 200 µA at 60 V), indicating improved device quality and reduced standby power consumption.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MBR2060CT_T0_00001 be used as a direct replacement for the DSA20C60PB?

A: Yes. Both devices share identical diode configuration, Schottky technology, 60 V reverse voltage rating, fast recovery speed characteristics, and TO-220-3 package. The substitute part meets all fixed electrical and mechanical parameters required for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the higher current rating in the substitute part?

A: The MBR2060CT_T0_00001 is rated for 20 A average rectified current per diode, compared to 10 A in the DSA20C60PB. This higher rating provides additional design margin and allows the substitute part to handle increased current loads without exceeding its specifications. Applications limited to 10 A operation will function identically in both parts.

Q: Are there differences in forward voltage characteristics?

A: Yes. The MBR2060CT_T0_00001 exhibits a forward voltage of 750 mV at 10 A, compared to 860 mV in the DSA20C60PB. This 110 mV reduction results in lower power dissipation and improved efficiency in rectification applications operating at 10 A.

Q: How do the reverse leakage currents compare?

A: The MBR2060CT_T0_00001 has a reverse leakage current of 50 µA at 60 V, compared to 200 µA in the DSA20C60PB. The lower leakage in the substitute part reduces standby power consumption and indicates superior device characteristics.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same temperature range applications?

A: The MBR2060CT_T0_00001 operates from -65°C to 175°C, extending the lower temperature limit by 10°C compared to the DSA20C60PB range of -55°C to 175°C. Both parts cover the upper temperature limit identically. Applications within the DSA20C60PB temperature range will function in the substitute part with additional low-temperature capability.

Q: Do both parts use the same package?

A: Yes. Both the DSA20C60PB and MBR2060CT_T0_00001 use the TO-220-3 Through Hole package, ensuring identical PCB footprint and mounting compatibility.

Q: Are there any regulatory or compliance differences?

A: No. Both parts are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting identical environmental and regulatory standards.
