MBR1660 C0G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MBR1660 C0G is a Schottky rectifier diode rated for 60 V DC reverse voltage and 16 A average rectified current in a through-hole TO-220AC package. This component is designed for high-speed rectification applications requiring fast recovery characteristics. The MBR1660 C0G variant manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation has been discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for production and repair applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MBR1660 C0G is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The critical parameters that define substitution eligibility are:

• Voltage Rating: DC reverse voltage must equal or exceed 60 V
• Current Rating: Average rectified current must equal or exceed 16 A
• Forward Voltage Drop: Maximum forward voltage at rated current must not exceed 750 mV @ 16 A
• Recovery Speed: Fast recovery characteristic ≤ 500ns at currents > 200mA
• Reverse Leakage: Maximum reverse leakage current at rated voltage must not exceed 500 µA @ 60 V
• Package: TO-220-2 through-hole configuration required for mechanical and thermal compatibility
• Technology: Schottky diode technology
• Temperature Range: Operating junction temperature range -55°C to 150°C
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance required

Substitute parts must satisfy all electrical parameters within the specified tolerances and maintain identical mechanical packaging to ensure direct replacement capability without circuit board modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MBR1660 (active product status) manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation is the direct equivalent substitute for the discontinued MBR1660 C0G. All electrical parameters, mechanical specifications, and compliance certifications are identical between the two part numbers.

Selection of the active MBR1660 is supported by:

• Identical Electrical Specifications: All voltage, current, and thermal characteristics match exactly
• Identical Package Configuration: TO-220-2 through-hole mounting enables direct board-level substitution
• Compliance Equivalence: Both variants maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status
• Active Availability: The MBR1660 maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability
• Manufacturer Continuity: Both parts originate from Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, ensuring consistent manufacturing standards and quality control

No circuit design modifications, thermal management adjustments, or board layout changes are required when substituting the discontinued MBR1660 C0G with the active MBR1660.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the active MBR1660 directly replace the discontinued MBR1660 C0G without any modifications?

A: Yes. The active MBR1660 is electrically and mechanically identical to the MBR1660 C0G. All voltage ratings, current ratings, forward voltage characteristics, recovery speed, reverse leakage specifications, package configuration, and operating temperature range are equivalent. Direct substitution on the circuit board is possible without design changes.

Q: What are the critical electrical parameters that define substitution eligibility for this Schottky diode?

A: The critical parameters are: DC reverse voltage rating (60 V), average rectified current (16 A), forward voltage drop at rated current (750 mV @ 16 A), fast recovery speed (≤ 500ns), reverse leakage current (500 µA @ 60 V), and operating junction temperature range (-55°C to 150°C).

Q: Is the TO-220-2 package configuration identical between the discontinued and active variants?

A: Yes. Both the MBR1660 C0G and MBR1660 use the TO-220-2 through-hole package. Mechanical dimensions, lead spacing, and thermal interface characteristics are identical, enabling direct board-level replacement without layout modifications.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the two part numbers?

A: No. Both variants maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. Compliance documentation and certifications are equivalent.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution in this case?

A: The MBR1660 C0G has been discontinued at DiGi Electronics. The active MBR1660 provides identical functionality and specifications, ensuring continued component availability for production and repair applications.
