Part Overview

The MBR360RL is a Schottky rectifier diode rated for 60 V DC reverse voltage and 3 A average rectified current in an axial through-hole package (DO-201AA/DO-27). This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of equivalent and substitute parts for ongoing design requirements and procurement needs. The MBR360RL features fast recovery characteristics suitable for high-frequency rectification applications with a maximum forward voltage of 740 mV at 3 A and operating temperature range of -65°C to 150°C.

Primary Substitution Criteria:

Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 60 V minimum
Current - Average Rectified (Io): 3 A minimum
Technology: Schottky
Mounting Type: Through Hole
Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

Package / Case: DO-201AA, DO-201AD, or DO-15 axial configurations
Operating Temperature Range: Minimum -55°C to 125°C or better
Forward Voltage (Vf): Typically 600–740 mV @ 3 A

Parts are grouped into three categories based on substitution compatibility:

Direct Equivalents: Parts with identical electrical ratings, same package family, and active product status (MBR360RLG).

Full Electrical Equivalents: Parts meeting or exceeding all electrical specifications with compatible through-hole axial packages but different package designations (SB360-E3/54, SB360-E3/73, SB360E-G, SR306 series, STPS3L60Q, STPS3L60QRL).

Partial Equivalents: Parts meeting voltage and current specifications but with reduced current rating or different package form factor (STPS2L60 – 2 A rated, DO-41 package).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Replacement (Recommended for Obsolete Part Mitigation):

MBR360RLG is the primary direct replacement for MBR360RL. Both parts are manufactured by onsemi with identical electrical specifications (60 V, 3 A, 740 mV forward voltage). MBR360RLG is active in production and ROHS3 compliant, addressing the obsolescence and compliance limitations of the original MBR360RL. The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape vs. bulk), which does not affect electrical performance.

Full Electrical Equivalents (Active Status, RoHS Compliant):

SB360-E3/54, SB360-E3/73 (Vishay), and SB360E-G (Comchip Technology) meet all electrical requirements with 60 V reverse voltage and 3 A current rating. These parts feature slightly lower forward voltage (680–700 mV) and reduced reverse leakage (500 µA), representing improved performance characteristics. All are ROHS3 compliant and active in production. Package designation is DO-201AD, which is mechanically compatible with DO-201AA applications.

STPS3L60Q and STPS3L60QRL (STMicroelectronics) provide superior electrical performance with 60 V rating, 3 A current, and significantly lower forward voltage (620 mV) and reverse leakage (60 µA). These parts use DO-15 (DO-204AC) package format, which is a smaller axial configuration. Both are ROHS3 compliant and active. Package change requires mechanical board layout verification.

SR306-TP (Micro Commercial Co) meets electrical specifications with 60 V, 3 A rating and 720 mV forward voltage. This part is ROHS3 compliant and active. Operating temperature range is -55°C to 125°C, which is narrower than the original -65°C to 150°C specification.

Partial Equivalents (Current Rating Limitation):

STPS2L60 (STMicroelectronics) is rated for 2 A average rectified current, which is below the 3 A requirement of MBR360RL. This part is suitable only for applications where actual circuit current does not exceed 2 A. The part offers superior forward voltage (600 mV) and reverse leakage (100 µA) characteristics. Package is DO-41, a smaller axial form factor.

Compliance Considerations:

The original MBR360RL is RoHS non-compliant. All recommended substitutes are ROHS3 compliant or unaffected by REACH regulations, supporting modern procurement and environmental compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MBR360RLG be used as a direct replacement for MBR360RL?

A: Yes. MBR360RLG is the direct equivalent with identical electrical specifications (60 V, 3 A, 740 mV forward voltage, -65°C to 150°C operating range). The primary difference is packaging format (Cut Tape vs. bulk), which does not affect electrical performance. MBR360RLG is active in production and ROHS3 compliant, addressing obsolescence and compliance concerns.

Q: What is the difference between DO-201AA and DO-201AD packages?

A: Both are axial through-hole packages with identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility for standard PCB mounting. DO-201AA and DO-201AD refer to different package designations used by different manufacturers for the same physical form factor. Parts specified with either designation are mechanically interchangeable in standard through-hole applications.

Q: Can STPS3L60Q replace MBR360RL in all applications?

A: STPS3L60Q meets all electrical requirements (60 V, 3 A, fast recovery) and offers superior performance (620 mV forward voltage, 60 µA reverse leakage). The primary consideration is package form factor: STPS3L60Q uses DO-15 (DO-204AC), a smaller axial package compared to DO-201AA/DO-27. Physical board layout must accommodate the different package size. Electrical performance is fully compatible.

Q: Is STPS2L60 suitable for MBR360RL replacement?

A: STPS2L60 is suitable only if the actual circuit current requirement does not exceed 2 A. The part is rated for 2 A average rectified current, below the 3 A specification of MBR360RL. If the application requires the full 3 A capability, STPS2L60 is not appropriate. For applications with 2 A or lower current requirements, STPS2L60 offers superior electrical characteristics (600 mV forward voltage, 100 µA reverse leakage).

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: (1) Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) minimum 60 V, (2) Current - Average Rectified (Io) minimum 3 A, (3) Technology: Schottky, (4) Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, (5) Mounting Type: Through Hole. Forward voltage and reverse leakage variations within the specified ranges do not prevent substitution. Package form factor (DO-201AA, DO-201AD, DO-15) affects physical board layout but not electrical compatibility.

Q: Are SR306 series parts (SR306-AP, SR306-BP, SR306-TP) equivalent to MBR360RL?

A: SR306 series parts meet the electrical specifications (60 V, 3 A, 720 mV forward voltage) and are active in production. SR306-TP is ROHS3 compliant. The operating temperature range is -55°C to 125°C, which is narrower than MBR360RL's -65°C to 150°C. If the application operates within -55°C to 125°C, SR306-TP is a suitable equivalent. For applications requiring the full -65°C to 150°C range, other substitutes are preferred.

Q: What is the advantage of Vishay SB360-E3 series over MBR360RL?

A: SB360-E3/54 and SB360-E3/73 provide identical voltage and current ratings (60 V, 3 A) with improved electrical characteristics: lower forward voltage (680 mV vs. 740 mV) and reduced reverse leakage (500 µA vs. 600 µA). Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and active in production, addressing obsolescence and compliance issues. Operating temperature range matches the original (-65°C to 150°C).

Q: Does forward voltage variation affect substitution suitability?

A: Forward voltage variations within the specified ranges (600–740 mV @ 3 A) do not prevent substitution. Lower forward voltage (e.g., 620 mV in STPS3L60Q) represents improved efficiency and reduced power dissipation. Higher forward voltage (e.g., 740 mV in MBR360RLG) is within acceptable limits. Circuit design must account for the specific forward voltage of the selected part, but all listed substitutes are electrically compatible.

Q: What packaging considerations apply when selecting a substitute?

A: The original MBR360RL uses DO-201AA/DO-27 axial package. Substitutes use DO-201AD (mechanically equivalent), DO-15 (smaller axial), or DO-41 (smaller axial). DO-201AD is directly compatible with DO-201AA mounting. DO-15 and DO-41 packages are physically smaller and require verification that PCB layout and mechanical clearances accommodate the different form factor. Electrical performance is independent of package selection.
