A high-performance, pin-compatible upgrade with significantly lower power loss and leakage current.
Best Alternatives to MBR0560
MBR0560 is a 60V, 0.5A Schottky diode in a SOD-123 package, commonly used for rectification and polarity protection. Several pin-compatible and functional alternatives are available from various manufacturers.
AI replacement insight
Electrical risklow
Low if selecting a part with equal or better Vf and Ir. Medium for parts with higher Vf.
Package risklow
Low, as many alternatives use the same standard SOD-123 package.
Sourcing risklow
This is a common diode type available from multiple vendors.
Can it be replaced directly?
Direct replacement for MBR0560 should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Best replacement path
STPS0560Z from STMicroelectronics offers an upgrade in performance (lower Vf, lower Ir) in the same package.
Main risk
The main risk is substituting with a part that has a higher forward voltage (Vf), which increases power loss, or higher reverse leakage (Ir).
