Engineering Selection Recommendations

Preferred Direct Replacements (Vishay Automotive-Grade, AEC-Q101):

The following parts provide direct electrical and mechanical equivalence to the SS26SHE3_A/I with active product status:

SS26SHE3_B/I - Identical specifications, Tape & Reel packaging, 19,033 units in stock
SS26S-E3/61T - Identical specifications, highest inventory availability (64,638 units), Cut Tape packaging
SS26SHE3_B/H - Identical specifications, largest inventory (351,380 units), Tape & Reel packaging

All three maintain automotive-grade classification and AEC-Q101 qualification, ensuring compliance with original design requirements.

Alternative Manufacturers Meeting 60V/2A Specifications:

BR26_R1_00001 (Panjit International Inc.) - Meets electrical requirements with lower forward voltage (700 mV vs. 750 mV) and reduced reverse leakage (50 µA vs. 200 µA). Operating temperature extends to 175°C. Active product status.
RB068L-60TE25 (Rohm Semiconductor) - Meets electrical requirements with superior reverse leakage performance (2 µA vs. 200 µA) and lower forward voltage (680 mV vs. 750 mV). Marked as "Not For New Designs," limiting suitability for new applications.

Parts Not Recommended as Direct Substitutes:

MBRA160T3G (onsemi) - Current rating of 1A does not meet the 2A requirement
STPS160A (STMicroelectronics) - Current rating of 1A does not meet the 2A requirement
CDBM260-G (Comchip Technology) - Package is SOD-123T (Mini SMA), not DO-214AC (SMA), creating potential PCB layout incompatibility

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use SS26SHE3_B/I as a direct replacement for SS26SHE3_A/I?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay with identical electrical specifications (60V, 2A, 750 mV forward voltage, 200 µA reverse leakage) and the same DO-214AC (SMA) package. The difference is packaging format: SS26SHE3_A/I is bulk, while SS26SHE3_B/I is supplied in Tape & Reel. Both maintain automotive-grade AEC-Q101 qualification.

Q: What is the difference between SS26S-E3/61T and SS26S-E3/5AT?

A: Both parts have identical electrical specifications and DO-214AC packaging. The difference is packaging format: SS26S-E3/61T is supplied in Cut Tape, while SS26S-E3/5AT is supplied in Tape & Reel. SS26S-E3/61T has significantly higher inventory availability (64,638 vs. 8,727 units).

Q: Can I substitute a Panjit BR26_R1_00001 for the Vishay SS26SHE3_A/I?

A: Yes, with engineering review. The BR26_R1_00001 meets the 60V/2A electrical requirements and uses the same DO-214AC package. However, it differs in forward voltage (700 mV vs. 750 mV), reverse leakage (50 µA vs. 200 µA), and maximum junction temperature (175°C vs. 150°C). These differences are within acceptable operating margins for most applications but should be verified against circuit design specifications.

Q: Why are MBRA160T3G and STPS160A listed as alternatives if they cannot replace the SS26SHE3_A/I?

A: These parts are listed because they share the same 60V voltage rating and DO-214AC package. However, their 1A current rating is insufficient for applications requiring the full 2A capability of the original part. They are suitable only for circuits designed for 1A operation.

Q: Is the CDBM260-G a suitable substitute?

A: No. Although the CDBM260-G meets the 60V/2A electrical specifications, it uses a SOD-123T (Mini SMA) package instead of the DO-214AC (SMA) package. This package difference creates potential incompatibility with existing PCB layouts and footprints designed for the original part.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" mean for the RB068L-60TE25?

A: This designation indicates that Rohm Semiconductor has discontinued active development and support for this part. While existing inventory may be available, the part is not recommended for new circuit designs. Use of this part should be limited to legacy system maintenance or repair applications where no other alternatives are available.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All parts listed in this reference maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: What is the significance of the AEC-Q101 qualification?

A: AEC-Q101 is an automotive electronics qualification standard. Parts bearing this qualification have undergone rigorous testing for reliability and performance in automotive applications. The Vishay parts (SS26SHE3_A/I, SS26SHE3_B/I, SS26SHE3_B/H) maintain this qualification, ensuring suitability for automotive-grade designs. Non-Vishay alternatives do not list AEC-Q101 qualification in the provided specifications.
