MURS160T3G is a 600V, 1A AEC-Q101 qualified ultrafast rectifier in an SMB package, designed for high-frequency automotive and industrial applications. Finding a suitable replacement requires matching its ultrafast recovery time (trr) and package.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskhigh

Substituting a slow (standard) diode for an ultrafast one will cause malfunction.

Package risklow

The SMB (DO-214AA) package is common and standardized.

Sourcing riskmedium

AEC-Q101 qualification may be required for automotive uses, limiting options.

Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for MURS160T3G should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Upgrade within the same onsemi MURS family to MURS360BT3G for a higher 3A current rating.

Main risk

Using a standard recovery diode instead of an ultrafast one, which can lead to excessive heat and circuit failure in high-frequency designs.
