Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 30CPF10 with VS-30APF10-M3 is based on identical electrical performance across all critical parameters. Both devices share the following specifications:

• Voltage rating: 1000 V DC reverse
• Current rating: 30 A average rectified
• Forward voltage drop: 1.41 V at 30 A
• Reverse recovery time: 450 ns
• Reverse leakage current: 100 µA at 1000 V
• Speed classification: Fast Recovery
• Package type: TO-247-3 (TO-247AC)
• Mounting configuration: Through Hole
• Junction temperature range: -40°C to 150°C

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and compliance certification. The 30CPF10 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while VS-30APF10-M3 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance. Both parts are manufactured by the same supplier and maintain identical electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The VS-30APF10-M3 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 30CPF10. Selection of VS-30APF10-M3 is appropriate for new designs and replacement applications where:

• Electrical performance specifications must remain unchanged
• RoHS3 compliance is required for regulatory or procurement standards
• Active product status and ongoing manufacturer support are necessary
• TO-247-3 through-hole package compatibility exists in the circuit design

The 30CPF10 should not be selected for new applications due to obsolete status. Existing inventory of 30CPF10 may be used in legacy systems where RoHS compliance is not mandated and component availability is not a constraint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VS-30APF10-M3 be used as a direct replacement for 30CPF10 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both devices are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. The TO-247-3 package footprint, pin configuration, and electrical ratings are equivalent. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from 30CPF10 to VS-30APF10-M3?
