MBRA160T3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MBRA160T3 is a Schottky rectifier diode rated for 60 V DC reverse voltage and 1 A average rectified current in a surface mount SMA package (DO-214AC). This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent and substitute parts for ongoing design requirements and procurement needs. The part exhibits fast recovery characteristics with a maximum forward voltage of 510 mV at 1 A and reverse leakage current of 200 µA at 60 V.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MBRA160T3 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Voltage Rating: All substitute parts must maintain a maximum DC reverse voltage (Vr) of 60 V or greater to ensure safe operation within the original design envelope.

Current Rating: The average rectified current (Io) must be 1 A or greater. Parts rated for higher current (2 A, 3 A) are electrically compatible as they provide additional current capacity without compromising circuit function.

Technology: All substitutes employ Schottky rectifier technology, maintaining identical switching characteristics and forward voltage behavior within acceptable ranges.

Package Compatibility: Substitutes are grouped into two package categories: DO-214AC/SMA (direct mechanical interchange) and SOD-128 (electrical equivalent with different footprint).

Speed Characteristics: All substitutes maintain fast recovery specifications (≤ 500ns, > 200mA) consistent with the original part.

Compliance Status: Active substitutes are RoHS3 compliant, addressing regulatory requirements that the obsolete MBRA160T3 does not meet.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Replacement (Same Electrical and Mechanical Specifications):

MBRA160T3G is the primary direct replacement for MBRA160T3. Both parts are manufactured by onsemi, share identical electrical ratings (60 V, 1 A, 510 mV forward voltage), and use the same DO-214AC/SMA package. MBRA160T3G is active and RoHS3 compliant, addressing the obsolescence and regulatory compliance issues of the original part.

Equivalent Parts with Same Package (DO-214AC/SMA):

B160-13-F, B160Q-13-F, SS16, and SS16-E3/61T are electrically equivalent 60 V, 1 A Schottky diodes in the same SMA package. These parts are active and RoHS3 compliant. Forward voltage specifications range from 700 mV to 750 mV at 1 A, which is higher than the original 510 mV but remains within acceptable operating parameters for most applications. B160Q-13-F includes AEC-Q101 automotive qualification.

Higher Current Capacity Alternatives (Same Package):

B260A-13-F, B260AQ-13-F, B360A-13-F, and B360AM-13-F provide 2 A and 3 A current ratings respectively, while maintaining 60 V reverse voltage and DO-214AC/SMA packaging. These parts are suitable for applications requiring increased current capacity. B260AQ-13-F and B360A-13-F/B360AM-13-F include AEC-Q101 automotive qualification.

Alternative Package (Electrical Equivalent):

PMEG6010EP,115 is a 60 V, 1 A Schottky diode manufactured by Nexperia in SOD-128 package. This part exhibits superior electrical characteristics with 530 mV forward voltage and 60 µA reverse leakage current. The SOD-128 package requires different PCB footprint and layout considerations compared to the SMA package.

Compliance and Availability:

All recommended substitutes are active products with RoHS3 compliance. MBRA160T3G offers the highest inventory availability (90,300 pcs) among direct replacements. Diodes Incorporated parts (B160-13-F, B260A-13-F, B360A-13-F) provide substantial inventory levels (245,300 pcs, 155,200 pcs, and 285,400 pcs respectively).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MBRA160T3G be used as a direct replacement for MBRA160T3?

A: Yes. MBRA160T3G is the direct equivalent manufactured by onsemi with identical electrical specifications (60 V, 1 A, 510 mV forward voltage) and the same DO-214AC/SMA package. MBRA160T3G is active and RoHS3 compliant, addressing the obsolescence status of MBRA160T3.

Q: What is the difference between 1 A, 2 A, and 3 A rated parts?

A: The current rating indicates the maximum average rectified current the diode can conduct. A 1 A part (MBRA160T3, B160-13-F) is suitable for circuits requiring up to 1 A. A 2 A part (B260A-13-F) or 3 A part (B360A-13-F) can handle higher currents. Higher-rated parts are electrically compatible with lower-current designs and provide additional margin.

Q: Are there differences in forward voltage between substitute parts?

A: Yes. The original MBRA160T3 specifies 510 mV forward voltage at 1 A. Substitute parts range from 530 mV (PMEG6010EP,115) to 750 mV (SS16-E3/61T) at 1 A. These variations are within normal Schottky diode tolerances and do not prevent substitution in most applications. Designs with tight voltage budgets should verify forward voltage specifications.

Q: Can I use a part with a different package (SOD-128 instead of SMA)?

A: PMEG6010EP,115 is electrically equivalent but uses SOD-128 package instead of DO-214AC/SMA. This requires different PCB footprint and layout. Mechanical compatibility cannot be assumed without PCB redesign.

Q: What does RoHS3 compliance mean?

A: RoHS3 compliance indicates the part meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive requirements, restricting lead and other hazardous materials. The original MBRA160T3 is RoHS non-compliant. All recommended substitutes are RoHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Q: Are automotive-qualified parts necessary for my application?

A: Automotive-qualified parts (B160Q-13-F, B260AQ-13-F, B360A-13-F, B360AM-13-F) carry AEC-Q101 certification, indicating qualification for automotive environments. These parts are required for automotive applications but are optional for general industrial or consumer applications.

Q: What is the significance of reverse leakage current differences?

A: Reverse leakage current (Ir) ranges from 60 µA to 500 µA across substitute parts. Lower leakage current (PMEG6010EP,115 at 60 µA) indicates better reverse blocking performance. Higher leakage (B160-13-F at 500 µA) is still acceptable for most applications but may affect low-power circuit performance.

Q: Which substitute offers the best overall compatibility?

A: MBRA160T3G provides the highest compatibility as the direct onsemi equivalent with identical specifications and same package. For alternative manufacturers, B160-13-F (Diodes Incorporated) and SS16-E3/61T (Vishay) offer established reliability with high inventory availability and RoHS3 compliance.
