Package / Case: TO-220-3 Full Pack, Isolated Tab (mechanical and thermal interface requirement)
Mounting Type: Through Hole (board assembly compatibility)
Technology: Schottky (switching speed and forward voltage characteristics)

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): 15 A (current handling capacity)
Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 570 mV @ 15 A (power dissipation and efficiency)
Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 500 µA @ 60 V (leakage characteristics)
Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C ~ 150°C (thermal operating range)

Substitutes are grouped into two categories:

Category A - Direct Equivalents (Identical Configuration): Parts with 1 Pair Common Cathode configuration, 60 V rating, 15 A current rating, and TO-220-3 package. These parts maintain identical electrical interface and current handling specifications.

Category B - Compatible Alternatives (Different Configuration or Current Rating): Parts with 1 Pair Common Cathode or Common Anode configuration, 60 V rating, and TO-220-3 package, but with different current ratings or forward voltage characteristics. These parts are mechanically compatible but require circuit-level evaluation for current capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the VFT3060C-E3/4W be used as a direct replacement for the TSF30U60C?

A: The VFT3060C-E3/4W is electrically compatible with the TSF30U60C. Both devices feature identical 1 Pair Common Cathode configuration, 60 V reverse voltage rating, 15 A average rectified current per diode, and TO-220-3 Full Pack, Isolated Tab packaging. The forward voltage of the VFT3060C-E3/4W is 700 mV @ 15 A compared to 570 mV @ 15 A for the TSF30U60C, and reverse leakage is 1.2 mA @ 60 V versus 500 µA @ 60 V. These differences result in higher power dissipation and leakage current. Direct substitution is possible where these characteristics are acceptable for the application.

Q: What is the key difference between the STF2060CR and the TSF30U60C?

A: The primary difference is diode configuration. The TSF30U60C is configured as 1 Pair Common Cathode, while the STF2060CR is configured as 1 Pair Common Anode. This difference affects the electrical connections and circuit topology. The STF2060CR is not pin-compatible with the TSF30U60C and requires circuit redesign for substitution. Both devices share the same 60 V reverse voltage rating and TO-220-3 package.

Q: Is the MBRF1560CT-E3/45 suitable for all applications using the TSF30U60C?

A: The MBRF1560CT-E3/45 is suitable only for applications where the current requirement does not exceed 7.5 A per diode. The MBRF1560CT-E3/45 is rated for 7.5 A average rectified current per diode, while the TSF30U60C is rated for 15 A. Both devices share the same 60 V reverse voltage rating, 1 Pair Common Cathode configuration, and TO-220-3 package. Applications requiring the full 15 A current capacity cannot use the MBRF1560CT-E3/45.

Q: What does REACH Affected status mean for the STF3060C and STF2060CR?

A: REACH Affected status indicates that the component is subject to the European Union's Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation. This status may impose additional compliance requirements, documentation, and restrictions depending on the application and jurisdiction. The TSF30U60C and VFT3060C-E3/4W are listed as REACH Unaffected, meaning they are not subject to these additional requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging?

A: All substitute parts listed are packaged in TO-220-3 Full Pack with Isolated Tab and are suitable for through-hole mounting. The supplier device package designation is ITO-220AB for all parts. This ensures mechanical and thermal interface compatibility with the TSF30U60C.

Q: What is the significance of the forward voltage difference between the TSF30U60C and VFT3060C-E3/4W?

A: The TSF30U60C has a forward voltage of 570 mV @ 15 A, while the VFT3060C-E3/4W has 700 mV @ 15 A. This 130 mV difference results in higher power dissipation in the VFT3060C-E3/4W. For a 15 A load, the additional power dissipation is approximately 1.95 W. Applications with thermal constraints or high-frequency switching may be affected by this difference. Thermal management and heat sink design should be evaluated when substituting.

Q: Can the STF3060C be used as a substitute if the average rectified current is not specified?

A: The STF3060C specifications do not include the average rectified current per diode value. While the device shares the same 60 V reverse voltage rating, 1 Pair Common Cathode configuration, and TO-220-3 package as the TSF30U60C, the absence of current rating specification introduces uncertainty regarding current handling capacity. Substitution should be based on manufacturer documentation confirming current capability equivalent to or exceeding the TSF30U60C 15 A rating.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference between the MBRF1560CT-E3/45 and the TSF30U60C?

A: The TSF30U60C operates from -55°C to 150°C junction temperature. The MBRF1560CT-E3/45 operates from -65°C to 150°C junction temperature. The MBRF1560CT-E3/45 provides an additional 10°C of low-temperature operation capability. This extended range may be beneficial for applications requiring operation in cold environments.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant. The TSF30U60C, VFT3060C-E3/4W, MBRF1560CT-E3/45, STF3060C, and STF2060CR all meet ROHS3 compliance requirements. This ensures compatibility with environmental regulations and manufacturing standards across all listed alternatives.
