Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 8EWF10STRL are identified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. All substitute candidates must satisfy the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 1000 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 8 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.3 V @ 8 A
• Reverse Recovery Time (trr): 270 ns
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 100 µA @ 1000 V
• Speed Classification: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: TO-252-3, DPAK (2 Leads + Tab), SC-63
• Supplier Device Package: TO-252AA (DPAK)
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -40°C ~ 150°C
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

The three substitute parts listed below meet all electrical and mechanical requirements and are manufactured by the same supplier, Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts—VS-8EWF10STR-M3, VS-8EWF10STRL-M3, and VS-8EWF10STRR-M3—are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the obsolete 8EWF10STRL. The primary differentiators are product status and regulatory compliance.

Product Status: The main part 8EWF10STRL is obsolete. All three substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing support from Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division.

Regulatory Compliance: The 8EWF10STRL is RoHS non-compliant. All three substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components. All parts maintain REACH Unaffected status.

Packaging Consideration: The main part is supplied in bulk packaging. All substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for automated assembly processes.

Selection among the three substitute parts should be based on procurement requirements, inventory availability, and packaging format compatibility with manufacturing processes. All three parts satisfy identical electrical and thermal specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VS-8EWF10STR-M3, VS-8EWF10STRL-M3, or VS-8EWF10STRR-M3 be used as direct replacements for 8EWF10STRL?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 8EWF10STRL. They share identical voltage ratings (1000 V), current ratings (8 A), forward voltage characteristics (1.3 V @ 8 A), reverse recovery time (270 ns), and package specifications (TO-252-3 DPAK). They are suitable for direct substitution in circuit designs.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the 8EWF10STRL?

A: The 8EWF10STRL is classified as obsolete. The substitute parts are active products with ongoing manufacturing support, ensuring long-term component availability and supply chain continuity.

Q: Are there regulatory differences between the main part and the substitutes?

A: Yes. The 8EWF10STRL is RoHS non-compliant, while all three substitute parts (VS-8EWF10STR-M3, VS-8EWF10STRL-M3, and VS-8EWF10STRR-M3) are ROHS3 compliant. This compliance difference is significant for applications subject to environmental regulations or customer requirements mandating RoHS compliance.

Q: Do the substitute parts have the same package specifications?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use the TO-252-3 DPAK (2 Leads + Tab) package with SC-63 designation and TO-252AA (DPAK) supplier device package. They are compatible with existing PCB layouts and assembly equipment configured for the original part.

Q: What is the difference between the three substitute part numbers?

A: The three substitute parts—VS-8EWF10STR-M3, VS-8EWF10STRL-M3, and VS-8EWF10STRR-M3—are electrically identical. The differences in part number suffixes reflect internal Vishay manufacturing or traceability designations. All three parts meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications and are interchangeable from a functional standpoint.

Q: Are the substitute parts available in the same packaging format as the original?

A: No. The 8EWF10STRL is supplied in bulk packaging, while all substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated surface mount assembly. If bulk packaging is required, contact the supplier regarding alternative packaging options.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these diodes?

A: The operating temperature range for the junction is -40°C to 150°C for both the main part and all substitute parts. This specification applies to all four parts listed in this reference.

Q: Are there any differences in moisture sensitivity between the parts?

A: No. All parts, including the main part and substitutes, have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
