Is there a pin-compatible replacement for 1N60PW?

Yes, parts like STPS0560Z and RB160M-60 are available in the same 2-pin SOD-123 package and are considered pin-compatible. However, always verify the datasheet landing pattern.

What risks should I check before replacing 1N60PW?

Key risks include ensuring the replacement is a Schottky diode to maintain low forward voltage, and checking that its capacitance and reverse leakage are suitable for your circuit's frequency and power budget.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskhigh

Using a non-Schottky diode will increase forward voltage drop, impacting circuit performance.

Package risklow

SOD-123 is a standard package, but watch for minor variants like SOD-123FL.

Can it be replaced directly?

STPS0560Z by STMicroelectronics is a strong candidate for direct replacement, being a pin-compatible Schottky diode with superior electrical ratings.

Best replacement path

Upgrade to a modern Schottky diode like STPS0560Z for improved voltage and current margins.

Main risk

The primary risk is substituting with a standard switching diode instead of a Schottky, which would result in a higher forward voltage drop.

Recommended alternatives

A pin-compatible Schottky diode with higher voltage and current ratings, serving as a robust upgrade.
