What risks should I check before replacing SS16T3G?

Ensure the replacement is also a Schottky diode. Check that reverse voltage (Vr) and forward current (If) ratings are equal or greater. Also compare forward voltage drop (Vf) and reverse leakage current (Ir), as these affect efficiency and thermal performance.

SS16T3G Alternatives, Datasheet & Cross Reference | onsemi

SS16T3G is a 60V, 1A Schottky rectifier in an SMA package from onsemi. Strong alternatives include other Schottky diodes from manufacturers like STMicroelectronics, often with improved voltage and current ratings.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskhigh

High risk if replacing with a different diode type (e.g., Fast Recovery); low risk if using a compatible Schottky.

Package risklow

SMA (DO-214AC) is a standard package with many compatible options.

Can it be replaced directly?

STPS2H100A is a robust upgrade choice. STPS2L60A is a closer match but lacks a voltage safety margin, requiring careful design review.

Best replacement path

Upgrade to a higher-rated Schottky diode like STPS2H100A for improved parametric margins.

Main risk

Replacing with a non-Schottky (e.g., Fast Recovery) diode, which would increase power loss due to higher forward voltage.

Recommended alternatives

A robust upgrade with significantly higher voltage and current ratings in the same package.
