VS-MBRB3030CTLPBF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VS-MBRB3030CTLPBF is a Schottky diode array manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. This component features a 1 Pair Common Cathode configuration rated for 30 V DC reverse voltage and 15 A average rectified current per diode. The device is housed in a TO-263-3 (D2PAK) surface mount package with automotive-grade qualification per AEC-Q101.

The VS-MBRB3030CTLPBF is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Equivalent substitute parts are available from the same manufacturer with identical electrical and mechanical specifications but different packaging formats and active product status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VS-MBRB3030CTLPBF is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. All substitute parts maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Technology: Schottky
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 30 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): 15 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 470 mV @ 15 A
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500 ns, > 200 mA (Io)
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 2 mA @ 30 V
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C ~ 150°C
• Package / Case: TO-263-3, D2PAK (2 Leads + Tab), TO-263AB
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute parts differ only in packaging format (Tube or Tape & Reel) and product status (Active vs. Discontinued).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts (VS-MBRB3030CTL-M3, VS-MBRB3030CTLL-M3, and VS-MBRB3030CTLR-M3) are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the VS-MBRB3030CTLPBF. The primary differences are packaging format and product status.

VS-MBRB3030CTL-M3 is supplied in Tube packaging and maintains Active product status. This part is suitable for applications requiring standard tube packaging with 762 units currently in stock.

VS-MBRB3030CTLL-M3 and VS-MBRB3030CTLR-M3 are both supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format and maintain Active product status. These parts are suitable for high-volume automated assembly processes. VS-MBRB3030CTLL-M3 has 1033 units in stock, while VS-MBRB3030CTLR-M3 has 1152 units in stock.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage conditions. Selection between these alternatives depends on production volume requirements and packaging format compatibility with assembly equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the substitute parts electrically identical to the VS-MBRB3030CTLPBF?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications including 30 V DC reverse voltage rating, 15 A average rectified current per diode, 470 mV forward voltage at 15 A, and fast recovery characteristics ≤ 500 ns.

Q: What is the difference between the three substitute parts?

A: The three substitute parts differ only in packaging format. VS-MBRB3030CTL-M3 is supplied in Tube packaging. VS-MBRB3030CTLL-M3 and VS-MBRB3030CTLR-M3 are both supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. All three are electrically and mechanically equivalent.

Q: Can I use Tape & Reel packaged parts in place of tube-packaged parts?

A: Tape & Reel packaging is designed for automated assembly processes. Compatibility depends on your assembly equipment's capability to handle TR format. Tube packaging is suitable for manual or semi-automated assembly.

Q: Are the substitute parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: The original VS-MBRB3030CTLPBF carries automotive-grade qualification per AEC-Q101. The substitute parts maintain identical electrical and thermal specifications and ROHS3 compliance. Confirmation of automotive qualification status for substitute parts should be obtained from the manufacturer for critical automotive applications.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these diodes?

A: The junction operating temperature range is -55°C to 150°C for all parts in this family.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All parts including the original VS-MBRB3030CTLPBF and all three substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these components?

A: All parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating unlimited shelf life under normal storage conditions without special moisture control requirements.
