Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitutes for the STPS160AFN are selected strictly by matching key electrical and mechanical parameters: Schottky technology, 60V DC reverse voltage, 1A average rectified current, 670 mV forward voltage at 1A, reverse leakage current at 4 µA @ 60V, fast recovery speed, identical mounting type (surface mount), and similar or compatible package/case. Compliance aspects such as RoHS, MSL, and REACH status are also matched per provided information. Only parts with these exact parameters are grouped as substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The STPS160AFN is obsolete. The STPS160A is active and matches all provided electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters, including Schottky technology, voltage, current, forward drop, reverse leakage, recovery speed, mounting type, and RoHS, MSL, and REACH status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the critical parameters for substituting STPS160AFN?
A1: Substitution requires identical Schottky technology, 60 V reverse voltage, 1A rectified current, 670 mV forward voltage at 1A, 4 µA reverse leakage at 60V, fast recovery speed, surface mount capability, compatible package/case, and matching compliance status.

Q2: Is it necessary to match the package type exactly when substituting?
A2: Package type must be compatible for the intended assembly process. The main part uses DO-221AC, SMA Flat Leads, while the substitute uses DO-214AC, SMA. Both are surface mount but may differ mechanically.

Q3: Are there compliance considerations for selecting substitutes?
A3: Substitutes must maintain identical RoHS, MSL, and REACH status to preserve regulatory compliance in manufacturing.

Q4: Can STPS160A be used in place of STPS160AFN in all applications?
A4: Based on the provided electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters, the STPS160A matches those of the STPS160AFN.

Q5: What electrical characteristics are essential for compatibility?
A5: Reverse voltage, average rectified current, forward voltage drop, reverse leakage current, and recovery speed are essential for direct substitution.
