MBR360 Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The MBR360 is a Schottky rectifier diode rated for 60 V DC reverse voltage and 3 A average rectified current in a through-hole axial package (DO-201AA/DO-27). This component is classified as obsolete by the original manufacturer (onsemi), necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The MBR360 operates across a junction temperature range of -65°C to 150°C with fast recovery characteristics suitable for rectification and switching applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
Direct Replacement (Highest Compatibility):
MBR360G (onsemi) is the direct successor to the obsolete MBR360. This part maintains identical electrical specifications (60 V, 3 A, 740 mV forward voltage) and mechanical packaging while offering active product status and ROHS3 compliance. MBR360G is the primary recommended substitute for new designs and production continuity.
Active Alternatives with Equivalent Performance:
SB360-E3/54 and SB360-E3/73 (Vishay General Semiconductor) provide full electrical equivalence with 60 V, 3 A ratings and extended temperature range (-65°C to 150°C). Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and available in active production status. Forward voltage is 680 mV, representing a 60 mV reduction from the MBR360 specification, which is within acceptable design margins for rectifier applications.
SB360E-G (Comchip Technology) offers equivalent ratings with 700 mV forward voltage and ROHS3 compliance. This part is suitable for applications where the slightly lower forward voltage of the Vishay alternatives is not required.
MBR360_R2_00001 (Panjit International Inc.) matches the MBR360 electrical specifications exactly, including 740 mV forward voltage and -65°C to 150°C operating range. This part is ROHS3 compliant and active in production.
Acceptable Substitutes with Minor Parameter Variations:
31DQ06 (SMC Diode Solutions) provides 60 V, 3.3 A capability with lower forward voltage (620 mV @ 3 A). The higher current rating and lower forward voltage represent performance improvements suitable for applications with thermal or efficiency constraints. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 150°C.
SR306-TP (Micro Commercial Co) maintains 60 V, 3 A specifications with 720 mV forward voltage and ROHS3 compliance. Operating temperature range is -55°C to 125°C, which is narrower than the MBR360 but suitable for standard industrial applications.
Compliance Considerations:
All recommended substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, addressing environmental and regulatory requirements. The original MBR360 is RoHS non-compliant; substitution with any active alternative automatically resolves this compliance gap. All parts maintain REACH Unaffected or REACH Affected status as specified by individual manufacturers.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can MBR360G be used as a direct replacement for MBR360 in existing designs?
A: Yes. MBR360G is the active production equivalent of the obsolete MBR360, with identical electrical specifications (60 V, 3 A, 740 mV forward voltage) and mechanical packaging. No circuit modifications are required.
Q: What is the difference between DO-201AA and DO-201AD packaging?
A: Both are axial through-hole packages suitable for the MBR360 application. DO-201AA and DO-27 are the original MBR360 package designations. DO-201AD is an equivalent axial package used by alternative manufacturers. All three package types are mechanically and electrically compatible for board-level substitution.
Q: Are there performance differences between the Vishay SB360-E3/54 and SB360-E3/73 variants?
A: No. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with 60 V, 3 A ratings, 680 mV forward voltage, and -65°C to 150°C operating range. The designation suffix indicates different packaging or tape configurations; electrical performance is equivalent.
Q: Why does 31DQ06 have a higher current rating (3.3 A) than the MBR360 (3 A)?
A: The 31DQ06 is rated for 3.3 A average rectified current, which exceeds the MBR360 specification. This part is suitable for applications requiring the MBR360 performance and can accommodate higher current demands within the same 60 V voltage class. The lower forward voltage (620 mV) also provides thermal efficiency benefits.
Q: Can SR306-TP be used in applications requiring the full -65°C to 150°C temperature range of the MBR360?
A: No. SR306-TP is rated for -55°C to 125°C operation, which does not encompass the full MBR360 temperature range. This part is suitable only for applications operating within -55°C to 125°C limits. For designs requiring -65°C minimum or 150°C maximum operation, use MBR360G, SB360-E3/54, SB360-E3/73, or MBR360_R2_00001.
Q: What is the significance of the 600 µA reverse leakage current specification in the MBR360?
A: Reverse leakage current (Ir) at rated reverse voltage (60 V) is a key Schottky diode parameter affecting standby power consumption and circuit performance. The MBR360 specifies 600 µA at 60 V. Substitute parts vary between 50 µA and 2 mA; lower values reduce standby power dissipation, while higher values remain within acceptable rectifier specifications. Selection depends on application power budget requirements.
Q: Is RoHS compliance mandatory for MBR360 substitution?
A: RoHS compliance is determined by application and regulatory requirements. All active substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant, addressing environmental directives applicable to most commercial and industrial applications. The original MBR360 is RoHS non-compliant; substitution with any active alternative automatically achieves compliance.
Q: Can multiple substitute parts be used interchangeably within the same production batch?
A: Yes, provided all selected parts meet the application's electrical and thermal requirements. Parts with identical specifications (MBR360G, MBR360_R2_00001, SB360-E3/54, SB360-E3/73) are fully interchangeable. Parts with minor variations (SB360E-G, 31DQ06, SR306-TP) are interchangeable only if the application design margin accommodates the parameter differences (forward voltage, reverse leakage, temperature range).
Q: What forward voltage tolerance should be assumed for circuit design?
A: Forward voltage specifications provided are maximum values at rated current (3 A). Actual forward voltage varies with temperature and current. Design calculations should use the specified maximum (740 mV for MBR360, 680 mV for Vishay alternatives, 620 mV for 31DQ06) to ensure worst-case circuit performance. Substitute parts with lower forward voltage (680 mV, 620 mV) provide design margin improvement.
