Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SS16L M2G is determined by electrical parameter equivalence and mechanical compatibility. The critical parameters governing substitution are:

Electrical 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 ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C ~ 150°C minimum

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package / Case: DO-219AB
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Supplier Device Package: Sub SMA or DO-219AB (SMF)

Parts are classified into two substitution categories:

Parametric Equivalent: SS16L R3G matches all electrical specifications and package requirements. This part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics but maintains identical performance characteristics.

Similar Manufacturer Parts: SS1FH6-M3/H, SS1FH6HM3/H, and SS2FH6HM3/H are manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. These parts share the same reverse voltage, package format, and mounting type. SS1FH6-M3/H and SS1FH6HM3/H maintain 1 A current rating with equivalent forward voltage. SS2FH6HM3/H provides 2 A current capacity, suitable for applications requiring higher current handling within the same voltage and package envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SS16L R3G is the direct parametric equivalent to SS16L M2G, offering identical electrical specifications and package format. However, this part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, limiting its availability for new designs despite 2463 pieces currently in stock.

SS1FH6-M3/H and SS1FH6HM3/H are functionally equivalent alternatives from Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. Both maintain 1 A current rating and 60 V reverse voltage specifications. SS1FH6HM3/H includes AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade components. Both parts feature improved reverse leakage characteristics (3 µA versus 400 µA) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 175°C versus -55°C ~ 150°C). These parts are actively produced with substantial inventory availability.

SS2FH6HM3/H provides 2 A current capacity within the same 60 V voltage and DO-219AB package specifications. This part is suitable for applications requiring higher current handling without package redesign. Forward voltage increases to 780 mV at 2 A operation. This part includes AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and is actively produced.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and are suitable for direct PCB footprint compatibility with the SS16L M2G.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SS16L R3G be used as a direct replacement for SS16L M2G?

A: Yes. SS16L R3G is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications (60 V, 1 A, 700 mV forward voltage) and package format (DO-219AB). However, this part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, which may impact long-term supply availability.

Q: What is the difference between SS1FH6-M3/H and SS1FH6HM3/H?

A: Both parts share identical electrical specifications and package format. SS1FH6HM3/H includes AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and is designated as automotive-grade, while SS1FH6-M3/H is the standard industrial version. Both are actively produced.

Q: Can SS2FH6HM3/H replace SS16L M2G in all applications?

A: SS2FH6HM3/H is mechanically and electrically compatible for applications operating at or below 1 A. The 2 A current rating provides design margin. However, forward voltage increases to 780 mV at 2 A operation. Applications sensitive to forward voltage drop at 1 A operation should reference the 1 A equivalent parts (SS1FH6-M3/H or SS1FH6HM3/H).

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. SS16L R3G, SS1FH6-M3/H, SS1FH6HM3/H, and SS2FH6HM3/H are all ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the reverse leakage difference between SS16L M2G and Vishay alternatives?

A: SS16L M2G specifies 400 µA reverse leakage at 60 V. Vishay parts (SS1FH6-M3/H, SS1FH6HM3/H, SS2FH6HM3/H) specify 3 µA reverse leakage at 60 V. Lower reverse leakage may improve circuit performance in sensitive applications.

Q: Do substitute parts fit the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use DO-219AB package format with identical mechanical dimensions and pin configuration, enabling direct PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference?

A: SS16L M2G operates from -55°C to 150°C junction temperature. Vishay substitute parts (SS1FH6-M3/H, SS1FH6HM3/H, SS2FH6HM3/H) operate from -55°C to 175°C, providing 25°C additional high-temperature margin.
