STPS2060CT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The STPS2060CT is a Schottky diode array manufactured by STMicroelectronics, configured as 1 pair common cathode with 60 V reverse voltage rating and 10 A average rectified current per diode. The component is packaged in TO-220-3 through-hole configuration and is classified as obsolete product status. Due to obsolescence, equivalent substitute parts with matching or superior electrical characteristics and compatible packaging are required for ongoing design support and procurement.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Product Status):

MBR2060CT (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation) and MBR2060CT-BP (Micro Commercial Co) are direct electrical equivalents with enhanced current ratings of 20 A per diode, providing design margin above the original 10 A specification. Both maintain 60 V reverse voltage rating, TO-220-3 packaging, and fast recovery Schottky technology. MBR2060CT carries active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level. MBR2060CT-BP is available in bulk packaging with active product status.

MBR2060CTL (SMC Diode Solutions) maintains core electrical compatibility with 60 V reverse voltage and fast recovery characteristics. This part is available in tube packaging with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Forward voltage specification of 690 mV @ 10 A is lower than the original part, indicating improved efficiency characteristics.

SBR2060CT (Diodes Incorporated) is an active product utilizing Super Barrier technology instead of standard Schottky. It maintains 10 A current rating and 60 V reverse voltage with TO-220-3 packaging. Forward voltage of 700 mV @ 10 A is lower than the original specification. Recovery speed is standard (>500ns) rather than fast recovery. This part carries ROHS3 compliance and extended temperature range of -65°C to 150°C.

Secondary Substitute (Obsolete Status):

MBR2060CTP (Diodes Incorporated) is classified as obsolete product status. While it provides 20 A current rating and maintains electrical compatibility, its obsolete status makes it unsuitable for long-term design support. The isolated tab variant (ITO-220S package) provides electrical isolation between the tab and the die, which may be required in specific thermal management applications.

Compliance Considerations:

All recommended active substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance. MBR2060CTL carries REACH Affected status, while MBR2060CT and MBR2060CTP carry REACH Unaffected status. Design requirements for REACH compliance should be evaluated against specific application needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MBR2060CT (20 A rating) be used as a direct replacement for STPS2060CT (10 A rating)?

A: Yes. MBR2060CT maintains identical reverse voltage (60 V), diode configuration (1 pair common cathode), technology (Schottky), mounting type (through hole), and package (TO-220-3). The higher current rating of 20 A provides design margin and does not create compatibility issues in circuits designed for 10 A operation.

Q: What is the difference between MBR2060CT and SBR2060CT?

A: Both parts maintain 60 V reverse voltage, 10 A current rating, and TO-220-3 packaging. The primary differences are: (1) Technology—MBR2060CT uses Schottky technology while SBR2060CT uses Super Barrier technology; (2) Recovery speed—MBR2060CT has fast recovery (≤500ns) while SBR2060CT has standard recovery (>500ns); (3) Forward voltage—SBR2060CT has lower forward voltage (700 mV @ 10 A) compared to MBR2060CT at higher current (950 mV @ 20 A). SBR2060CT is suitable for applications where lower forward voltage drop is beneficial.

Q: Why is MBR2060CTP listed as obsolete when other MBR2060 variants are active?

A: MBR2060CTP is manufactured by Diodes Incorporated with an isolated tab variant (ITO-220S package). While the electrical specifications are compatible, this specific package variant has reached end-of-life status. Standard TO-220-3 variants such as MBR2060CT remain in active production.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: MBR2060CT is available in standard TO-220-3 packaging. MBR2060CT-BP is supplied in bulk packaging. MBR2060CTL is supplied in tube packaging. MBR2060CTP uses an isolated tab variant (ITO-220S). All maintain through-hole mounting compatibility with the original STPS2060CT TO-220-3 footprint, with the exception of MBR2060CTP which has electrical isolation between the tab and die.

Q: Which substitute part has the lowest forward voltage drop?

A: MBR2060CTL specifies 690 mV @ 10 A forward voltage, which is the lowest among the listed substitutes. This characteristic reduces power dissipation in rectification applications. However, the current rating for this specification is not provided in the available data.

Q: Can I use a 20 A rated part in a circuit designed for 10 A?

A: Yes. Higher current ratings indicate the component can safely handle greater current without exceeding thermal or electrical limits. A 20 A rated component operates within safe margins when used in a 10 A circuit. The circuit design remains unchanged.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 compliance?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates the component meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive requirements, restricting the use of specific hazardous materials including lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium. All recommended active substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original part.

Q: Does reverse leakage current affect circuit performance?

A: Reverse leakage current flows when the diode is reverse-biased. Lower reverse leakage reduces parasitic current paths and improves circuit efficiency. MBR2060CT and MBR2060CTP specify 100 µA @ 60 V, which is lower than the original STPS2060CT specification of 150 µA @ 60 V. MBR2060CTL specifies 1 mA @ 60 V, which is higher and may impact high-impedance circuit applications.
