Best Alternatives to LMBR160FT1G

Package: SOD123FLLRCDiodes - Rectifiers - SingleDiode Type: SchottkyVoltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 60 VCurrent - Average Rectified (Io): 1 AVoltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 0.7 V @ 1 ACurrent - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 0.5 mA @ 60 V

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.

AI replacement insight

Package riskhigh

Many alternatives are in different packages (SMB, SMC), requiring a board respin. Only candidates in SOD123FL are drop-in.

Electrical riskmedium

Some alternatives have higher forward voltage (Vf), which increases power loss and heat. This must be evaluated for thermal performance.

Sourcing risklow

This is a common diode type with multiple vendors, but package availability can vary.

Can it be replaced directly?

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.

Best replacement path

S-LMBR360FT1G is the best replacement path, offering a form-fit upgrade with higher current and automotive qualification from the same manufacturer.

Main risk

The main risk when replacing LMBR160FT1G is package incompatibility. Many potential alternatives use larger SMB or SMC packages which require a PCB redesign.
