Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MBRD360RL is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Primary Equivalence Criteria:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 60V
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: TO-252-3, DPAK (2 Leads + Tab), SC-63
• Technology: Schottky
• Speed Classification: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 3A or greater
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 600mV or less @ 3A
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -65°C to 150°C or wider range
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 200µA or less @ 60V

Substitute parts are classified into two categories:

Parametric Equivalent: Parts meeting all primary and secondary criteria with identical electrical performance specifications.

Similar Substitute: Parts meeting all primary criteria with minor variations in secondary parameters that remain within acceptable operating ranges for the application.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MBRD360T4G (onsemi) - Parametric Equivalent:

The MBRD360T4G is the direct parametric equivalent to the MBRD360RL. Both parts share identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters: 60V reverse voltage rating, 3A average rectified current, 600mV forward voltage drop at 3A, and matching reverse leakage characteristics. The MBRD360T4G maintains the same operating temperature range (-65°C to 150°C) and fast recovery speed classification. The primary distinction is product status: MBRD360T4G is active and available in production quantities, whereas MBRD360RL is obsolete. MBRD360T4G achieves ROHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs. This part is supplied in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel® packaging formats.

VS-30WQ06FNTR-M3 (Vishay) - Similar Substitute:

The VS-30WQ06FNTR-M3 is a similar substitute from Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. This part meets all primary substitution criteria with identical 60V reverse voltage rating, DPAK surface mount package, and fast recovery speed classification. The VS-30WQ06FNTR-M3 provides enhanced current capability at 3.5A average rectified current, exceeding the MBRD360RL specification. Forward voltage characteristics are comparable at 610mV @ 3A, representing a 10mV increase over the MBRD360RL specification. The reverse leakage current is higher at 2mA @ 60V compared to 200µA, which remains acceptable for most switching applications. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 150°C, providing a narrower lower temperature bound. VS-30WQ06FNTR-M3 is ROHS3 compliant and supplied in Tape & Reel packaging. This part is suitable for applications where the higher current rating and Vishay sourcing are advantageous.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MBRD360T4G be used as a direct replacement for MBRD360RL?

A: Yes. MBRD360T4G is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications. Both parts are rated for 60V reverse voltage, 3A average rectified current, and 600mV forward voltage drop at 3A. The DPAK package and pinout are identical. MBRD360T4G is the recommended replacement due to active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What are the differences between MBRD360T4G and VS-30WQ06FNTR-M3?

A: Both parts are functionally compatible substitutes with identical 60V ratings and DPAK packages. Key differences include: (1) Current rating: VS-30WQ06FNTR-M3 is rated for 3.5A versus 3A for MBRD360T4G; (2) Reverse leakage: VS-30WQ06FNTR-M3 exhibits 2mA @ 60V versus 200µA for MBRD360T4G; (3) Forward voltage: VS-30WQ06FNTR-M3 is 610mV @ 3A versus 600mV for MBRD360T4G; (4) Operating temperature lower limit: VS-30WQ06FNTR-M3 is -40°C versus -65°C for MBRD360T4G; (5) Manufacturer: onsemi versus Vishay.

Q: Are there package compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: No. All three parts use identical TO-252-3 DPAK (2 Leads + Tab) SC-63 packages. PCB footprints and mounting procedures are identical. No layout modifications are required.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: MBRD360T4G is the primary selection for new designs. It provides parametric equivalence to the obsolete MBRD360RL with active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and established supply chain availability. VS-30WQ06FNTR-M3 is an alternative when Vishay sourcing is preferred or when the higher 3.5A current rating provides design margin benefits.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: MBRD360RL is RoHS non-compliant, while both MBRD360T4G and VS-30WQ06FNTR-M3 are ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, MBRD360T4G or VS-30WQ06FNTR-M3 must be used. Both compliant alternatives are electrically compatible with the original design.

Q: Are there thermal performance differences between these parts?

A: Operating temperature ranges differ slightly. MBRD360RL and MBRD360T4G both support -65°C to 150°C junction temperature operation. VS-30WQ06FNTR-M3 supports -40°C to 150°C. For applications requiring operation below -40°C, MBRD360T4G is required. For standard commercial temperature ranges, all three parts are equivalent.

Q: How do reverse leakage characteristics affect circuit performance?

A: MBRD360RL and MBRD360T4G both specify 200µA reverse leakage @ 60V. VS-30WQ06FNTR-M3 specifies 2mA, representing a 10-fold increase. In most switching applications, this difference is negligible. In precision analog circuits or applications with stringent leakage requirements, MBRD360T4G is preferred.
