MBR1060CT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MBR1060CT is a Schottky diode array manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, configured as 1 pair common cathode with 60 V reverse voltage rating and 10 A average rectified current per diode. The device is packaged in TO-220-3 through-hole configuration and 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 core electrical specifications while offering improved availability and active product support.

Substitution Categories:

Direct Equivalents (Identical Electrical Specifications): Parts that maintain the exact 10 A current rating, 60 V voltage rating, and Schottky technology with compatible forward voltage characteristics. These include MBR1060CT from Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, MBR1060CTP from SMC Diode Solutions, VT2060G-E3/4W from Vishay, and DST2060C from Littelfuse.

Functional Equivalents (Higher Current Rating): Parts rated for higher current capacity (15 A to 30 A) at the same 60 V voltage rating. These include DSB30C60PB, DSA60C60PB, and DSB60C60PB from IXYS, and DST3060LC from Littelfuse. These parts are electrically compatible for applications requiring the MBR1060CT but offer increased current handling capability.

Reduced Current Rating (Lower Performance): The SBR1060CT from Diodes Incorporated operates at 5 A per diode with improved forward voltage characteristics (680 mV @ 5 A) but reduced current capacity. This part is suitable only for applications with lower current requirements.

All substitute parts maintain the TO-220-3 package, through-hole mounting, fast recovery speed, and ROHS3 compliance required for direct substitution.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Identical Specifications):

Select DST2060C from Littelfuse Inc. or VT2060G-E3/4W from Vishay General Semiconductor for applications requiring exact electrical equivalence to the MBR1060CT. Both parts maintain 10 A current rating, 60 V voltage rating, Schottky technology, and TO-220-3 packaging. DST2060C offers superior forward voltage performance (645 mV @ 10 A) compared to the original specification (950 mV @ 10 A). VT2060G-E3/4W matches the original forward voltage at 900 mV @ 10 A. Both are ROHS3 compliant and actively manufactured.

For Applications Requiring Higher Current Capacity:

Select DSB30C60PB or DST3060LC for 15 A applications, or DSA60C60PB or DSB60C60PB for 30 A applications. All maintain 60 V voltage rating and TO-220-3 packaging. DST3060LC from Littelfuse provides the lowest forward voltage (550 mV @ 15 A) among 15 A options. DSB60C60PB from IXYS offers the lowest forward voltage (780 mV @ 30 A) among 30 A options and extended junction temperature range (-55°C ~ 150°C).

For Reduced Current Applications:

Select SBR1060CT from Diodes Incorporated only when application current requirements are 5 A or lower. This part offers improved forward voltage (680 mV @ 5 A) and extended lower temperature rating (-65°C minimum) but reduced current capacity.

Compliance and Availability:

All recommended substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and actively manufactured. MBR1060CT-BP from Micro Commercial Co provides an active source for the exact part number with identical electrical specifications and is available in bulk packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use DST2060C as a direct replacement for MBR1060CT?

A: Yes. DST2060C from Littelfuse maintains identical voltage rating (60 V), current rating (10 A), diode configuration (1 pair common cathode), technology (Schottky), package (TO-220-3), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 150°C). Forward voltage is 645 mV @ 10 A, which is lower than the original 950 mV @ 10 A specification, making it suitable for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between MBR1060CTP and MBR1060CT-BP?

A: MBR1060CTP from SMC Diode Solutions is packaged in tube format with unspecified current rating and 700 mV forward voltage @ 5 A. MBR1060CT-BP from Micro Commercial Co is packaged in bulk format with 10 A current rating and 100 µA reverse leakage @ 60 V. MBR1060CT-BP is the more direct equivalent for the original MBR1060CT specification.

Q: Can I use a 15 A rated part (DSB30C60PB or DST3060LC) in place of the 10 A MBR1060CT?

A: Yes. Higher current-rated parts are electrically compatible for applications designed for 10 A operation. The 15 A parts provide additional current margin and typically offer improved forward voltage characteristics. Both DSB30C60PB and DST3060LC maintain 60 V voltage rating, Schottky technology, TO-220-3 packaging, and fast recovery speed.

Q: What is the advantage of DST3060LC over DSB30C60PB for 15 A applications?

A: DST3060LC from Littelfuse offers significantly lower forward voltage (550 mV @ 15 A) compared to DSB30C60PB (780 mV @ 15 A), resulting in reduced power dissipation. However, DST3060LC has a lower maximum junction temperature (125°C) versus DSB30C60PB (150°C). Select based on thermal and power dissipation requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant. The original MBR1060CT from Diodes Incorporated is also ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the difference between Schottky and Super Barrier (SBR) technology in these parts?

A: SBR1060CT uses Super Barrier technology with 5 A current rating and 680 mV forward voltage @ 5 A. The original MBR1060CT and most substitutes use standard Schottky technology with 10 A current rating. Super Barrier technology provides lower forward voltage but at reduced current capacity. SBR1060CT is suitable only for applications with 5 A or lower current requirements.

Q: Can I use a 30 A rated part (DSA60C60PB or DSB60C60PB) in place of the 10 A MBR1060CT?

A: Yes. 30 A rated parts are electrically compatible for 10 A applications and provide substantial current margin. DSA60C60PB offers 850 mV forward voltage @ 30 A with extended junction temperature range (-55°C ~ 175°C). DSB60C60PB offers 780 mV forward voltage @ 30 A with standard junction temperature range (-55°C ~ 150°C). Both maintain 60 V voltage rating and TO-220-3 packaging.

Q: What is the significance of reverse leakage current differences among substitute parts?

A: Reverse leakage current affects power dissipation and circuit performance at maximum reverse voltage. The original MBR1060CT specifies 100 µA @ 60 V. Substitutes range from 100 µA to 1 mA. Higher leakage (such as MBR1060CTP at 1 mA) may impact low-power applications. Lower leakage (such as DST3060LC at 300 µA) is generally preferred for precision circuits.

Q: Is the TO-220-3 package identical across all substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts use TO-220-3 through-hole package. Some suppliers designate the package as TO-220AB, which is equivalent to TO-220-3. Physical dimensions and pin configurations are identical, ensuring direct mechanical compatibility.
