Best Alternatives to SS36SMC

Package: SMC (DO-214AB)BORNDiodes - Rectifiers - SingleDiode Type: SchottkyVoltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 60 VCurrent - Average Rectified (Io): 3 AVoltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 0.70 V @ 3 ACurrent - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 0.5 mA @ 60 V

The SS36SMC is a 60V, 3A Schottky rectifier in an SMC package, common in power applications. Alternatives exist but require careful review of forward voltage and temperature range.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskhigh

Using a non-Schottky diode will significantly increase power loss and may cause circuit failure.

Package risklow

The SMC package is standardized, so mechanical fit is generally not an issue.

Sourcing risklow

This is a common diode specification with multiple manufacturers available.

Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for SS36SMC should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

SS36(SMC) by TWGMC is the strongest candidate, but requires verifying its narrower temperature range is acceptable for the application.

Main risk

The main risks are substituting with a non-Schottky diode, which has much higher forward voltage, or selecting a part with a different temperature range or higher forward voltage.
