Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MBR2060CTP is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode (mandatory)
• Technology: Schottky (mandatory)
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 60 V (mandatory)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (mandatory)
• Package / Case: TO-220-3 (mandatory)
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C ~ 150°C (mandatory)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): 20A or higher
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: Equal to or lower than 950 mV @ 20 A
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: Equal to or lower than 100 µA @ 60 V
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: direct electrical equivalents (matching all primary and secondary parameters) and functional alternatives (matching primary parameters with acceptable variations in secondary parameters).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Electrical Equivalent:

MBRF2060CT (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation) is the primary direct equivalent to MBR2060CTP. This part maintains identical electrical specifications including 20A average rectified current, 950 mV forward voltage at 20A, and 100 µA reverse leakage at 60V. The component is currently in active production status and is ROHS3 compliant. Package configuration is TO-220-3 Full Pack, Isolated Tab, which is mechanically compatible with the original MBR2060CTP.

Recommended Substitute with Improved Performance:

DSTF4060C (Littelfuse Inc.) is recommended as a primary substitute when improved performance characteristics are acceptable. This part maintains the 20A current rating and 60V reverse voltage specification. The forward voltage is reduced to 620 mV @ 20A, representing a 34% improvement over the original specification. Reverse leakage is increased to 6 mA @ 60V. The component is in active production and ROHS3 compliant.

Alternative Substitutes:

MBRF3060CT (SMC Diode Solutions) and MBRF1060CTL (SMC Diode Solutions) are functional alternatives that maintain the 60V reverse voltage and Schottky technology. These parts exhibit lower forward voltage characteristics and reduced reverse leakage. Current ratings are not specified for these components. Both are in active production status and ROHS3 compliant.

VT2060C-M3/4W (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division) is an automotive-grade alternative with AEC-Q101 qualification. This part is rated for 10A average rectified current, representing a 50% reduction from the original 20A specification. Forward voltage is 650 mV @ 10A. This component is suitable for applications where the reduced current rating is acceptable and automotive qualification is required.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. REACH status varies: MBRF2060CT and DSTF4060C are REACH Unaffected, while MBRF3060CT and MBRF1060CTL are REACH Affected. VT2060C-M3/4W is REACH Unaffected.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MBRF2060CT be used as a direct replacement for MBR2060CTP?

A: Yes. MBRF2060CT maintains identical electrical specifications including 20A average rectified current, 60V reverse voltage, 950 mV forward voltage at 20A, and 100 µA reverse leakage at 60V. The package configuration is TO-220-3 Full Pack, Isolated Tab, which is mechanically compatible. Both components are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Q: What is the difference between TO-220-3 Isolated Tab and TO-220-3 Full Pack, Isolated Tab?

A: Both configurations are TO-220-3 through-hole packages with isolated tabs. The Full Pack designation indicates a complete package assembly. Both are mechanically compatible for through-hole mounting applications.

Q: Is DSTF4060C a suitable substitute if forward voltage reduction is beneficial?

A: DSTF4060C maintains the 20A current rating and 60V reverse voltage specification. The forward voltage is 620 mV @ 20A, compared to 950 mV @ 20A for the original part. Reverse leakage increases to 6 mA @ 60V. The component is in active production and ROHS3 compliant. Suitability depends on circuit requirements for forward voltage and reverse leakage characteristics.

Q: Can VT2060C-M3/4W be used in applications requiring 20A current?

A: No. VT2060C-M3/4W is rated for 10A average rectified current, representing a 50% reduction from the original 20A specification. This component is suitable only for applications where the reduced current rating meets design requirements.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q101 qualification on VT2060C-M3/4W?

A: AEC-Q101 qualification indicates the component meets automotive industry reliability standards. VT2060C-M3/4W is the only substitute part with this automotive-grade qualification. Selection of this component is appropriate for automotive applications requiring this certification.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed (MBRF2060CT, DSTF4060C, MBRF3060CT, VT2060C-M3/4W, and MBRF1060CTL) are ROHS3 compliant. All maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting MBR2060CTP?

A: MBR2060CTP is classified as obsolete. Active substitute parts are required for ongoing production and repair applications. MBRF2060CT is the direct electrical equivalent currently in active production.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain the -55°C ~ 150°C junction operating temperature range specified for the original MBR2060CTP.

Q: What is the difference in reverse leakage between substitute parts?

A: Reverse leakage at 60V varies significantly: MBR2060CTP and MBRF2060CT specify 100 µA; DSTF4060C specifies 6 mA; MBRF3060CT and MBRF1060CTL specify 1 mA; VT2060C-M3/4W specifies 850 µA. Lower reverse leakage is generally preferable in applications sensitive to leakage current.
