SS16FA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SS16FA is a 60V, 1A Schottky rectifier diode manufactured by onsemi in SOD-123FA surface mount packaging. This component is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating it has reached end-of-life status. The part is automotive-grade with AEC-Q101 qualification and maintains full RoHS3 compliance. Due to its discontinued design status, equivalent substitute parts are necessary for ongoing production support, maintenance applications, and design continuity in existing systems.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SS16FA is determined by strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching across the following criteria:

Primary Substitution Parameters:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 60 V (exact match required)
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 1 A (exact match required)
• Technology: Schottky (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io) (exact match required)
• RoHS3 Compliance: Required
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

Secondary Compatibility Considerations:

• Forward voltage (Vf) tolerance: Parts with Vf ≤ 700 mV @ 1 A are functionally compatible
• Reverse leakage current: Lower values indicate improved performance characteristics
• Operating temperature range: Parts supporting -55°C ~ 150°C minimum are compatible
• Package form factor: SOD-123 family variants (SOD-123W, SOD-123FA, SOD-123FL) and DO-219AB are mechanically compatible with appropriate PCB layout modifications

All four substitute parts meet the primary substitution parameters and maintain full compliance with automotive and environmental standards.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SS16LWHRVG (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation)

This part is a direct parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications and SOD-123W packaging. It maintains the same operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 150°C) and carries Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance. The reverse leakage current of 100 µA is higher than the original SS16FA (400 µA), representing improved performance. This substitute is suitable for direct replacement in existing designs without PCB modifications.

PMEG6010ELRX (Nexperia USA Inc.)

This substitute offers superior electrical performance with forward voltage of 660 mV @ 1 A (40 mV improvement over SS16FA) and significantly lower reverse leakage current of 300 nA @ 60 V. The SOD-123W package matches the original form factor. However, the maximum operating temperature is specified as 150°C without a minimum temperature range, requiring verification for applications requiring -55°C operation. This part is suitable for applications where improved efficiency is beneficial.

SS1060FL_R1_00001 (Panjit International Inc.)

This substitute maintains identical electrical specifications (700 mV @ 1 A forward voltage, -55°C ~ 150°C operating range) and carries Active product status. The SOD-123FL package is mechanically compatible within the SOD-123 family but requires PCB layout verification due to minor form factor differences. Reverse leakage current of 30 µA represents improved performance. This part is suitable for direct replacement with standard PCB layout considerations.

SS1FH6-M3/H (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division)

This substitute provides the lowest reverse leakage current (3 µA @ 60 V) and extends the maximum operating temperature to 175°C. The DO-219AB (SMF) package differs from the original SOD-123FA form factor and requires PCB layout modifications. This part is suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance and lower leakage characteristics, with appropriate design accommodation for package differences.

All substitute parts maintain full RoHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and automotive-grade reliability standards. Selection should be based on specific application requirements regarding package form factor, thermal performance, and leakage current specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SS16LWHRVG directly replace SS16FA without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. SS16LWHRVG is packaged in SOD-123W, which is mechanically and electrically compatible with the original SS16FA. No PCB layout changes are required for this substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between PMEG6010ELRX and the original SS16FA?

A: PMEG6010ELRX offers improved forward voltage performance (660 mV vs. 700 mV @ 1 A) and significantly lower reverse leakage current (300 nA vs. 400 µA @ 60 V). Both parts are rated for 60V, 1A operation with identical fast recovery speed characteristics.

Q: Does SS1060FL_R1_00001 require PCB layout changes?

A: SS1060FL_R1_00001 uses SOD-123FL packaging, which is part of the SOD-123 family. While electrically compatible, minor PCB layout verification is recommended due to form factor variations within the SOD-123 family. Consult package datasheets for precise footprint dimensions.

Q: Why does SS1FH6-M3/H use a different package (DO-219AB)?

A: SS1FH6-M3/H is manufactured by Vishay in their eSMP® series using DO-219AB (SMF) packaging. This package offers different thermal and mechanical characteristics. PCB layout modifications are required for this substitution, but the part provides superior leakage performance and extended temperature rating to 175°C.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: SS16LWHRVG, SS1060FL_R1_00001, and SS1FH6-M3/H are all active production parts with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings. PMEG6010ELRX is also RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. All parts are suitable for automotive applications; however, specific qualification requirements should be confirmed with your design and quality teams.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status of SS16FA?

A: This status indicates the original SS16FA has reached end-of-life and is no longer recommended for new product designs. Existing production and maintenance applications require substitution with active production alternatives. All four substitute parts carry Active product status and are suitable for ongoing support.

Q: How do reverse leakage current differences affect circuit performance?

A: Lower reverse leakage current improves efficiency and reduces power dissipation in standby conditions. PMEG6010ELRX (300 nA) and SS1FH6-M3/H (3 µA) offer significant improvements over the original SS16FA (400 µA). For most applications, this difference is negligible; however, high-impedance or precision analog circuits may benefit from lower leakage alternatives.

Q: Can I use PMEG6010ELRX if my application requires -55°C minimum operation?

A: PMEG6010ELRX specifies 150°C as maximum operating temperature without explicit minimum temperature range documentation. For applications requiring confirmed -55°C operation, SS16LWHRVG, SS1060FL_R1_00001, or SS1FH6-M3/H are recommended, as they explicitly specify -55°C minimum operating temperature.
