Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MBRM560-13 is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following criteria establish substitution validity:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 60 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 5 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 690 mV @ 5 A
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 200 µA @ 60 V

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: Powermite®3
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C ~ 125°C

The UPS560E3/TR13 manufactured by Microchip Technology satisfies all electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The UPS560E3/TR13 is the direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the MBRM560-13. Selection of the UPS560E3/TR13 is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The UPS560E3/TR13 maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The MBRM560-13 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, making the substitute necessary for ongoing production.

Regulatory Compliance: The UPS560E3/TR13 is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the MBRM560-13 is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance difference may be relevant for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Electrical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters—reverse voltage, rectified current, forward voltage drop, recovery speed, and reverse leakage current—are identical between the two parts.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts use the Powermite®3 package and surface mount technology, ensuring PCB layout and assembly process compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UPS560E3/TR13 be used as a direct replacement for the MBRM560-13 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The UPS560E3/TR13 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the MBRM560-13. All critical parameters—voltage rating, current rating, forward voltage drop, recovery speed, and reverse leakage—are identical. Both parts use the Powermite®3 surface mount package.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?
