Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the M30H100CTHE3_A/P is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Technology: Schottky
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 100 V minimum
• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): Equal to or greater than 15 A
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)

Mechanical and Environmental Requirements:

• Grade: Automotive
• Qualification: AEC-Q101
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts must meet or exceed all electrical parameters while maintaining automotive-grade qualification and AEC-Q101 certification. Mounting type and package format may differ based on application requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

STPS40M100CT (STMicroelectronics)

The STPS40M100CT is the direct Through Hole equivalent to the M30H100CTHE3_A/P. Both components utilize the TO-220-3 package format, enabling direct mechanical and electrical substitution without PCB redesign. The STPS40M100CT exceeds the electrical requirements of the original part with 20 A current rating versus 15 A, while maintaining identical 100 V reverse voltage rating and Fast Recovery Schottky technology. The component holds active product status with ROHS3 compliance and AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. This substitute is suitable for applications requiring Through Hole mounting without design modification.

V40PW10CHM3/I (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division)

The V40PW10CHM3/I is a surface mount equivalent offering superior electrical performance characteristics. This component provides 20 A current rating and lower forward voltage drop (890 mV @ 20 A) compared to the original specification. The V40PW10CHM3/I is packaged in SlimDPAK (TO-252-3) format and maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance and AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. This substitute requires PCB layout modification to accommodate surface mount technology but offers improved thermal performance and reduced board space requirements. The component is suitable for new designs or redesigned applications where surface mount implementation is feasible.

Both substitute parts maintain automotive-grade qualification and AEC-Q101 certification, ensuring compliance with automotive industry standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the V40PW10CHM3/I replace the M30H100CTHE3_A/P in existing Through Hole designs?

A: No. The V40PW10CHM3/I uses surface mount SlimDPAK packaging, while the M30H100CTHE3_A/P uses Through Hole TO-220-3 packaging. Direct substitution requires PCB redesign. For Through Hole applications, use the STPS40M100CT.

Q: What are the key electrical differences between the substitute parts?

A: Both substitutes exceed the original 15 A current rating with 20 A capability. The STPS40M100CT provides lower forward voltage (780 mV @ 20 A) compared to the V40PW10CHM3/I (890 mV @ 20 A). Both maintain the 100 V reverse voltage rating and Fast Recovery Schottky technology.

Q: Are both substitute parts automotive qualified?

A: Yes. Both the STPS40M100CT and V40PW10CHM3/I hold AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and automotive-grade classification, matching the original part's certification status.

Q: What is the difference in reverse leakage current between the parts?

A: The M30H100CTHE3_A/P specifies 5 µA @ 100 V reverse leakage. The STPS40M100CT specifies 70 µA @ 100 V, and the V40PW10CHM3/I specifies 500 µA @ 100 V. Both substitutes exceed the original specification but remain within acceptable Schottky diode parameters.

Q: Can I use the V40PW10CHM3/I in a new design if I modify the PCB layout?

A: Yes. The V40PW10CHM3/I is active product status with ROHS3 compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification. Surface mount implementation requires appropriate PCB layout design for the SlimDPAK package format.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference?

A: The M30H100CTHE3_A/P operates from -65°C to 175°C. The STPS40M100CT operates to 150°C maximum, and the V40PW10CHM3/I operates from -40°C to 150°C. Applications requiring the full -65°C lower temperature limit require design verification.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the STPS40M100CT and V40PW10CHM3/I are ROHS3 compliant. The original M30H100CTHE3_A/P RoHS status is not specified in the provided data.
