Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RFN6BM2DTL is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 200 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): 6 A
• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Speed Classification: Fast Recovery ≤ 500 ns, > 200 mA (Io)

Mechanical & Environmental Compatibility:

• Package / Case: TO-252-3, DPAK (2 Leads + Tab), SC-63
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

Parts are classified into two substitution categories:

Parametric Equivalent: Parts matching all electrical specifications and package requirements with identical or compatible packaging formats (Tape & Reel or Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®).

Similar Equivalent: Parts matching core electrical specifications and package requirements with variations in forward voltage characteristics or packaging format (Tube packaging).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RFN6BM2DFHTL (Parametric Equivalent - Rohm Semiconductor):

This part is a direct parametric equivalent to RFN6BM2DTL with identical electrical specifications. The primary difference is packaging format: RFN6BM2DFHTL is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format, whereas RFN6BM2DTL is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, Active product status, and feature automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q101) for RFN6BM2DFHTL. Selection between these two Rohm parts depends on procurement volume requirements and assembly line equipment compatibility with the respective packaging formats.

VS-6CWH02FN-M3 (Similar Equivalent - Vishay General Semiconductor):

This part matches the core electrical specifications and package type (TO-252-3 DPAK) but differs in forward voltage characteristics and operating temperature range. The VS-6CWH02FN-M3 exhibits a higher forward voltage of 1.2 V @ 6 A compared to 980 mV @ 3 A for the RFN6BM2DTL, and provides an extended operating temperature range of -65°C to 175°C versus 150°C maximum for the Rohm part. The VS-6CWH02FN-M3 is supplied in Tube packaging. This part is suitable for applications where the higher forward voltage and extended temperature range are acceptable or beneficial. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and MSL 1 rated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RFN6BM2DFHTL be used as a direct replacement for RFN6BM2DTL?

A: Yes. RFN6BM2DFHTL is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications, diode configuration, voltage ratings, current ratings, and package type (TO-252-3 DPAK). The difference is packaging format: RFN6BM2DFHTL uses Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® while RFN6BM2DTL uses Tape & Reel. Compatibility depends on assembly equipment capability to process the respective packaging formats.

Q: What are the key differences between RFN6BM2DTL and VS-6CWH02FN-M3?

A: Both parts share identical reverse voltage (200 V), current rating (6 A per diode), diode configuration (1 pair common cathode), and package type (TO-252-3 DPAK). Differences include: forward voltage (980 mV @ 3 A for RFN6BM2DTL versus 1.2 V @ 6 A for VS-6CWH02FN-M3), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C for VS-6CWH02FN-M3 versus 150°C maximum for RFN6BM2DTL), and packaging format (Tube for VS-6CWH02FN-M3 versus Tape & Reel for RFN6BM2DTL).

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. RFN6BM2DTL, RFN6BM2DFHTL, and VS-6CWH02FN-M3 are all ROHS3 compliant and rated MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level).

Q: Which part should be selected for automotive applications?

A: RFN6BM2DFHTL carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. RFN6BM2DTL and VS-6CWH02FN-M3 do not list automotive qualification in the provided specifications. For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q101 qualification, RFN6BM2DFHTL is the specified choice.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format (Tape & Reel, Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®, or Tube) affects procurement, storage, and assembly handling but does not alter electrical performance. Selection is based on assembly line equipment compatibility and procurement volume requirements.

Q: Can VS-6CWH02FN-M3 be used in applications requiring the exact forward voltage of RFN6BM2DTL?

A: No. VS-6CWH02FN-M3 has a higher forward voltage (1.2 V @ 6 A) compared to RFN6BM2DTL (980 mV @ 3 A). Applications with strict forward voltage requirements must use RFN6BM2DTL or RFN6BM2DFHTL.
