Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SS315 V7G is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the Schottky diode rectifier category. The critical parameters governing substitution are:

• Voltage Rating: 150 V DC reverse voltage maximum
• Current Rating: 3 A average rectified current
• Technology: Schottky rectifier type
• Speed Characteristics: Fast recovery performance ≤ 500ns at > 200mA
• Reverse Leakage: 100 µA @ 150 V
• Package Configuration: DO-214AB (SMC) surface mount
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1

The SS315 (Tape & Reel packaging variant) represents a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent with identical parameter specifications. This substitute maintains full compatibility with the original SS315 V7G design while offering active product status and increased inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SS315 (Tape & Reel variant) is the direct substitute for the SS315 V7G. Both parts are manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation and share identical electrical specifications, thermal characteristics, and compliance certifications. The primary distinction is product status and packaging format: the SS315 V7G is discontinued, while the SS315 remains in active production with significantly higher inventory availability (12,200 pieces versus 901 pieces).

For applications requiring the DO-214AB (SMC) surface mount package with 150 V / 3 A Schottky rectifier performance, the SS315 in Tape & Reel format provides full functional equivalence. The Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated assembly processes and does not affect electrical or thermal performance.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity), and operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 150°C. Selection of the SS315 substitute eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining design compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SS315 (Tape & Reel) directly replace the SS315 V7G in existing designs?

A: Yes. The SS315 in Tape & Reel packaging is electrically and mechanically identical to the SS315 V7G. Both parts feature 150 V reverse voltage rating, 3 A average rectified current, DO-214AB (SMC) surface mount package, and identical thermal and compliance specifications. The packaging format difference (Tape & Reel versus bulk) does not affect component performance or PCB assembly compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the "Discontinued at DiGi Electronics" status for the SS315 V7G?

A: Discontinued status indicates the part is no longer actively produced or distributed through primary channels. This creates supply chain risk for ongoing production. The SS315 substitute maintains active product status with Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between the SS315 V7G and SS315 substitute?

A: No. Both parts are identical in all electrical parameters: 150 V DC reverse voltage maximum, 3 A average rectified current, 100 µA reverse leakage at 150 V, and fast recovery speed characteristics ≤ 500ns at > 200mA. Operating temperature range, RoHS compliance, and MSL rating are also identical.

Q: What does "Tape & Reel (TR)" packaging mean for component procurement?

A: Tape & Reel is the standard packaging format for automated surface mount assembly. Components are wound on continuous tape with carrier tape, enabling high-speed pick-and-place machine processing. This format is preferred for production volumes and does not affect component electrical characteristics or PCB mounting compatibility.

Q: Is the DO-214AB (SMC) package footprint identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both the SS315 V7G and SS315 substitute use the DO-214AB (SMC) surface mount package. The physical dimensions, lead configuration, and PCB footprint are identical, enabling direct substitution without PCB redesign.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance and regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8541.10.0080. Moisture sensitivity level is MSL 1 (unlimited) for both parts, indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling.
