Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MBRF2060CT are classified based on electrical and mechanical compatibility within the following criteria:

Direct Substitutes maintain identical or superior electrical specifications across all critical parameters:

• Diode configuration: 1 pair common cathode
• Technology: Schottky
• Maximum reverse voltage: 60 V
• Package: TO-220-3 Full Pack, Isolated Tab
• Mounting: Through hole
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 150°C minimum

Similar Substitutes share the same package, configuration, and voltage rating but differ in current capacity or forward voltage characteristics. These parts are suitable for applications where the full 20 A current rating is not required or where forward voltage performance is acceptable within circuit design margins.

The following parameters determine substitution eligibility:

• Reverse voltage rating must equal or exceed 60 V
• Diode configuration must remain 1 pair common cathode
• Package must be TO-220-3 Full Pack, Isolated Tab
• Mounting type must be through hole
• Operating temperature range must support -55°C to 150°C minimum

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitutes (MBRF2060CTL, MBRF2060CTP)

MBRF2060CTL and MBRF2060CTP are manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions and share identical package, configuration, and voltage specifications with the MBRF2060CT. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and MSL 1 rated. Selection between these alternatives and the original part should account for REACH status: MBRF2060CT carries REACH Unaffected status, while MBRF2060CTL and MBRF2060CTP are REACH Affected. All three parts maintain active product status and are suitable for direct pin-for-pin replacement in TO-220-3 through-hole applications.

Similar Substitutes (MBRF1560CT-E3/45, VFT3060C-E3/4W)

MBRF1560CT-E3/45 (Vishay) and VFT3060C-E3/4W (Vishay TMBS® series) are suitable alternatives for applications where current requirements are lower than the full 20 A specification. MBRF1560CT-E3/45 is rated for 7.5 A per diode, while VFT3060C-E3/4W is rated for 15 A per diode. Both maintain 60 V reverse voltage rating, TO-220-3 package configuration, and ROHS3 compliance. MBRF1560CT-E3/45 extends the operating temperature range to -65°C, providing additional thermal margin in low-temperature applications. VFT3060C-E3/4W demonstrates lower forward voltage (700 mV @ 15 A) compared to the MBRF2060CT (950 mV @ 20 A), resulting in reduced power dissipation in current-limited circuits. Both Vishay parts carry REACH Unaffected status.

All substitute parts maintain fast recovery characteristics (≤ 500ns, > 200mA) and are classified as active products with current inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MBRF2060CTL or MBRF2060CTP be used as direct replacements for MBRF2060CT?

A: Yes. MBRF2060CTL and MBRF2060CTP are direct substitutes sharing identical diode configuration (1 pair common cathode), reverse voltage rating (60 V), package type (TO-220-3 Full Pack, Isolated Tab), and mounting method (through hole). All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and MSL 1 rated. The primary consideration is REACH compliance status: MBRF2060CT is REACH Unaffected, while MBRF2060CTL and MBRF2060CTP are REACH Affected.

Q: What is the difference between MBRF2060CT and VFT3060C-E3/4W?

A: Both parts share the same 60 V reverse voltage rating, TO-220-3 package, and Schottky technology. The primary difference is current rating: MBRF2060CT is rated for 20 A per diode, while VFT3060C-E3/4W is rated for 15 A per diode. VFT3060C-E3/4W exhibits lower forward voltage (700 mV @ 15 A) compared to MBRF2060CT (950 mV @ 20 A). VFT3060C-E3/4W is part of the Vishay TMBS® series and carries REACH Unaffected status.

Q: Can MBRF1560CT-E3/45 replace MBRF2060CT in all applications?

A: MBRF1560CT-E3/45 is suitable for applications where the circuit current requirement does not exceed 7.5 A per diode. This part maintains the same 60 V reverse voltage rating, TO-220-3 package configuration, and fast recovery characteristics. MBRF1560CT-E3/45 extends the minimum operating temperature to -65°C, providing additional thermal margin. Applications requiring the full 20 A current capacity must use MBRF2060CT or equivalent 20 A rated alternatives.

Q: Are all substitute parts compatible with the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts use the TO-220-3 Full Pack with isolated tab package and through-hole mounting. PCB footprints designed for MBRF2060CT accommodate all substitute parts without modification.

Q: What is the significance of the reverse leakage current difference between MBRF2060CT and substitute parts?

A: MBRF2060CT specifies 100 µA reverse leakage at 60 V, while MBRF2060CTL, MBRF2060CTP, MBRF1560CT-E3/45, and VFT3060C-E3/4W specify 1 mA or 1.2 mA at 60 V. Higher reverse leakage increases standby power dissipation and may affect circuit performance in high-impedance applications. Applications sensitive to reverse leakage should prioritize MBRF2060CT.

Q: Which substitute part offers the lowest forward voltage drop?

A: VFT3060C-E3/4W demonstrates the lowest forward voltage at 700 mV @ 15 A, followed by MBRF1560CT-E3/45 at 750 mV @ 7.5 A. MBRF2060CTL specifies 690 mV @ 10 A. Lower forward voltage reduces power dissipation and heat generation in rectification circuits. Selection should account for the current rating at which forward voltage is specified.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all substitute parts?

A: All listed parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. REACH status varies: MBRF2060CT, MBRF1560CT-E3/45, and VFT3060C-E3/4W are REACH Unaffected; MBRF2060CTL and MBRF2060CTP are REACH Affected. All parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and HTSUS code 8541.10.0080.
