SS16L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SS16L is a Schottky rectifier diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, rated for 60 V DC reverse voltage and 1 A average rectified current. The device features fast recovery characteristics (≤500 ns at >200 mA) and is housed in a Sub SMA surface mount package (DO-219AB). The SS16L is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating it has reached end-of-life status. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary for design continuity, inventory management, and transition to active product lines while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SS16L are classified into two categories based on electrical and mechanical compatibility:

Parametric Equivalents (Same Package, Same Electrical Ratings): Parts SS16L M2G, SS16L MHG, SS16L MTG, SS16L R3G, SS16L RFG, SS16L RHG, SS16L RQG, SS16L RTG, and SS16L RUG maintain identical electrical specifications and the Sub SMA (DO-219AB) package footprint. These parts differ only in manufacturing date codes and tape/reel configurations. All parametric equivalents share the following critical parameters:

Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 60 V
Current - Average Rectified (Io): 1 A
Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 700 mV @ 1 A
Speed: Fast Recovery ≤500 ns, >200 mA (Io)
Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 400 µA @ 60 V
Package / Case: DO-219AB (Sub SMA)
Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C to 150°C

Manufacturer Recommended Substitute (Different Package, Improved Performance): Part SS16LW is the manufacturer-recommended alternative, offering the same electrical ratings but in a SOD-123W package. This part features improved reverse leakage characteristics (100 µA @ 60 V versus 400 µA @ 60 V) and holds Active product status, making it suitable for new designs.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Same Package, Same Footprint):

Select from the parametric equivalent group (SS16L M2G, SS16L MHG, SS16L MTG, SS16L RFG, SS16L RHG, SS16L RQG, SS16L RTG, or SS16L RUG) when PCB layout and mechanical constraints require the Sub SMA (DO-219AB) package. All parametric equivalents maintain identical electrical performance and are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. SS16L RQG offers the highest inventory availability (185,400 pcs) among parametric equivalents. Parts with Active product status (M2G, MHG, MTG, RFG, RHG, RQG, RTG, RUG) are suitable for new designs and ongoing production.

For New Design Implementation:

SS16LW is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for new designs. This part maintains all electrical specifications of the SS16L while offering improved reverse leakage performance (100 µA @ 60 V versus 400 µA @ 60 V). The SOD-123W package provides a smaller footprint than Sub SMA, enabling space optimization in new circuit layouts. SS16LW holds Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. Inventory availability is 20,588 pcs.

Compliance and Regulatory Considerations:

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and ECCN EAR99 classification. MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating applies to all alternatives, eliminating moisture sensitivity constraints during storage and assembly. All parts operate across the -55°C to 150°C junction temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SS16L M2G, MHG, MTG, RFG, RHG, RQG, RTG, and RUG be used interchangeably with the original SS16L?

A: Yes. These parametric equivalents share identical electrical specifications (60 V reverse voltage, 1 A average rectified current, 700 mV forward voltage at 1 A, fast recovery ≤500 ns) and the same Sub SMA (DO-219AB) package footprint. Differences exist only in manufacturing date codes and tape/reel configurations. Direct substitution on existing PCBs is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between SS16L and SS16LW?

A: Both parts maintain identical voltage and current ratings (60 V, 1 A) and forward voltage characteristics (700 mV @ 1 A). The primary differences are: (1) Package type—SS16L uses Sub SMA (DO-219AB), while SS16LW uses SOD-123W; (2) Reverse leakage—SS16LW exhibits 100 µA @ 60 V compared to 400 µA @ 60 V for SS16L; (3) Product status—SS16LW is Active, while SS16L is Not For New Designs. PCB layout modification is required when transitioning from SS16L to SS16LW due to different package footprints.

Q: Which substitute part has the best availability?

A: SS16L RQG offers the highest inventory level at 185,400 pcs. This part is Active status and maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the original SS16L.

Q: Is SS16L R3G a suitable substitute?

A: SS16L R3G is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications and Sub SMA package. However, its product status is listed as "Discontinued at DiGi Electronics," indicating limited future availability. For ongoing production, selection of Active status alternatives (M2G, MHG, MTG, RFG, RHG, RQG, RTG, or RUG) is recommended.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating applies to all alternatives, eliminating special handling requirements during storage and assembly.

Q: Can SS16LW be used as a direct PCB replacement for SS16L?

A: No. SS16LW requires PCB layout modification due to its SOD-123W package, which differs from the Sub SMA (DO-219AB) package of the SS16L. Footprint, pad spacing, and component placement differ between these packages. SS16LW is suitable for new circuit designs where the smaller SOD-123W footprint can be accommodated.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for all substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts operate across a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C, matching the original SS16L specification.
