SS16-M3/5AT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SS16-M3/5AT is a Schottky rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division, rated for 60 V DC reverse voltage and 1 A average rectified current in a surface mount DO-214AC (SMA) package. This component is classified as Active and complies with ROHS3 standards. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications, package compatibility, and operational characteristics. Alternative models become necessary when the primary part number reaches end-of-life status, inventory constraints occur, or design requirements necessitate different packaging or qualification grades.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Vishay General Semiconductor Standard Grade Variants (SS16-M3/5AT, B160-E3/5AT, B160-E3/61T, SS16-E3/5AT, SS16-E3/61T, SS16-M3/61T): These parts are direct electrical and mechanical equivalents with identical specifications. Selection among these variants is determined by packaging requirements: Tape & Reel (TR) for automated assembly processes, or Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® for manual or mixed-mode assembly. All variants maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

Vishay General Semiconductor Automotive Grade Variants (SS16HE3_B/H, SS16HE3_B/I): These parts are electrically and mechanically identical to the standard grade but include AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Selection of these variants is appropriate when designs require automotive-grade components or when supply chain specifications mandate automotive qualification. Both variants are Active and ROHS3 compliant.

Alternative Manufacturer Parts: The RB162L-60TE25 (Rohm Semiconductor) meets the core electrical specifications but carries a "Not For New Designs" status and exhibits lower forward voltage (650 mV vs. 750 mV) and lower reverse leakage (100 µA vs. 200 µA). This part is suitable only for legacy design maintenance or when existing inventory constraints require substitution.

The SS16 (EVVO Semi) meets electrical specifications with a maximum junction temperature of 125°C (versus 150°C for Vishay variants) and higher reverse leakage (300 µA vs. 200 µA). This part is Active and suitable for applications where the reduced temperature range is acceptable.

The SS16 R3G (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation) is electrically equivalent but carries a "Discontinued at DiGi Electronics" status, limiting its availability for new procurement.

Selection Priority: For new designs and ongoing production, Vishay General Semiconductor variants (standard or automotive grade) are recommended based on Active product status and established supply chain availability. Packaging selection (TR vs. CT) should align with assembly process requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute SS16-M3/5AT with B160-E3/5AT? A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor and share identical electrical specifications (60 V, 1 A, 750 mV forward voltage, 200 µA reverse leakage) and mechanical compatibility (DO-214AC, SMA package). The primary difference is packaging: SS16-M3/5AT is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR), while B160-E3/5AT is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel®. Selection depends on assembly process requirements.

Q: What is the difference between SS16-M3/5AT and SS16HE3_B/I? A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with 60 V reverse voltage, 1 A current rating, and DO-214AC package. The SS16HE3_B/I includes AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and is designated as automotive grade, while SS16-M3/5AT is standard grade. Use SS16HE3_B/I when automotive qualification is required by design specifications or supply chain requirements.

Q: Is the RB162L-60TE25 (Rohm) a direct substitute? A: The RB162L-60TE25 meets the core voltage and current specifications (60 V, 1 A) and uses the same DO-214AC package. However, it exhibits lower forward voltage (650 mV vs. 750 mV) and lower reverse leakage (100 µA vs. 200 µA). Additionally, it carries a "Not For New Designs" status. This part is suitable only for legacy design maintenance or when existing inventory constraints require substitution.

Q: Can I use the EVVO Semi SS16 as a substitute? A: The EVVO Semi SS16 meets the voltage and current specifications (60 V, 1 A) and uses the same DO-214AC package. However, it has a lower maximum junction temperature (125°C vs. 150°C) and higher reverse leakage (300 µA vs. 200 µA). This part is suitable for applications where the reduced temperature range is acceptable and higher reverse leakage does not impact circuit performance.

Q: What packaging options are available for equivalent parts? A: Equivalent Vishay parts are available in Tape & Reel (TR), Cut Tape (CT), and Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® configurations. Tape & Reel is standard for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape is suitable for lower-volume or manual assembly processes. Digi-Reel® is a proprietary packaging format. Selection should align with your assembly equipment and process requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All substitute parts listed in this reference are ROHS3 compliant and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 (Unlimited), matching the compliance profile of the SS16-M3/5AT.

Q: What is the difference between SS16-E3/61T and SS16-M3/61T? A: Both parts are electrically identical Vishay variants with 60 V, 1 A specifications and DO-214AC package. The primary difference is packaging: SS16-E3/61T is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel®, while SS16-M3/61T is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR). Selection depends on assembly process compatibility.

Q: Should I use automotive-grade variants for non-automotive applications? A: Automotive-grade variants (SS16HE3_B/H, SS16HE3_B/I) are electrically and mechanically identical to standard-grade parts and include additional AEC-Q101 qualification. They can be used in non-automotive applications without performance impact. Use automotive-grade variants when supply chain specifications require them or when design requirements mandate automotive qualification.
