Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MBRF2560CT/45 are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Technology: Schottky
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 60 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): 15 A
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500 ns, > 200 mA (Io)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: TO-220-3 Full Pack

Allowable Variations:

• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: Variations within the Schottky diode technology range
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: Variations within acceptable leakage specifications
• Operating Temperature - Junction: Maximum temperature may exceed the primary part specification
• Supplier Device Package designation: May differ while maintaining TO-220-3 Full Pack mechanical compatibility
• RoHS Compliance Status: May differ from primary part
• Packaging format: Bulk or Tube acceptable for equivalent functionality

The identified substitute parts RB225T-60 (Rohm Semiconductor) and STPS30H60CFP (STMicroelectronics) satisfy all critical matching parameters and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the MBRF2560CT/45.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MBRF2560CT/45 (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division)

Primary part selection is appropriate for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and forward voltage characteristics at 750 mV @ 15 A are within design specifications. Product status is Active with established inventory availability.

RB225T-60 (Rohm Semiconductor)

This substitute is suitable for designs requiring ROHS3 compliance. The forward voltage is lower at 630 mV @ 15 A, resulting in reduced power dissipation compared to the primary part. Reverse leakage current is 600 µA @ 60 V. Maximum junction temperature matches the primary part at 150°C. Inventory availability is higher at 1791 pieces. Packaging is Bulk format.

STPS30H60CFP (STMicroelectronics)

This substitute is suitable for designs requiring ROHS3 compliance and enhanced thermal performance. The forward voltage is 660 mV @ 15 A. Reverse leakage current is significantly lower at 60 µA @ 60 V, providing superior leakage characteristics. Maximum junction temperature is elevated to 175°C, supporting higher ambient operating conditions. Inventory availability is highest at 5138 pieces. Packaging is Tube format.

Selection between substitute parts depends on compliance requirements, thermal design margins, and leakage current specifications for the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RB225T-60 be used as a direct replacement for MBRF2560CT/45?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings for voltage (60 V), current (15 A per diode), configuration (1 Pair Common Cathode), technology (Schottky), and speed characteristics (Fast Recovery ≤ 500 ns). Both are housed in TO-220-3 Full Pack through-hole packages. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status and forward voltage characteristics (630 mV vs. 750 mV @ 15 A).

Q: Can STPS30H60CFP be used as a direct replacement for MBRF2560CT/45?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings for voltage (60 V), current (15 A per diode), configuration (1 Pair Common Cathode), technology (Schottky), and speed characteristics (Fast Recovery ≤ 500 ns). Both are housed in TO-220-3 Full Pack through-hole packages. The primary differences are RoHS compliance status, forward voltage characteristics (660 mV vs. 750 mV @ 15 A), and maximum junction temperature (175°C vs. 150°C).

Q: What are the mechanical compatibility considerations between these parts?

A: All three parts use TO-220-3 Full Pack through-hole packages and are mechanically compatible for PCB mounting. The MBRF2560CT/45 features an isolated tab (ITO-220AB), while RB225T-60 and STPS30H60CFP use standard TO-220FN and TO-220FP designations respectively. Verify thermal management requirements and heatsink interface specifications for your application.

Q: How do forward voltage differences affect circuit performance?

A: Forward voltage variations (630 mV, 660 mV, and 750 mV @ 15 A) directly impact power dissipation and voltage drop across the diode. Lower forward voltage results in reduced heat generation. Verify that your circuit design accommodates the forward voltage specification of the selected substitute part.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The MBRF2560CT/45 is RoHS non-compliant. Both RB225T-60 and STPS30H60CFP are ROHS3 compliant. Select the appropriate part based on your application's regulatory and compliance requirements.

Q: What is the significance of reverse leakage current differences?

A: Reverse leakage current varies across the three parts: 1 mA (MBRF2560CT/45), 600 µA (RB225T-60), and 60 µA (STPS30H60CFP). Lower leakage current reduces standby power consumption and improves circuit efficiency. Applications sensitive to leakage current should prioritize STPS30H60CFP.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Electrical interchangeability is confirmed for the critical parameters: voltage rating, current rating, diode configuration, technology, and package type. Verify that your specific circuit design accommodates any variations in forward voltage, reverse leakage, and maximum junction temperature before implementation.
