MBR1060 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MBR1060 is a Schottky rectifier diode rated for 60V DC reverse voltage and 10A average rectified current in a through-hole TO-220-2 package. Manufactured by onsemi under the SWITCHMODE™ series, this component is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent and substitute parts from active manufacturers are necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Substitute parts maintain the same electrical performance characteristics while offering active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MBR1060 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Voltage Rating (Vr): The reverse voltage rating must equal or exceed 60V. Parts rated below 60V (such as DSS10-0045B at 45V) are classified as similar but not direct substitutes due to reduced voltage capability.

Current Rating (Io): The average rectified current must equal or exceed 10A. Parts rated below 10A (such as MBR760-BP at 7.5A) are classified as similar but not direct substitutes due to reduced current capacity.

Mounting Type and Package: Direct substitutes must maintain through-hole mounting in TO-220-2 or compatible TO-220AC package configurations. Surface mount variants (such as DSS10-01AS-TRL in TO-263AA) are classified as similar due to different mounting technology.

Technology: All substitute parts utilize Schottky diode technology, maintaining fast recovery characteristics (≤ 500ns, > 200mA).

Electrical Performance: Forward voltage drop, reverse leakage current, and recovery speed must remain within acceptable operating parameters for the application.

Direct substitutes are parts that match all critical parameters (60V, 10A, through-hole TO-220 package). Similar parts are those that differ in one or more critical parameters but maintain Schottky technology and fast recovery characteristics.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitutes (Identical Electrical and Mechanical Specifications):

MBR1060G (onsemi) is the primary direct substitute. It maintains identical electrical ratings (60V, 10A, 800 mV forward voltage) and package configuration (TO-220-2 through-hole) while offering active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This part is recommended for applications requiring direct pin-for-pin replacement with improved compliance certifications.

MBR1060 manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This part provides an alternative source for the same specifications.

MBR1060-E3/45 (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division) is a direct substitute with identical electrical specifications, active product status, and ROHS3 compliance. Operating temperature range extends to -65°C, providing enhanced low-temperature performance compared to the original MBR1060.

Substitutes with Modified Specifications:

MBR1060-BP (Micro Commercial Co) maintains 60V and 10A ratings in TO-220-2 through-hole package with active product status. Forward voltage specification is not provided in available data.

MBR1060F-BP (Micro Commercial Co) maintains 60V and 10A ratings with improved forward voltage (750 mV @ 10A) and features an isolated tab configuration (ITO-220AC). This variant is suitable for applications requiring electrical isolation between the tab and leads.

Similar Parts with Reduced Current Rating:

MBR760-BP and VT760-M3/4W both provide 60V reverse voltage in TO-220-2 through-hole packages but with reduced current rating of 7.5A. These parts are suitable only for applications with maximum current requirements not exceeding 7.5A.

Similar Parts with Modified Voltage Rating:

DSS10-0045B (IXYS) provides 10A current rating but with reduced reverse voltage of 45V. This part is suitable only for applications with maximum reverse voltage not exceeding 45V.

DSS10-01A (IXYS) provides 10A current rating with increased reverse voltage of 100V in TO-220-2 through-hole package. This part is suitable for applications requiring higher voltage capability.

DSS10-01AS-TRL (IXYS) provides 10A current rating with 100V reverse voltage but in surface-mount TO-263AA package. This part requires different PCB layout and assembly processes compared to through-hole mounting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MBR1060G be used as a direct replacement for the obsolete MBR1060?

A: Yes. MBR1060G maintains identical electrical specifications (60V, 10A, 800 mV forward voltage) and TO-220-2 through-hole package configuration. It offers active product status and ROHS3 compliance, making it the recommended direct substitute.

Q: What is the difference between MBR1060-E3/45 and the original MBR1060?

A: MBR1060-E3/45 provides identical electrical ratings and package configuration but extends the operating temperature range to -65°C (compared to the original -65°C to 175°C specification). It offers active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Can DSS10-0045B replace MBR1060 in all applications?

A: No. DSS10-0045B has a reduced reverse voltage rating of 45V compared to the MBR1060's 60V rating. It can only be used in applications where the maximum reverse voltage does not exceed 45V.

Q: What is the advantage of MBR1060F-BP over standard MBR1060 substitutes?

A: MBR1060F-BP features an isolated tab configuration (ITO-220AC), which provides electrical isolation between the tab and the diode leads. This is beneficial in applications where the tab must be isolated from the main circuit ground or where multiple diodes share a common heat sink without electrical connection.

Q: Can DSS10-01AS-TRL be used instead of through-hole MBR1060 variants?

A: DSS10-01AS-TRL requires surface-mount assembly and cannot be directly substituted for through-hole applications without significant PCB redesign and assembly process changes. It is suitable only for new designs utilizing surface-mount technology.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Most active substitute parts listed (MBR1060G, MBR1060 by TSC, MBR1060-E3/45, DSS10-0045B, DSS10-01A, DSS10-01AS-TRL, MBR760-BP, VT760-M3/4W) are ROHS3 compliant. MBR1060-BP and MBR1060F-BP do not specify RoHS status in available data.

Q: What is the difference between MBR760-BP and MBR1060 substitutes?

A: MBR760-BP has a reduced current rating of 7.5A compared to MBR1060's 10A rating. It maintains the same 60V reverse voltage and TO-220-2 through-hole package. It can only be used in applications with maximum current requirements not exceeding 7.5A.

Q: Can DSS10-01A be used in place of MBR1060 for higher voltage applications?

A: DSS10-01A provides 100V reverse voltage capability compared to MBR1060's 60V rating. It maintains 10A current rating and TO-220-2 through-hole package. It can be used in applications requiring higher voltage capability, though it is not necessary for 60V applications.

Q: What packaging options are available for MBR1060 substitutes?

A: Most direct substitutes are available in TO-220-2 through-hole packages with tube or bulk packaging. MBR1060F-BP offers an isolated tab variant (ITO-220AC). DSS10-01AS-TRL is available in surface-mount TO-263AA package with tape and reel packaging.

Q: How do forward voltage specifications affect substitute selection?

A: Forward voltage drop affects power dissipation and circuit efficiency. MBR1060 specifies 800 mV @ 10A. Substitutes with lower forward voltage (such as MBR1060F-BP at 750 mV @ 10A or DSS10-0045B at 510 mV @ 10A) result in reduced power dissipation. Substitutes with higher forward voltage result in increased power dissipation. Selection depends on thermal management requirements and efficiency specifications of the application.
