TSF10H60C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSF10H60C is a Schottky diode array manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, configured as a 1 Pair Common Cathode arrangement in a TO-220-3 Full Pack with Isolated Tab package. This component is rated for 60 V DC reverse voltage with 5 A average rectified current per diode and features fast recovery characteristics. The part is currently Active in product status and ROHS3 compliant.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide design flexibility when the primary part is unavailable, when inventory constraints exist, or when application requirements permit operation with alternative electrical characteristics within the same package and voltage class.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TSF10H60C are qualified based on the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Technology: Schottky
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 60 V
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: TO-220-3 Full Pack, Isolated Tab
• Product Status: Active
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): Equal to or greater than 5 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: May vary with current rating
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: May vary within acceptable limits
• Operating Temperature - Junction: May extend the specified range

The two substitute parts identified—MBRF1560CT-E3/45 and VFT3060C-E3/4W—satisfy all mandatory matching parameters and provide current ratings equal to or exceeding the TSF10H60C specification, making them suitable for direct substitution in applications where the TSF10H60C is unavailable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TSF10H60C (Primary Part) The TSF10H60C is the specified component and remains the first choice when available. It is Active in product status, ROHS3 compliant, and REACH unaffected. Current inventory is 1033 pieces.

MBRF1560CT-E3/45 (Substitute - Moderate Current Upgrade) The MBRF1560CT-E3/45 is a direct substitute with a 7.5 A current rating, representing a 50% increase over the TSF10H60C. This part is Active in product status, ROHS3 compliant, and REACH unaffected. It maintains the same 60 V reverse voltage rating and TO-220-3 package configuration. The extended operating temperature range (-65 to 150°C) provides additional thermal margin. Current inventory is 1348 pieces. This substitute is suitable for applications where the TSF10H60C is unavailable and the higher current capability does not create thermal or circuit design conflicts.

VFT3060C-E3/4W (Substitute - High Current Upgrade) The VFT3060C-E3/4W is a direct substitute with a 15 A current rating, representing a 300% increase over the TSF10H60C. This part is Active in product status, ROHS3 compliant, and REACH unaffected. It maintains the same 60 V reverse voltage rating and TO-220-3 package configuration. The TMBS® series designation indicates enhanced performance characteristics. Current inventory is 16500 pieces. This substitute is suitable for applications where the TSF10H60C is unavailable and the significantly higher current capability is compatible with circuit design requirements.

All three parts are compliant with the same regulatory standards and are suitable for through-hole PCB assembly in identical footprints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MBRF1560CT-E3/45 or VFT3060C-E3/4W be used as direct replacements for TSF10H60C?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain the same 60 V reverse voltage rating, 1 Pair Common Cathode configuration, Schottky technology, and TO-220-3 Full Pack Isolated Tab package. They are pin-compatible and mount in identical PCB footprints. The higher current ratings of the substitutes do not prevent their use in applications designed for the TSF10H60C.

Q: What is the primary difference between the two substitute parts?

A: The MBRF1560CT-E3/45 provides 7.5 A current capacity, while the VFT3060C-E3/4W provides 15 A current capacity. Both exceed the TSF10H60C specification of 5 A. The VFT3060C-E3/4W offers significantly higher current handling capability and is part of the TMBS® series.

Q: Are there any thermal considerations when substituting with higher-current parts?

A: The substitute parts have identical TO-220-3 packages and thermal characteristics are determined by the specific application circuit design, PCB layout, and thermal management. Higher current ratings do not inherently create thermal issues if the application circuit does not draw the additional current capacity.

Q: Do all three parts have the same operating temperature range?

A: The TSF10H60C and VFT3060C-E3/4W both operate from -55 to 150°C. The MBRF1560CT-E3/45 extends the lower temperature limit to -65°C, providing additional cold-temperature margin.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The TSF10H60C, MBRF1560CT-E3/45, and VFT3060C-E3/4W are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the reverse leakage current difference between these parts?

A: The TSF10H60C specifies 500 µA reverse leakage at 60 V. The MBRF1560CT-E3/45 specifies 1 mA, and the VFT3060C-E3/4W specifies 1.2 mA. These differences are within acceptable ranges for Schottky diode technology and do not prevent substitution.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in the same circuit?

A: Yes, provided the circuit design does not depend on the specific current or leakage characteristics of the TSF10H60C. The identical package, voltage rating, and configuration ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
