MSKSEMI
A strong alternative in the same package with higher voltage/current ratings, but slightly higher forward voltage.
NSR1020MW2T1G is a 20V, 1A low forward voltage Schottky diode in a SOD-323 package, qualified for automotive applications. Finding a direct replacement requires careful review of forward voltage and qualification standards.
Higher forward voltage in all candidates increases power loss (P=Vf*If).
All kept candidates use the same SOD-323 package.
Target is AEC-Q101 qualified; substitutes are not, posing a risk for automotive designs.
No verified direct drop-in replacement exists. MS2A40LWS is a strong candidate but requires review for its slightly higher forward voltage and lack of automotive qualification.
MS2A40LWS offers the closest performance with upgraded voltage and current ratings, but requires verifying the impact of its slightly higher forward voltage.
Increased power dissipation and heat due to substitutes having a higher forward voltage (VF).
