Mandatory Matching Criteria:

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Technology: Schottky
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 60 V minimum
• Package / Case: TO-247-3
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)

Allowable Variation Criteria:

• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): Equal to or greater than 20 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: Within acceptable forward voltage drop range for Schottky rectifiers
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: Within acceptable leakage specifications
• Operating Temperature - Junction: Minimum -55°C to maximum 150°C or higher

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MBR2060WT (Direct Substitute - SMC Diode Solutions)

The MBR2060WT is classified as a direct substitute based on matching diode configuration, technology, voltage rating, package type, and thermal specifications. Both devices share the same base product number (MBR2060) and are manufactured to equivalent electrical standards. The MBR2060WT exhibits lower forward voltage (800 mV @ 10 A) compared to the main part, indicating improved efficiency characteristics. However, the average rectified current specification is not provided for the MBR2060WT. The MBR2060WT carries ROHS3 compliance with REACH Affected status, whereas the main part is REACH Unaffected. Both devices maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification and Active product status.

STPS3060CW (Similar Substitute - STMicroelectronics)

The STPS3060CW is classified as a similar substitute with current rating of 15 A per diode, which is below the 20 A specification of the main part. All other critical parameters align: 60 V reverse voltage, Schottky technology, 1 Pair Common Cathode configuration, TO-247-3 package, and fast recovery speed. Forward voltage is 850 mV @ 15 A. Reverse leakage is 150 µA @ 60 V. The device is ROHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and maintains MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification. This substitute is suitable for applications where current demand does not exceed 15 A per diode.

STPS61L60CW (Similar Substitute - STMicroelectronics)

The STPS61L60CW is classified as a similar substitute with current rating of 30 A per diode, which exceeds the 20 A specification of the main part. All critical parameters align: 60 V reverse voltage, Schottky technology, 1 Pair Common Cathode configuration, TO-247-3 package, and fast recovery speed. Forward voltage is 660 mV @ 30 A, indicating superior efficiency at higher current levels. Reverse leakage is 800 µA @ 60 V. The device is ROHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and maintains MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification. This substitute provides higher current capacity for applications requiring increased current handling.

All three substitute parts maintain Active product status and full compliance with RoHS3 and MSL 1 requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MBR2060WT be used as a direct replacement for the MBR2060PT?

A: The MBR2060WT is classified as a direct substitute. Both devices share identical diode configuration, voltage rating, package type, and thermal operating range. The MBR2060WT is manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions and exhibits lower forward voltage characteristics. Direct pin-to-pin and functional compatibility is established.

Q: What is the difference between the STPS3060CW and STPS61L60CW substitutes?

A: The primary difference is current rating. The STPS3060CW is rated for 15 A per diode, while the STPS61L60CW is rated for 30 A per diode. Both maintain the 60 V reverse voltage specification and TO-247-3 package. The STPS61L60CW exhibits lower forward voltage (660 mV @ 30 A) compared to the STPS3060CW (850 mV @ 15 A), indicating improved efficiency at higher current levels. Selection depends on application current requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The MBR2060PT, MBR2060WT, STPS3060CW, and STPS61L60CW are all ROHS3 Compliant. All devices maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: What is the significance of the TO-247-3 package specification?

A: The TO-247-3 package is a through-hole configuration with three leads, standardized for high-current rectifier diodes. All substitute parts maintain this identical package specification, ensuring mechanical compatibility with existing PCB layouts and thermal management designs. No board redesign is required when substituting between these parts.

Q: Can the STPS3060CW be used in applications designed for the MBR2060PT?

A: The STPS3060CW can be used in applications where the maximum current requirement does not exceed 15 A per diode. The 15 A rating is below the 20 A specification of the main part. For applications requiring the full 20 A capacity, the STPS3060CW is not suitable. The STPS61L60CW, rated for 30 A, is suitable for all applications designed for the 20 A MBR2060PT.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these devices?

A: The MBR2060PT and MBR2060WT specify -55°C to 150°C junction operating temperature. The STPS3060CW and STPS61L60CW specify 150°C maximum junction temperature. All devices are suitable for industrial temperature ranges. Specific minimum operating temperature for the STMicroelectronics devices is not provided in the parameter set.

Q: How do forward voltage characteristics compare across the substitute parts?

A: Forward voltage varies with current rating. The MBR2060PT specifies 950 mV @ 20 A. The MBR2060WT specifies 800 mV @ 10 A. The STPS3060CW specifies 850 mV @ 15 A. The STPS61L60CW specifies 660 mV @ 30 A. Lower forward voltage indicates improved efficiency and reduced power dissipation. Forward voltage comparison must account for the different current test points specified by each manufacturer.

Q: What is the reverse leakage specification, and how does it affect substitution?

A: Reverse leakage is the current flowing through the diode in the reverse-biased condition. The MBR2060PT specifies 100 µA @ 60 V. The MBR2060WT specifies 1 mA @ 60 V. The STPS3060CW specifies 150 µA @ 60 V. The STPS61L60CW specifies 800 µA @ 60 V. Higher reverse leakage increases power dissipation and heat generation. Applications sensitive to leakage current should prioritize parts with lower reverse leakage specifications.

Q: Are there any REACH or compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: The MBR2060PT and both STMicroelectronics parts (STPS3060CW, STPS61L60CW) are REACH Unaffected. The MBR2060WT is REACH Affected. All parts are ROHS3 Compliant. Applications subject to REACH compliance requirements should verify the specific regulatory status applicable to their region and end-use application.
