MBRF2060CT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MBRF2060CT is a Schottky diode array featuring a 1 Pair Common Cathode configuration rated for 60 V DC reverse voltage and 10 A average rectified current per diode. Manufactured by onsemi, this component is housed in a TO-220-3 Full Pack through-hole package and is classified as obsolete. The fast recovery characteristic (≤500 ns, >200 mA) makes it suitable for high-frequency switching applications. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent and substitute parts from active manufacturers are necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Substitution Categories:

Parametric Equivalents maintain identical electrical specifications and package form factor. These parts are direct functional replacements with no circuit redesign required.

Direct Manufacturer Alternatives originate from different manufacturers but meet or exceed the primary electrical parameters. Variations in forward voltage, reverse leakage current, or temperature range are noted but do not preclude substitution when application requirements permit.

Similar Parts share the core voltage and configuration specifications but may differ in current rating, forward voltage characteristics, or package variant. These require application-level verification of current capacity and thermal performance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Parametric Equivalents (Direct Replacements):

MBRF2060CTG (onsemi) and DSA20C60PN (IXYS) are parametric equivalents to the MBRF2060CT. Both maintain the 60 V reverse voltage, 10 A average rectified current, and 850 mV forward voltage at 10 A. MBRF2060CTG is ROHS3 compliant, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs. DSA20C60PN offers extended junction temperature range (-55°C to 175°C) and is active in production with ROHS3 compliance.

Active Manufacturer Alternatives:

MBRF2060CT-E3/45 and MBRF2060CTHE3/45 (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division) provide 60 V, 10 A specifications with reduced forward voltage (800 mV @ 10 A) and isolated tab packaging. MBRF2060CTHE3/45 carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Both are ROHS3 compliant and active in production.

RB215T-60 (Rohm Semiconductor) matches the 60 V, 10 A electrical specification with significantly lower forward voltage (580 mV @ 10 A), resulting in reduced power dissipation. This part is ROHS3 compliant and active in production.

Current-Derated Alternatives:

STPS10L60CFP (STMicroelectronics) operates at 60 V with 5 A average rectified current per diode. This part is suitable for applications where current requirements do not exceed 5 A. Forward voltage is 550 mV @ 5 A. ROHS3 compliant and active in production.

RB205T-60 (Rohm Semiconductor) operates at 60 V with 7.5 A average rectified current per diode. Forward voltage is 580 mV @ 7.5 A. ROHS3 compliant and active in production.

Higher Current Alternative:

MBRF2060CT (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation) provides 60 V reverse voltage with 20 A average rectified current per diode, exceeding the original specification. Forward voltage is 950 mV @ 20 A. This part features isolated tab packaging and is ROHS3 compliant and active in production.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MBRF2060CTG be used as a direct replacement for the obsolete MBRF2060CT?

A: Yes. MBRF2060CTG maintains identical electrical specifications: 60 V reverse voltage, 10 A average rectified current per diode, 850 mV forward voltage at 10 A, and 150 µA reverse leakage at 60 V. The primary difference is ROHS3 compliance, making it suitable for new designs and production requiring regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the difference between TO-220-3 Full Pack and TO-220-3 Full Pack with Isolated Tab?

A: Both are through-hole packages with identical electrical performance. The isolated tab variant (ITO-220AB) provides electrical isolation between the tab and the case, reducing thermal coupling to the mounting surface. Standard TO-220-3 Full Pack (TO-220FP or TO-220FN) does not provide this isolation. Selection depends on thermal management and circuit isolation requirements.

Q: Can RB215T-60 replace MBRF2060CT in all applications?

A: RB215T-60 matches the 60 V reverse voltage and 10 A average rectified current specifications. However, forward voltage is significantly lower (580 mV @ 10 A versus 850 mV @ 10 A), resulting in reduced power dissipation. This is generally beneficial but must be verified against circuit design assumptions regarding forward voltage drop. Maximum junction temperature is 150°C versus 175°C for the original part.

Q: Is STPS10L60CFP suitable for applications requiring 10 A?

A: No. STPS10L60CFP is rated for 5 A average rectified current per diode, which is half the original specification. This part is suitable only for applications where current requirements do not exceed 5 A. For 10 A applications, use parts rated for 10 A or higher.

Q: What are the RoHS compliance implications of selecting a substitute?

A: The original MBRF2060CT is RoHS non-compliant. All active substitute parts listed (MBRF2060CTG, MBRF2060CT-E3/45, MBRF2060CTHE3/45, RB205T-60, RB215T-60, STPS10L60CFP, DSA20C60PN) are ROHS3 compliant. New designs and production requiring regulatory compliance must use ROHS3 compliant alternatives.

Q: Does the automotive qualification of MBRF2060CTHE3/45 affect its use in non-automotive applications?

A: No. AEC-Q101 qualification indicates the part meets automotive reliability standards and is suitable for automotive applications. This qualification does not restrict use in non-automotive applications. MBRF2060CTHE3/45 is fully compatible with general industrial and consumer applications.

Q: Can DSA20C60PN be used in place of MBRF2060CT despite higher reverse leakage current?

A: Yes. DSA20C60PN maintains the 60 V reverse voltage, 10 A average rectified current, and 850 mV forward voltage at 10 A. Reverse leakage is 300 µA @ 60 V versus 150 µA @ 60 V for the original part. This higher leakage must be evaluated against circuit design tolerances. DSA20C60PN offers extended junction temperature range (-55°C to 175°C) and is ROHS3 compliant and active in production.

Q: What is the significance of the fast recovery specification (≤500 ns, >200 mA)?

A: Fast recovery indicates the diode switches from forward to reverse bias within 500 nanoseconds at currents exceeding 200 mA. This characteristic is essential for high-frequency switching applications. All substitute parts listed maintain this fast recovery specification, ensuring compatibility with switching circuit designs.
