Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MBRF15150CTHC0G are selected based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. All substitute parts maintain the following core parameters:

Fixed Compatibility Parameters:

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Technology: Schottky
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 150 V
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C to 150°C
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: TO-220-3 Full Pack, Isolated Tab
• Supplier Device Package: ITO-220AB
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

Variable Parameters (Substitution Basis):

• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): 5 A, 10 A, 15 A, or 20 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: Varies by current rating
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: Varies by current rating
• Manufacturer: Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation or Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division
• Series: Standard or TMBS®

Substitute parts are grouped by current rating. The MBRF15150CTHC0G operates at 15 A, making it directly equivalent to the VF30150C-E3/4W (15 A rating). Parts with lower current ratings (5 A, 10 A) are suitable for applications with reduced current requirements. Parts with higher current ratings (20 A) provide increased current capacity for higher-demand applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (15 A Rating): The VF30150C-E3/4W is the direct electrical equivalent to the MBRF15150CTHC0G. Both devices operate at 15 A average rectified current per diode with identical 150 V reverse voltage rating, fast recovery speed, and TO-220-3 isolated tab packaging. The VF30150C-E3/4W is manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division and carries ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1, and REACH Unaffected status. This part is active in production with 20,978 units in stock.

Lower Current Alternatives (5 A and 10 A Ratings): The VF10150C-E3/4W (5 A) and VF20150C-E3/4W or VF20150C-M3/4W (10 A) are suitable for applications with reduced current requirements. These parts maintain all core electrical and mechanical compatibility parameters. The 10 A variants are available in both E3 and M3 packaging designations. All three lower-current alternatives are active products with adequate inventory.

Higher Current Alternative (20 A Rating): The VF40150C-E3/4W and VF40150C-M3/4W (20 A) provide increased current capacity for applications exceeding 15 A requirements. These parts maintain identical voltage ratings, package form factor, and compliance certifications. Both 20 A variants are active in production.

Compliance and Qualification: All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity), and are REACH unaffected. The MBRF15150CTHC0G carries AEC-Q101 automotive grade qualification; substitute parts from Vishay do not list this qualification in the provided data. Applications requiring automotive qualification should confirm AEC-Q101 status with the manufacturer before substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the VF30150C-E3/4W directly replace the MBRF15150CTHC0G?

A: Yes. The VF30150C-E3/4W is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both devices are configured as 1 pair common cathode Schottky diodes with 150 V reverse voltage rating, 15 A average rectified current per diode, fast recovery speed ≤ 500ns, and TO-220-3 isolated tab packaging. Both are active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Q: What is the difference between the E3 and M3 packaging designations?

A: The provided data does not specify technical differences between E3 and M3 designations. Both VF20150C-E3/4W and VF20150C-M3/4W share identical electrical specifications (10 A, 150 V, 1.2 V forward voltage @ 10 A). Both are packaged in Tube format and are active products. Packaging designation differences should be confirmed with the manufacturer.

Q: Can I use a 10 A part (VF20150C-E3/4W) in place of the 15 A MBRF15150CTHC0G?

A: The VF20150C-E3/4W is rated for 10 A average rectified current per diode, while the MBRF15150CTHC0G is rated for 15 A. Substitution is only appropriate if the application circuit operates at or below 10 A. Exceeding the rated current of the substitute part will result in device failure.

Q: Can I use a 20 A part (VF40150C-E3/4W) in place of the 15 A MBRF15150CTHC0G?

A: Yes. The VF40150C-E3/4W is rated for 20 A average rectified current per diode, exceeding the 15 A requirement of the MBRF15150CTHC0G. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are compatible. The higher current rating provides additional design margin.

Q: Are all substitute parts automotive qualified?

A: The MBRF15150CTHC0G carries AEC-Q101 automotive grade qualification. The provided data for Vishay substitute parts does not list AEC-Q101 qualification. Applications requiring automotive qualification should verify this certification with Vishay before substitution.

Q: What is the difference in forward voltage between the MBRF15150CTHC0G and the VF30150C-E3/4W?

A: The MBRF15150CTHC0G specifies 950 mV maximum forward voltage at 7.5 A. The VF30150C-E3/4W specifies 1.36 V maximum forward voltage at 15 A. Forward voltage varies with current; direct comparison at identical current levels is not provided in the data.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are packaged in TO-220-3 Full Pack with isolated tab (ITO-220AB supplier device package). All are through-hole mounted components with identical mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the reverse leakage current difference between parts?

A: The MBRF15150CTHC0G specifies 100 µA reverse leakage at 150 V. Substitute parts show higher leakage: VF10150C-E3/4W at 100 µA, VF20150C variants at 150 µA, VF30150C-E3/4W at 200 µA, and VF40150C variants at 250 µA. Higher current-rated devices exhibit higher reverse leakage at the same voltage.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same circuit?

A: All substitute parts maintain identical voltage ratings (150 V), speed characteristics (fast recovery ≤ 500ns), and temperature range (-55°C to 150°C). Mixing parts with different current ratings in parallel or series configurations requires circuit analysis to ensure proper current distribution and thermal management.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: VF10150C-E3/4W: 9,920 units; VF20150C-E3/4W: 4,710 units; VF20150C-M3/4W: 5,995 units; VF30150C-E3/4W: 20,978 units; VF40150C-E3/4W: 6,400 units; VF40150C-M3/4W: 1,610 units. All parts are listed as new original in stock.
