MBR3060RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MBR3060RL is a Schottky rectifier diode manufactured by onsemi, rated for 60 V DC reverse voltage and 3 A average rectified current in an axial through-hole package (DO-201AD). This component is classified as obsolete product status. Due to its obsolete designation, equivalent and substitute parts from active manufacturers are necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Substitute diodes must maintain electrical compatibility across voltage, current, and thermal specifications while accommodating available packaging options.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MBR3060RL is determined by the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): Must equal or exceed 60 V
Current - Average Rectified (Io): Must equal or exceed 3 A
Technology: Schottky diode type
Mounting Type: Through Hole
Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
Operating Temperature Range: Must accommodate -65°C to 150°C junction temperature

Secondary Considerations:

Package / Case: DO-201AD axial preferred; DO-204AL (DO-41) axial acceptable with mechanical adaptation
Forward Voltage (Vf): Lower values indicate improved efficiency
Reverse Leakage Current: Lower values indicate reduced power dissipation

The substitute parts listed are grouped into two categories based on current rating:

Category 1 - Lower Current Rating (1 A to 2 A): Parts with current ratings below the 3 A requirement of the MBR3060RL. These are suitable only for applications where actual circuit current demand does not exceed the substitute part's rating.

Category 2 - Equivalent or Higher Current Rating (2 A to 3 A): Parts with current ratings at or above 3 A, providing direct functional equivalence.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Functional Replacement (3 A Current Requirement):

STPS2L60 is the only substitute part with a current rating of 2 A, which falls below the 3 A requirement of the MBR3060RL. No substitute part in the provided list meets or exceeds the 3 A current specification. Applications requiring the full 3 A capacity of the MBR3060RL cannot be directly substituted from the available alternatives without circuit redesign or parallel configuration.

For Reduced Current Applications (≤ 2 A):

STPS2L60 (STMicroelectronics) is recommended as the primary substitute for applications with maximum current demand of 2 A. This part offers:

Equivalent 60 V reverse voltage rating
Lower forward voltage (600 mV @ 2 A) compared to the main part (620 mV @ 3 A)
ROHS3 compliance for regulatory requirements
Active product status ensuring long-term availability

SR206-TP (Micro Commercial Co) provides an alternative 2 A option with ROHS3 compliance and active status, though with higher forward voltage (700 mV @ 2 A) and reverse leakage current (1 mA @ 60 V).

For Reduced Current Applications (≤ 1 A):

STPS1L60RL (STMicroelectronics) is recommended for applications with maximum current demand of 1 A. This part offers:

Equivalent 60 V reverse voltage rating
Lowest forward voltage among 1 A alternatives (570 mV @ 1 A)
Lowest reverse leakage current (50 µA @ 60 V)
ROHS3 compliance
Active product status

SB160-T (Diodes Incorporated) and SR106-TP (Micro Commercial Co) provide alternative 1 A options with ROHS3 compliance and active status, though with higher forward voltage (700 mV @ 1 A) and reverse leakage current (500 µA @ 60 V).

Compliance Considerations:

All recommended active substitutes (STPS2L60, SR206-TP, SB160-T, SR106-TP, STPS1L60RL) are ROHS3 compliant, addressing regulatory requirements not met by the obsolete MBR3060RL. The original part and alternatives 1N6759 and DSB1A60 are RoHS non-compliant.

Package Compatibility:

All substitute parts use DO-204AL (DO-41) axial packaging, which is mechanically compatible with the original DO-201AD axial package in through-hole applications. No additional mechanical adaptation is required beyond standard PCB footprint considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can STPS2L60 or SR206-TP directly replace MBR3060RL in all applications?

A: No. STPS2L60 and SR206-TP are rated for 2 A maximum current, while MBR3060RL is rated for 3 A. These substitutes are suitable only for applications where the actual circuit current does not exceed 2 A. Applications requiring the full 3 A capacity require alternative solutions such as parallel diode configurations or selection of higher-rated components not listed in this reference.

Q: What is the difference between DO-201AD and DO-204AL (DO-41) packages?

A: Both are axial through-hole packages for diodes. DO-201AD is the original package for MBR3060RL. DO-204AL (also designated DO-41) is the standard package for most substitute parts. Both packages are mechanically compatible in through-hole PCB applications with appropriate footprint design.

Q: Why is STPS1L60RL recommended over SB160-T for 1 A applications?

A: STPS1L60RL offers superior electrical characteristics: forward voltage of 570 mV @ 1 A compared to 700 mV @ 1 A for SB160-T, and reverse leakage current of 50 µA @ 60 V compared to 500 µA @ 60 V. These lower values result in reduced power dissipation and improved efficiency. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and active status.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. STPS2L60, SR206-TP, SB160-T, SR106-TP, and STPS1L60RL are ROHS3 compliant. However, 1N6759 and DSB1A60 are RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, select only from the ROHS3 compliant alternatives.

Q: What is the significance of "Active" product status for substitute parts?

A: Active product status indicates that the manufacturer continues production and supports the component. This ensures long-term availability, ongoing technical support, and stable pricing. The MBR3060RL is obsolete, meaning onsemi no longer manufactures it, making substitution necessary for new designs and continued production.

Q: Can I use a 1 A rated diode in place of a 3 A rated diode?

A: Only if the actual circuit current does not exceed 1 A. Using a lower-rated component in a higher-current application results in excessive power dissipation, thermal stress, and potential component failure. Circuit current requirements must be verified before selecting a substitute part with reduced current rating.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for substitute parts?

A: STPS2L60 and STPS1L60RL specify maximum junction temperature of 150°C. SB160-T and SR106-TP specify -55°C to 125°C. SR206-TP specifies -50°C to 125°C. The original MBR3060RL specifies -65°C to 150°C. Verify that the selected substitute part's temperature range accommodates the application's thermal environment.

Q: How do forward voltage differences affect circuit performance?

A: Forward voltage (Vf) determines the voltage drop across the diode during conduction. Lower Vf values result in reduced power dissipation and improved efficiency. STPS1L60RL (570 mV @ 1 A) dissipates less power than SB160-T (700 mV @ 1 A). For high-current or thermally constrained applications, lower Vf is advantageous.

Q: What does reverse leakage current indicate?

A: Reverse leakage current (Ir) is the small current that flows through the diode when reverse biased. Lower values indicate better diode quality and reduced power dissipation in the reverse-biased state. STPS1L60RL (50 µA @ 60 V) has significantly lower leakage than SB160-T (500 µA @ 60 V), making it preferable for low-power or precision applications.
