UPS140/TR13 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UPS140/TR13 is a Schottky diode manufactured by Microchip Technology, rated for 40V DC reverse voltage and 1A average rectified current in a Surface Mount Powermite package. This component is classified as Active product status and is designed for fast recovery applications with switching speeds ≤500ns at currents >200mA. The UPS140/TR13 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the original packaging format is unavailable, when alternative compliance certifications are required, or when inventory constraints necessitate sourcing from alternative distribution channels while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UPS140/TR13 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 40V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 1A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 450 mV @ 1A
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤500ns, >200mA (Io)
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 400 µA @ 40V
• Package / Case: DO-216AA
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C to 125°C
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part UPS140E3/TR7 maintains identical electrical performance across all critical parameters. The primary difference is the packaging format: UPS140E3/TR7 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format rather than standard Tape & Reel (TR). Both parts share the same base product number (UPS140) and are manufactured by Microchip Technology.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

UPS140/TR13 is the primary specification when standard Tape & Reel packaging is required for automated assembly processes. This part maintains Active product status and is suitable for high-volume production environments where TR packaging is the standard delivery format.

UPS140E3/TR7 is the electrical equivalent when Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging is acceptable or preferred. This substitute offers the additional advantage of ROHS3 compliance, which may be required for applications subject to RoHS3 regulatory requirements. Both parts are Active products with identical electrical performance and thermal operating ranges.

Selection between these two parts should be based on:

1. Packaging format compatibility with assembly equipment
2. Regulatory compliance requirements (RoHS3 certification)
3. Inventory availability and supply chain considerations
4. Cost and lead time factors specific to your procurement channel

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are UPS140/TR13 and UPS140E3/TR7 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Microchip Technology and share identical electrical specifications: 40V reverse voltage rating, 1A average rectified current, 450mV forward voltage drop at 1A, and fast recovery switching characteristics ≤500ns. They are housed in the same DO-216AA package and operate across the same temperature range (-55°C to 125°C).

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous tape wound on a reel, optimized for high-speed automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging provides components on cut tape segments, suitable for lower-volume production or manual assembly processes. Both formats use the same physical component in the DO-216AA package.

Q: Does the RoHS3 compliance difference affect component performance?

A: No. RoHS3 compliance is a regulatory certification indicating the absence of restricted substances (lead, cadmium, mercury, etc.). It does not alter electrical performance, thermal characteristics, or reliability. The UPS140E3/TR7 is RoHS3 compliant; the UPS140/TR13 is not. Selection depends on regulatory requirements for your end application.

Q: Can I use UPS140E3/TR7 in place of UPS140/TR13 in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided your assembly equipment can accommodate Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical, and both parts are rated for the same operating conditions. Verify packaging compatibility with your production line before implementation.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity. These components do not require special moisture-controlled storage or handling procedures and can be stored under standard industrial conditions.

Q: Are both parts currently in stock?

A: Inventory status is subject to change. UPS140/TR13 has 1026 pieces available; UPS140E3/TR7 has 1938 pieces available as of the reference date. Verify current availability with your supplier before placing orders.
