S8JC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The S8JC is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, rated for 600 V DC reverse voltage and 8 A average rectified current. The device is packaged in the DO-214AB (SMC) surface mount configuration and is classified as Active product status. This diode is designed for standard recovery applications in power conversion and rectification circuits. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide design flexibility, inventory alternatives, and sourcing options while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within specified parameter ranges.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the S8JC are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter compatibility. The primary substitution criteria are:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 600 V
• Package / Case: DO-214AB, SMC
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 10 µA @ 600 V
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

Current Rating Consideration: The S8JC is rated for 8 A average rectified current. Substitute parts must be evaluated for current capacity. Parts with equal or greater current ratings maintain full functional equivalence. Parts with lower current ratings operate within reduced current envelope and are classified as functional substitutes with current derating.

Recovery Speed: The S8JC operates with Standard Recovery (>500 ns, >200 mA). Substitute parts with different recovery characteristics are noted but remain electrically compatible at the specified voltage and leakage parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

S8JC (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation)

The S8JC is the primary reference part. It is Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. This part is suitable for applications requiring 8 A rectified current at 600 V reverse voltage with standard recovery characteristics. The operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C accommodates industrial and commercial applications.

MURS360T3G (onsemi) - Functional Substitute with Current Derating

The MURS360T3G is a functional substitute for the S8JC with the following considerations:

• Voltage and leakage parameters are identical (600 V, 10 µA @ 600 V)
• Package and mounting type are identical (DO-214AB, SMC, Surface Mount)
• Current rating is 3 A, which is 37.5% of the S8JC rating
• Recovery speed is Fast Recovery (≤500 ns), compared to Standard Recovery (>500 ns) for the S8JC
• Operating temperature range is extended (-65°C to 175°C)
• Both parts are Active status with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1

The MURS360T3G is suitable for applications where the required rectified current does not exceed 3 A. The faster recovery time may provide performance benefits in high-frequency switching applications. The extended temperature range provides additional operational margin in extreme temperature environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MURS360T3G directly replace the S8JC in all applications?

A: The MURS360T3G is a direct mechanical and electrical substitute only for applications where the required average rectified current does not exceed 3 A. The identical voltage rating (600 V), reverse leakage (10 µA @ 600 V), package (DO-214AB, SMC), and mounting type (Surface Mount) ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility. Applications requiring more than 3 A average rectified current must use the S8JC or an equivalent 8 A rated part.

Q: What is the significance of the recovery speed difference between S8JC and MURS360T3G?

A: The S8JC operates with Standard Recovery (>500 ns), while the MURS360T3G operates with Fast Recovery (≤500 ns). Standard recovery diodes are optimized for lower-frequency rectification and power conversion. Fast recovery diodes are optimized for higher-frequency switching applications. The choice between these recovery characteristics depends on the circuit operating frequency and switching requirements. Both are electrically compatible at the specified voltage and current parameters.

Q: Are both parts suitable for RoHS and REACH-compliant applications?

A: Yes. Both the S8JC and MURS360T3G are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage and handling.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature range between the two parts?

A: The S8JC operates from -55°C to 150°C junction temperature. The MURS360T3G operates from -65°C to 175°C junction temperature. The MURS360T3G provides an extended lower temperature limit (10°C additional margin) and extended upper temperature limit (25°C additional margin). Selection between these ranges depends on the specific application thermal environment.

Q: Are the package dimensions identical between S8JC and MURS360T3G?

A: Both parts use the DO-214AB (SMC) package with Surface Mount configuration. The package case designation is identical. PCB footprint and land pattern compatibility are ensured for direct substitution at the mechanical level.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these parts?

A: The S8JC has 4,100 pieces in stock. The MURS360T3G has 105,100 pieces in stock. Inventory availability may influence sourcing decisions for high-volume production or time-sensitive applications.
