Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MBRF2060CTHE3_A/P is determined by strict adherence to the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Technology: Schottky
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 60 V
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: TO-220-3 Full Pack, Isolated Tab
• Supplier Device Package: ITO-220AB

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): Equal to or greater than 10 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: May vary based on current rating
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: May vary within acceptable limits
• Operating Temperature - Junction: Minimum junction temperature must not exceed -65°C; maximum must not be less than 150°C
• RoHS and REACH compliance status must be maintained

The substitute part MBRF2060CT meets all mandatory matching parameters and exceeds the current rating specification at 20 A, making it a direct parametric equivalent suitable for applications requiring equal or higher current capacity.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MBRF2060CT Substitution Suitability:

The MBRF2060CT from Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation is a parametric equivalent to the MBRF2060CTHE3_A/P. Both components maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The substitute part is electrically and mechanically compatible for through-hole PCB assembly applications requiring the TO-220-3 Full Pack, Isolated Tab package configuration.

The MBRF2060CT provides a higher current rating of 20 A per diode compared to the 10 A specification of the main part. This higher current capacity does not compromise compatibility in applications designed for 10 A operation. The substitute exhibits lower reverse leakage current (100 µA versus 150 µA at 60 V), which represents improved performance characteristics.

The operating temperature range of the substitute part (-55 to 150°C) differs from the main part (-65 to 150°C) at the minimum junction temperature. Applications requiring operation below -55°C must use the original MBRF2060CTHE3_A/P specification.

Both components are rated for 60 V DC reverse voltage and employ Schottky technology with fast recovery characteristics. The identical package designation (ITO-220AB) and mounting type ensure direct mechanical compatibility without PCB redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MBRF2060CT be used as a direct replacement for MBRF2060CTHE3_A/P in all applications?

A: The MBRF2060CT is electrically and mechanically compatible for applications operating within the temperature range of -55 to 150°C. Applications requiring operation below -55°C junction temperature must use the original MBRF2060CTHE3_A/P. Both components share identical package designation (ITO-220AB) and mounting type, enabling direct PCB substitution without layout modification.

Q: What are the key differences between these two diode arrays?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Current rating: MBRF2060CT is rated for 20 A per diode versus 10 A for MBRF2060CTHE3_A/P; (2) Forward voltage: 950 mV @ 20 A for MBRF2060CT versus 800 mV @ 10 A for MBRF2060CTHE3_A/P; (3) Reverse leakage: 100 µA @ 60 V for MBRF2060CT versus 150 µA @ 60 V for MBRF2060CTHE3_A/P; (4) Minimum operating temperature: -55°C for MBRF2060CT versus -65°C for MBRF2060CTHE3_A/P. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: The MBRF2060CTHE3_A/P carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and Automotive grade designation. The MBRF2060CT specifications provided do not include automotive qualification or grade information. Component selection for automotive applications must verify qualification status with the manufacturer or authorized distributor.

Q: Do both components require the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. Both the MBRF2060CTHE3_A/P and MBRF2060CT use the TO-220-3 Full Pack, Isolated Tab package with ITO-220AB supplier device package designation. The physical footprint, lead spacing, and mounting hole requirements are identical, enabling direct substitution without PCB redesign.

Q: What is the significance of the "1 Pair Common Cathode" configuration?

A: The 1 Pair Common Cathode configuration indicates that the diode array contains two independent Schottky diodes with a shared cathode terminal. This configuration is suitable for applications requiring dual rectification paths with a common return point. Substitute parts must maintain this identical configuration to ensure circuit compatibility.

Q: Can MBRF2060CT handle higher current applications than MBRF2060CTHE3_A/P?

A: The MBRF2060CT is rated for 20 A average rectified current per diode, compared to 10 A for MBRF2060CTHE3_A/P. Applications designed for 10 A operation function correctly with the higher-rated substitute. Applications requiring sustained operation above 10 A per diode benefit from the increased current capacity of MBRF2060CT. Thermal management and PCB copper area must be evaluated for the specific application current profile.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both MBRF2060CTHE3_A/P and MBRF2060CT are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The MBRF2060CTHE3_A/P carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Compliance verification for MBRF2060CT in automotive applications requires confirmation from the manufacturer or authorized distributor.
