DSA60C150PB Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DSA60C150PB is an active Schottky diode array manufactured by IXYS, configured as a 1 Pair Common Cathode design rated for 150 V DC reverse voltage and 30 A average rectified current per diode. The device is packaged in a Through Hole TO-220-3 case and is RoHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when application requirements permit operation at lower current ratings within the same voltage and package specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the DSA60C150PB are qualified based on the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Technology: Schottky
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 150 V
• Package / Case: TO-220-3
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Product Status: Active
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

Variable Parameters Permitting Substitution:

• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): Substitute parts may operate at lower current ratings (5 A or 10 A) compared to the primary part (30 A), provided the application does not require the full 30 A capacity
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: Varies by manufacturer and current rating; lower forward voltage drop indicates improved efficiency
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: Substitute parts exhibit lower leakage current, indicating improved performance characteristics
• Operating Temperature - Junction: Substitute parts operate within overlapping or equivalent temperature ranges

Substitution is valid when the application current requirement does not exceed the substitute part's rated current capacity and all mandatory parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

DSA60C150PB (IXYS): Select this part when the application requires the full 30 A average rectified current capacity per diode. The device supports the widest operating temperature range (-55°C to 175°C) and is suitable for high-current rectification applications. Product status is Active with full RoHS3 compliance.

MBR10150CT-G1 (Diodes Incorporated): Select this part for applications requiring 5 A or less average rectified current per diode at 150 V. This substitute offers improved reverse leakage characteristics (50 µA versus 450 µA) and maintains the same operating temperature range as the primary part (-55°C to 175°C). Product status is Active with RoHS3 compliance.

MBR20H150CTG (onsemi): Select this part for applications requiring 10 A or less average rectified current per diode at 150 V. This substitute provides the lowest forward voltage drop (680 mV @ 10 A) among the three options, indicating superior efficiency at its rated current. Operating temperature range is -20°C to 150°C. Product status is Active with RoHS3 compliance. Note the reduced low-temperature operating limit compared to the primary part.

All substitute parts maintain identical package, mounting type, and voltage specifications, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility within their respective current ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MBR10150CT-G1 or MBR20H150CTG be used as direct replacements for DSA60C150PB?

A: Direct replacement is valid only if the application current requirement does not exceed the substitute part's rated current. MBR10150CT-G1 is suitable for applications requiring 5 A or less; MBR20H150CTG is suitable for applications requiring 10 A or less. If the circuit requires the full 30 A capacity, neither substitute is appropriate.

Q: What is the significance of the lower reverse leakage current in the substitute parts?

A: The substitute parts (MBR10150CT-G1 and MBR20H150CTG) exhibit reverse leakage current of 50 µA at 150 V, compared to 450 µA for the DSA60C150PB. Lower reverse leakage indicates reduced parasitic current flow in the reverse-biased state, which can improve circuit efficiency and reduce power dissipation in standby conditions.

Q: Are there temperature range limitations when substituting parts?

A: MBR20H150CTG has a reduced low-temperature operating limit (-20°C minimum) compared to DSA60C150PB and MBR10150CT-G1 (-55°C minimum). If the application requires operation below -20°C, MBR20H150CTG is not suitable. Both DSA60C150PB and MBR10150CT-G1 support the full -55°C to 175°C range.

Q: Do all parts use the same TO-220-3 package?

A: Yes. All three parts use the TO-220-3 Through Hole package, ensuring identical mechanical compatibility and PCB footprint. No layout modifications are required when substituting between these parts.

Q: What does "1 Pair Common Cathode" configuration mean?

A: This configuration contains two diodes within a single package with a shared cathode terminal. The three leads are: two anodes (one per diode) and one common cathode. All substitute parts maintain this identical configuration.

Q: Are all parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. DSA60C150PB, MBR10150CT-G1, and MBR20H150CTG are all RoHS3 compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for lead-free manufacturing and restricted substance limitations.
