Is there a pin-compatible replacement for RB160M-30TR?

Yes, several pin-compatible replacements exist in the same SOD-123 package. The RB060M-30TR and RB160M-60TR from ROHM are strong candidates that match the form factor and pinout.

What risks should I check before replacing RB160M-30TR?

Verify the replacement's forward voltage (Vf) to ensure power efficiency is maintained, check that reverse voltage (Vr) and forward current (If) meet or exceed 30V and 1A, and confirm the lifecycle status for long-term availability.

RB160M-30TR Alternatives, Datasheet & Cross Reference | ROHM

The ROHM RB160M-30TR is a 30V, 1A Schottky diode in a SOD-123 package, now Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND). Engineers should consider modern, active alternatives for new projects.

AI replacement insight

Electrical risklow

Family alternatives have similar or better specs.

Package risklow

SOD-123 is a standard package with many options.

Sourcing riskhigh

Target and best-fit options are NRND.

Can it be replaced directly?

Yes, the ROHM RB060M-30TR is a strong candidate, offering a higher 2A current rating and better efficiency in the same SOD-123 package. Note that both parts are NRND.

Best replacement path

The best replacement path is selecting another ROHM diode from the same family, such as RB060M-30TR for higher current or RB160M-60TR for higher voltage.

Main risk

The main risk is sourcing, as the target and its closest alternatives are NRND. For new designs, an active part from a different series should be qualified.

Recommended alternatives

A strong, same-series alternative with double the current rating (2A) and improved efficiency.
