MBR6030PT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MBR6030PT is a Schottky diode array manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, configured as a 1 Pair Common Cathode rectifier with a maximum reverse voltage rating of 30 V and average rectified current of 60 A per diode. The device is packaged in a TO-3P-3 (SC-65-3) through-hole configuration and is classified as Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance can be maintained within the specified parameter tolerances while accommodating different packaging or thermal requirements in system design.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MBR6030PT is determined by equivalence in the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Equivalence Parameters:

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Technology: Schottky
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 30 V
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): Substitute must meet or exceed 60 A requirement
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: Lower forward voltage is acceptable
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: Higher leakage is acceptable within design margins
• Operating Temperature - Junction: Maximum rating must support application requirements
• Package / Case: Different through-hole packages are acceptable if mechanical fit is verified

The STPS60L30CW meets the mandatory equivalence parameters. However, the current rating of 30 A per diode is below the 60 A specification of the MBR6030PT, requiring circuit-level evaluation for current distribution capability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MBR6030PT Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring 60 A average rectified current per diode at 30 V reverse voltage
• Systems with thermal management supporting -55°C to 150°C junction temperature range
• TO-3P-3 package mechanical compatibility with PCB layout
• Primary selection when current capacity is the limiting design factor

STPS60L30CW Selection Criteria:

• Applications with current requirements of 30 A or less per diode at 30 V reverse voltage
• Systems where lower forward voltage drop (460 mV @ 30 A vs. 750 mV @ 60 A) provides thermal or efficiency benefits
• TO-247-3 package mechanical compatibility with PCB layout
• Secondary selection when current capacity can be distributed across multiple devices or when lower forward voltage is advantageous

Both parts maintain Active product status and full RoHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts is determined by circuit current requirements and mechanical package constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can STPS60L30CW directly replace MBR6030PT in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is limited to applications where the circuit current requirement does not exceed 30 A per diode. The STPS60L30CW is rated for 30 A average rectified current, while the MBR6030PT is rated for 60 A. Applications designed for the full 60 A capacity of the MBR6030PT require circuit redesign or parallel device configuration to use the STPS60L30CW.

Q: What are the package differences between MBR6030PT and STPS60L30CW?

A: The MBR6030PT uses TO-3P-3 (SC-65-3) packaging, while the STPS60L30CW uses TO-247-3 packaging. Both are through-hole configurations. PCB layout and mechanical mounting must be verified for compatibility with the specific package footprint.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the MBR6030PT and STPS60L30CW are ROHS3 Compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: How do forward voltage characteristics compare?

A: The MBR6030PT specifies 750 mV maximum forward voltage at 60 A, while the STPS60L30CW specifies 460 mV maximum forward voltage at 30 A. Forward voltage comparison at equivalent current levels requires detailed datasheet analysis.

Q: What is the reverse leakage current difference?

A: The MBR6030PT specifies 1 mA reverse leakage at 30 V, while the STPS60L30CW specifies 4 mA reverse leakage at 30 V. Applications sensitive to leakage current should account for this 3 mA difference.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the full -55°C to 150°C temperature range?

A: The MBR6030PT supports -55°C to 150°C junction temperature. The STPS60L30CW specifies 150°C maximum junction temperature without a stated minimum. Applications requiring operation below 0°C should verify STPS60L30CW low-temperature performance against specific requirements.
