MBR4060PTH Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MBR4060PTH is a Schottky diode array manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, configured as a 1 Pair Common Cathode with a maximum reverse voltage rating of 60 V and average rectified current of 40 A per diode. The device is housed in a TO-247-3 through-hole package and is qualified to AEC-Q101 automotive standards.

This part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, necessitating identification of equivalent substitute components that maintain functional compatibility within system designs. Substitute parts must preserve the core electrical characteristics and mechanical form factor to ensure direct replacement capability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MBR4060PTH is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Criteria:

• 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 Consideration: The MBR4060PTH is rated for 40 A average rectified current per diode. Substitute parts with lower current ratings (15 A or 30 A) are classified as functional substitutes for applications where the full 40 A capacity is not required. Substitutes with equal or higher current ratings provide direct replacement capability.

Compliance and Status: Substitute parts are evaluated based on product status (Active, Obsolete, or Discontinued), RoHS compliance, and automotive qualification where applicable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

STPS61L60CW (Primary Substitute)

The STPS61L60CW is the recommended substitute for the MBR4060PTH. This STMicroelectronics component matches all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters: 60 V reverse voltage rating, 1 Pair Common Cathode configuration, Schottky technology, fast recovery speed, and TO-247-3 through-hole package. The STPS61L60CW is rated for 30 A average rectified current per diode, providing adequate capacity for applications not requiring the full 40 A specification of the original part. The device is currently in Active product status with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory conformance.

STPS3060CW (Secondary Substitute)

The STPS3060CW is an alternative substitute manufactured by STMicroelectronics. This part maintains all mandatory parameter matches with the MBR4060PTH and is rated for 15 A average rectified current per diode. The STPS3060CW is in Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. This substitute is suitable for applications where current requirements do not exceed 15 A per diode.

STPS30L60CW (Tertiary Substitute)

The STPS30L60CW, manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division, matches all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters with a 15 A average rectified current rating. This part is classified as Obsolete and carries RoHS non-compliant status. Use of this substitute is not recommended for new designs or applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the STPS61L60CW directly replace the MBR4060PTH in all applications?

A: The STPS61L60CW provides direct mechanical and electrical compatibility for applications where the average rectified current requirement does not exceed 30 A per diode. The MBR4060PTH is rated for 40 A per diode; applications requiring the full 40 A capacity must evaluate whether the 30 A rating of the STPS61L60CW is sufficient for the specific circuit design.

Q: What is the significance of the "1 Pair Common Cathode" configuration?

A: This configuration indicates the diode array contains two diodes with a shared cathode terminal. Substitutes must maintain this identical configuration to ensure pin-compatible operation within the circuit.

Q: Are all substitute parts housed in the same TO-247-3 package?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts use the TO-247-3 through-hole package, ensuring mechanical compatibility and identical PCB footprint with the MBR4060PTH.

Q: Why is the STPS30L60CW not recommended despite parameter compatibility?

A: The STPS30L60CW is classified as Obsolete and carries RoHS non-compliant status. These factors limit availability and create regulatory compliance concerns for applications subject to RoHS directives.

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

A: Both parts are manufactured by STMicroelectronics and are in Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. The primary difference is the average rectified current rating: STPS61L60CW is rated for 30 A per diode, while STPS3060CW is rated for 15 A per diode. Selection between these two substitutes depends on the circuit's current requirements.

Q: Does the MBR4060PTH have automotive qualification?

A: Yes. The MBR4060PTH is qualified to AEC-Q101 automotive standards and carries an Automotive grade designation. Substitute parts should be evaluated for automotive qualification if the application requires this certification.
