Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 72CPQ030 is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The substitute part must satisfy all of the following criteria:

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Technology: Schottky
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 30 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): 35 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 510 mV @ 35 A
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500 ns, > 200 mA (Io)
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 1.9 mA @ 30 V
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C ~ 150°C
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: TO-247-3
• Supplier Device Package: TO-247AC

The substitute part VS-72CPQ030-N3 meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters and is therefore a direct parametric equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The VS-72CPQ030-N3 is the direct parametric equivalent to the 72CPQ030. Both components are manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division and share identical electrical specifications and mechanical packaging.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and compliance certification. The 72CPQ030 is obsolete and carries RoHS non-compliant status. The VS-72CPQ030-N3 is an active production part with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring alignment with current regulatory requirements and ongoing manufacturer support.

For new designs or component replenishment, the VS-72CPQ030-N3 is the appropriate selection. Both parts are functionally interchangeable at the circuit level due to identical electrical and thermal characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the VS-72CPQ030-N3 be used as a direct replacement for the 72CPQ030?

A: Yes. The VS-72CPQ030-N3 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical ratings, forward voltage characteristics, reverse leakage, thermal range, and TO-247-3 package configuration. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the 72CPQ030 and VS-72CPQ030-N3?
