Excellent alternative with matching ratings and improved forward voltage and leakage.
Best Alternatives to MBRX160
MBRX160 is a 60V, 1A Schottky rectifier in a SOD-123 package. This page reviews and compares potential alternatives for applications requiring similar or upgraded performance.
AI replacement insight
Electrical risklow
Low if replacing with another Schottky diode like DSS16 or DSS210. High if diode type is mismatched.
Package risklow
SOD-123 and SOD-123FL packages are footprint-compatible, posing minimal risk.
Can it be replaced directly?
Direct replacement for MBRX160 should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Best replacement path
DSS16 offers the most direct replacement path with matching ratings and improved secondary characteristics.
Main risk
The main risk is accidentally using a standard or fast-recovery diode instead of a Schottky, which would cause higher power loss and potential timing issues.
