• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 850 mV @ 16 A
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 300 µA @ 100 V
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C to 150°C

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: TO-220-2 Full Pack
• Supplier Device Package: ITO-220AC

Compliance Equivalence Criteria:

• Grade: Automotive
• Qualification: AEC-Q101
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The MBRF16100H meets all specified electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute for the discontinued MBRF16100HC0G.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MBRF16100H is the appropriate substitute for the discontinued MBRF16100HC0G based on the following factors:

Product Availability: The MBRF16100H maintains active product status with 1126 pieces in stock, whereas the original part is discontinued. This ensures supply chain continuity for new production and field replacements.

Electrical Compatibility: All electrical parameters are identical, including reverse voltage rating (100 V), average rectified current (16 A), forward voltage drop (850 mV @ 16 A), recovery speed (Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns), and reverse leakage current (300 µA @ 100 V). The operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C) is unchanged.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts utilize identical through-hole mounting in the TO-220-2 Full Pack configuration with ITO-220AC supplier device packaging. Direct PCB footprint compatibility is maintained.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts carry automotive-grade classification with AEC-Q101 qualification, ROHS3 compliance, and REACH unaffected status. Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) and ECCN/HTSUS classifications are identical.

The MBRF16100H provides complete functional and physical equivalence for direct substitution in all applications previously served by the MBRF16100HC0G.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MBRF16100H be used as a direct replacement for the MBRF16100HC0G in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MBRF16100H is electrically and mechanically identical to the MBRF16100HC0G across all specified parameters. The TO-220-2 through-hole package, electrical ratings, and performance characteristics are unchanged. Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

Q: Are there differences in the automotive qualification between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical automotive-grade classification and AEC-Q101 qualification. Compliance with automotive standards is maintained.

Q: What is the difference between the MBRF16100HC0G and MBRF16100H part numbers?

A: The parts are functionally equivalent. The primary distinction is product status: the MBRF16100HC0G is discontinued, while the MBRF16100H remains in active production. The suffix variation reflects manufacturing or packaging revision codes from Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation.

Q: Are the thermal and environmental operating ranges the same?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C. Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) and environmental compliance classifications are unchanged.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts use the TO-220-2 Full Pack configuration with ITO-220AC supplier device packaging. PCB footprints, lead spacing, and mounting hole requirements are identical, enabling direct interchangeability in assembly processes.

Q: Are there any supply chain advantages to selecting the MBRF16100H?

A: The MBRF16100H is currently in active production with 1126 pieces in stock, compared to the discontinued status of the MBRF16100HC0G. Active product status provides improved availability and lead time for procurement.
