SS16FL-TP Schottky Diode Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SS16FL-TP is an active Schottky rectifier diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, rated for 60V DC reverse voltage and 1A average rectified current in a surface mount DO-221AC (SMA-FL) package. This component is designed for fast recovery applications requiring switching speeds of 500 nanoseconds or less at currents exceeding 200mA. The part is RoHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) and remains in active production status with 2200 units in current inventory.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when design requirements permit functional interchange based on electrical performance parameters, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance. Substitute parts may differ in current rating, forward voltage characteristics, or package variants while maintaining compatibility with the primary application circuit.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SS16FL-TP are classified into two categories based on electrical and mechanical compatibility:

Parametric Equivalent Parts maintain identical or superior electrical specifications within the same package family. These parts satisfy direct replacement requirements when the application circuit design permits no deviation in voltage rating, current capacity, or thermal characteristics.

Functional Equivalent Parts provide the same voltage rating and package compatibility but may exceed the current rating of the primary part. These substitutes are suitable when the application circuit can accommodate higher current capacity without adverse effects on circuit performance or thermal management.

The following key parameters determine substitution eligibility:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) Maximum: Must equal or exceed 60V
• Package / Case: Must be DO-221AC with SMA Flat Leads configuration
• Mounting Type: Must be Surface Mount
• Technology: Must be Schottky rectifier diode
• Speed: Must maintain Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns at > 200mA
• RoHS Status: Must be ROHS3 Compliant
• Product Status: Must be Active

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SB16AFC_R1_00001 (Panjit International Inc.) is a parametric equivalent substitute for the SS16FL-TP. This part maintains identical voltage rating (60V), current rating (1A), forward voltage characteristics (700 mV @ 1A), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C). The SB16AFC_R1_00001 is RoHS3 compliant, active in production, and housed in a compatible DO-221AC package with SMA Flat Leads. The reverse leakage current is lower (100 µA versus 500 µA), and junction capacitance is reduced (45 pF versus 110 pF), both favorable characteristics for circuit performance. This part is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the SS16FL-TP is specified.

VSSAF56HM3_A/H (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division) is a functional equivalent substitute with enhanced current capacity (5A versus 1A) while maintaining the 60V voltage rating and DO-221AC package compatibility. This part is qualified to AEC-Q101 automotive standards and carries the TMBS® and SlimSMA™ series designations. The VSSAF56HM3_A/H exhibits lower forward voltage (620 mV @ 5A) and reduced reverse leakage (400 µA). The operating temperature range is -40°C to 150°C, which is narrower at the lower bound compared to the SS16FL-TP. This substitute is appropriate for applications where higher current capacity provides design margin or where the automotive qualification is required. The increased junction capacitance (540 pF) must be evaluated against circuit switching frequency requirements.

All three parts maintain RoHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and active product status, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the VSSAF56HM3_A/H be used as a direct replacement for the SS16FL-TP in all applications?

A: The VSSAF56HM3_A/H is electrically compatible with the SS16FL-TP for voltage rating and package type. However, the higher current rating (5A versus 1A) and increased junction capacitance (540 pF versus 110 pF) require circuit evaluation. Applications sensitive to capacitive loading or thermal dissipation must be assessed. The narrower operating temperature range (-40°C to 150°C versus -55°C to 150°C) may restrict use in extreme low-temperature environments.

Q: What is the difference between the SB16AFC_R1_00001 and SS16FL-TP?

A: The SB16AFC_R1_00001 is manufactured by Panjit International Inc., while the SS16FL-TP is manufactured by Micro Commercial Co. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 60V reverse voltage, 1A average rectified current, 700 mV forward voltage at 1A, and -55°C to 150°C operating temperature range. The SB16AFC_R1_00001 exhibits superior reverse leakage characteristics (100 µA versus 500 µA) and lower junction capacitance (45 pF versus 110 pF). Both are RoHS3 compliant and in active production.

Q: Are all three parts housed in the same physical package?

A: All three parts use the DO-221AC package with SMA Flat Leads configuration, ensuring mechanical compatibility with printed circuit board layouts designed for the SS16FL-TP. The supplier device packages differ slightly: SS16FL-TP uses SMA-FL designation, VSSAF56HM3_A/H uses SlimSMA designation, and SB16AFC_R1_00001 uses SMAF-C designation. These designations reflect manufacturer-specific package variants within the DO-221AC family and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: Which substitute part has the lowest reverse leakage current?

A: The SB16AFC_R1_00001 exhibits the lowest reverse leakage current at 100 µA @ 60V, compared to 400 µA for the VSSAF56HM3_A/H and 500 µA for the SS16FL-TP. Lower reverse leakage is beneficial in applications requiring minimal standby current or high impedance characteristics.

Q: What is the significance of the junction capacitance differences among these parts?

A: Junction capacitance affects switching speed and high-frequency performance. The SB16AFC_R1_00001 has the lowest capacitance (45 pF), followed by the SS16FL-TP (110 pF), and the VSSAF56HM3_A/H (540 pF). In applications operating at high switching frequencies or requiring minimal capacitive loading on the circuit, the SB16AFC_R1_00001 or SS16FL-TP are preferred. The VSSAF56HM3_A/H may introduce additional phase shift or switching delays in sensitive circuits.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all three parts—SS16FL-TP, VSSAF56HM3_A/H, and SB16AFC_R1_00001—are RoHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). All parts are REACH unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: What is the difference between a parametric equivalent and a functional equivalent?

A: A parametric equivalent maintains identical electrical specifications and is suitable for direct replacement without circuit modification. The SB16AFC_R1_00001 is a parametric equivalent to the SS16FL-TP. A functional equivalent provides the same primary function and package compatibility but may have enhanced specifications, such as higher current capacity. The VSSAF56HM3_A/H is a functional equivalent with 5A capacity versus 1A, requiring circuit evaluation before substitution.
