MBR3060PT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MBR3060PT is a Schottky diode array manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, configured as a 1 Pair Common Cathode rectifier with a maximum reverse voltage rating of 60 V and average rectified current of 30 A per diode. The device is packaged in a TO-247-3 through-hole configuration and is classified as Active product status with ROHS3 compliance.

Substitute parts are necessary when the MBR3060PT becomes unavailable from inventory, when alternative manufacturers are required for supply chain diversification, or when design requirements necessitate equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications from different manufacturers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MBR3060PT is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Technology: Schottky
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 60 V
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: TO-247-3

Current Rating Considerations: The MBR3060PT is rated for 30 A average rectified current per diode. Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on current capacity:

1. Full Current Rating Match (30 A): Parts with identical 30 A current ratings provide direct functional equivalence without derating considerations.

2. Reduced Current Rating (15 A): Parts with 15 A current ratings are functionally compatible but operate at half the current capacity of the main part. These substitutes are suitable for applications where the circuit design accommodates the lower current specification.

All substitute parts maintain the 60 V reverse voltage rating, Schottky technology, TO-247-3 package, and through-hole mounting configuration required for mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute - Full Current Rating Match:

STPS61L60CW (STMicroelectronics) is the recommended primary substitute for the MBR3060PT. This part maintains identical electrical specifications including 30 A average rectified current, 60 V reverse voltage rating, and Schottky technology in a TO-247-3 package. Both parts are Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. The STPS61L60CW provides direct functional equivalence without circuit derating requirements.

Secondary Substitutes - Reduced Current Rating:

STPS3060CW (STMicroelectronics) and 30CPQ060 (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division) are functionally compatible substitutes with 15 A average rectified current ratings. Both maintain the 60 V reverse voltage, Schottky technology, and TO-247-3 package configuration. STPS3060CW is Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. The 30CPQ060 is classified as Obsolete product status and RoHS non-compliant, limiting its suitability for new designs and applications requiring regulatory compliance.

Alternative Substitute - Unspecified Current Rating:

MBR3060WT (SMC Diode Solutions) is an Active product with ROHS3 compliance and identical voltage, technology, and package specifications. However, the average rectified current per diode is not specified in the provided data. This part is suitable for applications where current rating verification through the manufacturer datasheet is performed prior to implementation.

Compliance Considerations:

For applications requiring ROHS3 compliance, select from STPS61L60CW, STPS3060CW, MBR3060WT, or MBR3060PT. The 30CPQ060 is RoHS non-compliant and unsuitable for regulated applications.

For applications requiring REACH Unaffected status, STPS61L60CW and STPS3060CW are suitable. MBR3060PT and MBR3060WT are REACH Unaffected and REACH Affected respectively.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can STPS3060CW or 30CPQ060 be used as direct replacements for MBR3060PT in all applications?

A: STPS3060CW and 30CPQ060 are mechanically and electrically compatible in terms of voltage rating, package, and configuration. However, both are rated for 15 A average rectified current compared to the MBR3060PT's 30 A rating. These parts are suitable only for applications where the circuit design accommodates the reduced current specification or where the actual operating current does not exceed 15 A.

Q: What is the difference between the MBR3060PT and MBR3060WT?

A: Both parts share the same base product number (MBR3060) and are manufactured by different suppliers (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation versus SMC Diode Solutions). Both are Active product status, ROHS3 compliant, and packaged in TO-247-3. The MBR3060WT does not specify average rectified current in the provided data. MBR3060PT specifies 30 A while MBR3060WT specifies forward voltage of 770 mV at 15 A.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: All substitute parts are packaged in TO-247-3 through-hole configuration, ensuring mechanical compatibility. Packaging material differs: MBR3060PT is unspecified, MBR3060WT is supplied in Tube, STPS61L60CW is supplied in Tube, STPS3060CW is supplied in Tube, and 30CPQ060 is unspecified. Verify packaging requirements with procurement specifications.

Q: Which substitute part is recommended for new product designs?

A: STPS61L60CW is the recommended substitute for new designs. It maintains full electrical equivalence with 30 A current rating, is Active product status, ROHS3 compliant, and REACH Unaffected. STMicroelectronics is an established manufacturer with consistent long-term product availability.

Q: Can MBR3060PT be substituted with parts rated for lower current if the application only requires 15 A?

A: Yes. If the application circuit design operates at or below 15 A average rectified current, STPS3060CW or 30CPQ060 are electrically compatible. However, 30CPQ060 is Obsolete product status and RoHS non-compliant. STPS3060CW is the preferred choice for 15 A applications due to Active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What are the temperature operating ranges for each substitute?

A: MBR3060PT and 30CPQ060 specify -55°C to 150°C junction operating temperature range. STPS61L60CW, STPS3060CW, and MBR3060WT specify 150°C maximum junction temperature without a minimum specification in the provided data. Verify minimum operating temperature requirements with manufacturer datasheets if operation below -55°C is required.
