A form-fit upgrade from the same manufacturer with a higher 3A current rating and automotive qualification.
LMBR160FT1G is a 60V, 1A Schottky diode in a compact SOD123FL package. While several functional alternatives exist, finding a direct pin-compatible replacement requires careful matching of the package and key electrical parameters like forward voltage.
Many alternatives are in different packages (SMB, SMC), requiring a board respin. Only candidates in SOD123FL are drop-in.
Some alternatives have higher forward voltage (Vf), which increases power loss and heat. This must be evaluated for thermal performance.
This is a common diode type with multiple vendors, but package availability can vary.
Yes, S-LMBR360FT1G is a strong candidate for a direct replacement for LMBR160FT1G. It shares the same SOD123FL package, 60V rating, and offers a higher 3A current rating.
S-LMBR360FT1G is the best replacement path, offering a form-fit upgrade with higher current and automotive qualification from the same manufacturer.
The main risk when replacing LMBR160FT1G is package incompatibility. Many potential alternatives use larger SMB or SMC packages which require a PCB redesign.
