MBR1060/45 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MBR1060/45 is a Schottky rectifier diode rated for 60 V DC reverse voltage and 10 A average rectified current in a through-hole TO-220AC package. Manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division, this component is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status and limited availability from the original manufacturer, equivalent and substitute parts are necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure supply chain reliability for applications requiring 60 V, 10 A Schottky rectification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MBR1060/45 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): Must equal or exceed 60 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): Must equal or exceed 10 A
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole
• Package / Case: Must be TO-220-2
• Technology: Must be Schottky

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Operating Temperature Range: Must accommodate the application's thermal requirements
• Forward Voltage (Vf): Lower values indicate improved efficiency
• Reverse Leakage Current: Lower values indicate reduced power dissipation
• Recovery Speed: Fast recovery characteristics maintain switching performance

The substitute parts listed below meet the primary substitution criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically compatible with the MBR1060/45 in applications requiring 60 V, 10 A Schottky rectification in TO-220AC packaging.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MBR1060-E3/45 (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division)

The MBR1060-E3/45 is the direct equivalent to the MBR1060/45. It maintains identical electrical specifications including 60 V reverse voltage, 10 A average rectified current, 800 mV forward voltage at 10 A, and fast recovery characteristics. The MBR1060-E3/45 is classified as Active product status with ROHS3 compliance, providing superior long-term availability and regulatory alignment compared to the obsolete MBR1060/45. This part is the primary selection for direct replacement applications.

MBR1060-BP (Micro Commercial Co)

The MBR1060-BP meets the core electrical requirements of 60 V reverse voltage and 10 A average rectified current in TO-220AC packaging. However, it exhibits higher reverse leakage current (150 µA versus 100 µA) and does not specify fast recovery characteristics. The operating temperature range is reduced to -55 to 150°C. This part is suitable for applications where the higher leakage current and reduced temperature range are acceptable.

MBR760-BP (Micro Commercial Co)

The MBR760-BP is rated for 7.5 A average rectified current, which is below the 10 A requirement of the MBR1060/45. This part does not meet the primary substitution criterion for current capacity and is not recommended as a direct substitute. It may be considered only in applications where the actual operating current does not exceed 7.5 A and where the higher reverse leakage current (500 µA) is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MBR1060-E3/45 be used as a direct replacement for the MBR1060/45?

A: Yes. The MBR1060-E3/45 is electrically and mechanically identical to the MBR1060/45, with identical voltage, current, forward voltage, and recovery speed specifications. The primary advantage is its Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring continued availability and regulatory compliance.

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

A: Both parts meet the 60 V, 10 A electrical requirements. The MBR1060-E3/45 is manufactured by Vishay and maintains the original specifications including 800 mV forward voltage and fast recovery characteristics. The MBR1060-BP is manufactured by Micro Commercial Co and exhibits higher reverse leakage current (150 µA versus 100 µA) and a reduced operating temperature range (-55 to 150°C versus -65 to 150°C).

Q: Why is the MBR760-BP listed as a substitute if it has lower current rating?

A: The MBR760-BP is listed based on the provided substitute list but does not meet the primary current requirement of 10 A. It is rated for 7.5 A average rectified current. This part is suitable only for applications where the actual operating current does not exceed 7.5 A.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same TO-220AC package?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed are packaged in TO-220-2 case with TO-220AC supplier device package designation, ensuring mechanical compatibility with the MBR1060/45.

Q: What is the impact of higher reverse leakage current in the MBR1060-BP and MBR760-BP?

A: Higher reverse leakage current increases power dissipation and heat generation during reverse bias operation. The MBR1060-BP exhibits 150 µA leakage (versus 100 µA in the MBR1060/45), and the MBR760-BP exhibits 500 µA leakage. Applications with stringent thermal or power efficiency requirements should prioritize the MBR1060-E3/45.

Q: Does the reduced operating temperature range of the MBR1060-BP affect compatibility?

A: The MBR1060-BP operates from -55 to 150°C, compared to -65 to 150°C for the MBR1060/45. Applications requiring operation below -55°C must use the MBR1060-E3/45 or MBR1060/45.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance for these parts?

A: The MBR1060-E3/45 and MBR760-BP are ROHS3 compliant, indicating compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. The MBR1060/45 is non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS requirements, the MBR1060-E3/45 is the appropriate selection.
