AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

Differences in forward voltage (Vf) and reverse leakage (Ir) can impact circuit efficiency and thermals.

Package risklow

SOD-123 is a standard package, but variants like SOD-123FL exist and are not compatible.

Can it be replaced directly?

Yes, B16W is a potential pin-to-pin replacement for the RB160M-60, sharing the same package and ratings. However, its forward voltage is slightly higher, which requires review.

Best replacement path

B16W offers a close parametric match, while SS36FA provides higher current handling capability as an upgrade.

Main risk

The primary risk is substituting with a general-purpose diode instead of a Schottky, causing significant performance loss. Also check for minor differences in forward voltage (Vf).
