MBR16100 C0G Schottky Diode Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MBR16100 C0G is a Schottky rectifier diode rated for 100 V DC reverse voltage and 16 A average rectified current in a TO-220AC through-hole package. This component is designed for fast recovery applications with forward voltage of 850 mV at 16 A and reverse leakage current of 300 µA at 100 V. The MBR16100 C0G variant is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics, necessitating identification of equivalent active alternatives to maintain circuit functionality and supply chain continuity.

The MBR16100 (without C0G designation) manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters and is classified as an active product with current inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MBR16100 (active product) is a direct functional equivalent to the MBR16100 C0G and is suitable for replacement in all applications where the discontinued variant was specified. Both parts share identical electrical ratings, thermal characteristics, and compliance certifications.

Product Status Consideration: The MBR16100 is actively manufactured and maintained in inventory (1327 pieces in stock), whereas the MBR16100 C0G is discontinued. Selection of the active MBR16100 ensures supply chain reliability and long-term availability.

Compliance Status: Both variants maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and identical moisture sensitivity levels, confirming regulatory equivalence for applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Thermal and Electrical Performance: Identical junction temperature operating range (-55°C to 150°C), forward voltage characteristics, reverse leakage specifications, and fast recovery speed parameters confirm functional interchangeability in power conversion, rectification, and switching applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MBR16100 directly replace the MBR16100 C0G in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MBR16100 is electrically and mechanically identical to the MBR16100 C0G across all specified parameters, including voltage rating, current capacity, forward voltage, reverse leakage, and thermal characteristics. The C0G designation refers to a specific product variant that is no longer in production; the base MBR16100 part number is the active equivalent.

Q: Are there any differences in package dimensions or pin configuration?

A: No. Both parts use the TO-220-2 package in TO-220AC supplier configuration. Pin configuration, lead spacing, and mounting hole dimensions are identical, allowing direct PCB compatibility without layout modifications.

Q: What is the significance of the C0G designation on the discontinued part?

A: The C0G designation indicates a specific manufacturing or date code variant. The base MBR16100 part number encompasses the same electrical and mechanical specifications without the variant suffix and is the current production equivalent.

Q: Are compliance certifications maintained with the substitute part?

A: Yes. The MBR16100 maintains ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited) as the discontinued MBR16100 C0G, confirming regulatory equivalence for all applications.

Q: What is the current inventory status of the substitute part?

A: The MBR16100 is actively produced and maintained in stock with 1327 pieces available, compared to the discontinued MBR16100 C0G. This ensures supply chain continuity and eliminates obsolescence risk.

Q: Are the thermal operating ranges identical?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C, confirming thermal performance equivalence in all environmental conditions.

Q: Can the MBR16100 be used in high-frequency switching applications?

A: Yes. Both parts meet the fast recovery speed specification of ≤ 500ns for currents > 200mA (Io), confirming suitability for switching power supplies, inverters, and other fast-switching rectification applications.
