• Package / Case: TO-252-3, DPAK (2 Leads + Tab), SC-63
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• FET Type: N-Channel
• Technology: MOSFET (Metal Oxide)

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Rds On (Max): Substitutes may vary within design margin
• Gate Charge (Qg): Substitutes may vary within design margin
• Power Dissipation (Max): Substitutes may exceed original specification
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): Substitutes may differ
• Product Status: Active substitutes preferred over discontinued

The identified substitutes maintain identical voltage and current ratings with compatible packaging, enabling direct functional replacement in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

IPD50R500CEAUMA1 (Parametric Equivalent): This substitute provides identical electrical characteristics to the main part, including matching Rds On, gate charge, and input capacitance specifications. The part is currently active in production and maintains the same CoolMOS™ CE series designation. Packaging and mounting configuration are identical. This substitute is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the original part specifications are required. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification.

SPD08N50C3ATMA1 (MFR Recommended): This substitute maintains the critical voltage and current ratings (500V, 7.6A) and identical TO-252-3 packaging. The part is actively produced by Infineon Technologies and carries superior moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1 vs. MSL 3). Power dissipation capability is increased to 83W, providing additional thermal margin. Gate charge and input capacitance are higher, requiring evaluation of gate drive circuit compatibility. This substitute is suitable for applications where increased power handling and improved moisture resistance are beneficial. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can IPD50R500CEAUMA1 be used as a direct replacement for IPD50R500CEATMA1?

A: Yes. The IPD50R500CEAUMA1 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications including Vdss (500V), Id (7.6A), Rds On (500 mOhm), gate charge (18.7 nC), and input capacitance (433 pF). Both use TO-252-3 surface mount packaging. The primary difference is product status: IPD50R500CEAUMA1 is currently active while the original is discontinued.

Q: What are the key differences between IPD50R500CEAUMA1 and SPD08N50C3ATMA1?

A: Both maintain 500V/7.6A ratings and TO-252-3 packaging. SPD08N50C3ATMA1 has higher Rds On (600 mOhm vs. 500 mOhm), higher gate charge (32 nC vs. 18.7 nC), and higher input capacitance (750 pF vs. 433 pF). SPD08N50C3ATMA1 offers increased power dissipation (83W vs. 57W) and superior moisture sensitivity (MSL 1 vs. MSL 3). Gate drive circuit compatibility must be verified due to increased gate charge.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. IPD50R500CEATMA1, IPD50R500CEAUMA1, and SPD08N50C3ATMA1 are all ROHS3 compliant. All three carry EAR99 ECCN classification and REACH Unaffected status.

Q: Can SPD08N50C3ATMA1 be used in high-frequency switching applications?

A: SPD08N50C3ATMA1 has higher gate charge (32 nC) and input capacitance (750 pF) compared to the original part (18.7 nC and 433 pF respectively). Gate drive circuit design and switching frequency capability must be evaluated based on specific application requirements.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: All three parts use identical TO-252-3 (DPAK with 2 Leads + Tab, SC-63) surface mount packaging. The primary packaging difference is in supply format: IPD50R500CEATMA1 is supplied as individual units, while IPD50R500CEAUMA1 and SPD08N50C3ATMA1 are supplied in Tape & Reel format.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on application requirements. For applications requiring exact electrical match to the original specification, IPD50R500CEAUMA1 is appropriate. For applications benefiting from increased power dissipation and improved moisture resistance, SPD08N50C3ATMA1 is suitable, provided gate drive circuit compatibility is confirmed.
