SR006 Schottky Rectifier Diode Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SR006 is an active-status Schottky rectifier diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, rated for 60V DC reverse voltage and 500mA average rectified current in a DO-204AL (DO-41) through-hole axial package. This component is classified as a fast recovery Schottky diode with a maximum forward voltage of 700mV at 500mA and reverse leakage current of 500µA at 60V. The SR006 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the original SR006 becomes unavailable, when alternative packaging formats are required for manufacturing processes, or when higher current ratings are needed within the same voltage class and technology platform.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SR006 is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): Must equal 60V
Technology: Must be Schottky
Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole
Package / Case: Must be DO-204AL, DO-41, or Axial compatible
Speed: Must be Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: Must equal 500µA @ 60V
RoHS Status: Must be ROHS3 Compliant

Current Rating Consideration: The SR006 is rated for 500mA average rectified current. Substitute parts with equal or higher current ratings (1A or 2A) are electrically compatible and may be used in applications where the SR006 is specified, provided all other parameters remain within specification. Higher current-rated devices do not degrade performance in lower-current applications.

Packaging Consideration: The SR006 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Substitute parts supplied in Cut Tape (CT) or Bulk packaging are mechanically and electrically equivalent but differ in supply format and handling requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed are active-status components with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, matching the regulatory and compliance profile of the SR006.

Direct Electrical Equivalents (1A Rating): MBR160G, MBR160RLG, SB160-E3/54, SB160-E3/73, SB160-T, and SB160E-G are all rated for 1A average rectified current at 60V reverse voltage with identical reverse leakage characteristics (500µA @ 60V). These parts are electrically suitable for SR006 replacement in applications operating at or below 500mA. The lower forward voltage of SB160-E3/54 and SB160-E3/73 (650mV @ 1A) provides improved efficiency compared to the SR006 (700mV @ 500mA).

Higher Current Rating (2A Rating): SR206-TP is rated for 2A average rectified current and operates within the same 60V voltage class. This part is suitable for applications requiring higher current capacity while maintaining the same voltage specification. The SR206-TP exhibits higher reverse leakage (1mA @ 60V) compared to the SR006 (500µA @ 60V) and operates within a narrower temperature range (-50 to 125°C versus -55 to 150°C).

Packaging Considerations: SB160-E3/54 and SB160-E3/73 are supplied in DO-204AL (DO-41) package format, matching the SR006 supplier device package. MBR160G and MBR160RLG are supplied in Axial format. SB160-T, SB160E-G, and SR206-TP are supplied in DO-41 format. All three package formats are mechanically compatible with through-hole assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MBR160G or MBR160RLG replace SR006 in my circuit?

A: Yes. Both MBR160G and MBR160RLG are rated for 60V reverse voltage, 1A average rectified current, 500µA reverse leakage at 60V, and fast recovery Schottky technology. The higher current rating (1A versus 500mA) does not affect performance in applications using the SR006 at 500mA or below. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The primary difference is packaging format: MBR160G and MBR160RLG are supplied in Axial format rather than the SR006's Tape & Reel format.

Q: What is the difference between SB160-E3/54 and SB160-E3/73?

A: SB160-E3/54 and SB160-E3/73 are electrically identical Schottky diodes rated for 60V, 1A, with 650mV forward voltage at 1A and 500µA reverse leakage at 60V. Both are supplied in DO-204AL (DO-41) package format. The primary difference is the supplier device package designation, which reflects different manufacturing or distribution batches from Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division.

Q: Can I use SR206-TP as a direct replacement for SR006?

A: SR206-TP is electrically compatible with SR006 in terms of voltage rating (60V) and technology (Schottky). However, SR206-TP is rated for 2A average rectified current and exhibits higher reverse leakage (1mA @ 60V versus 500µA @ 60V). The operating temperature range is narrower (-50 to 125°C versus -55 to 150°C). Use SR206-TP only when higher current capacity is required or when the narrower temperature range is acceptable for the application.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel (TR), Cut Tape (CT), and Bulk packaging formats do not affect electrical performance. Packaging format determines supply method and handling requirements for manufacturing processes. All substitute parts with identical electrical parameters perform identically regardless of packaging format.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed (MBR160G, MBR160RLG, SB160-E3/54, SB160-E3/73, SB160-T, SB160E-G, and SR206-TP) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the regulatory status of the SR006.

Q: What is the significance of reverse leakage current in substitution?

A: Reverse leakage current (Ir) is a critical parameter for Schottky diode selection. The SR006 and all 1A-rated substitutes (MBR160G, MBR160RLG, SB160-E3/54, SB160-E3/73, SB160-T, SB160E-G) specify 500µA @ 60V reverse leakage. SR206-TP specifies 1mA @ 60V, which is higher. In low-leakage applications, use parts with 500µA specification. In applications tolerant of higher leakage, SR206-TP is acceptable.

Q: Can I substitute based on forward voltage alone?

A: No. Forward voltage is one parameter among many. All substitute parts must match the SR006 in voltage rating (60V), technology (Schottky), reverse leakage (500µA @ 60V for 1A parts), speed (fast recovery ≤500ns), and mounting type (through hole). Forward voltage differences (650mV versus 700mV) represent minor efficiency variations but do not determine substitutability. All parameters must be evaluated together.
