Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can SS36-E3/57T be used as a direct replacement for SS36HM3_A/I?

A: Yes, from an electrical and package perspective. Both parts share identical voltage (60V), current (3A), forward voltage (750 mV @ 3A), and DO-214AB SMC package specifications. The primary difference is packaging format: SS36HM3_A/I is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR), while SS36-E3/57T is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel®. For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q101 qualification, SS36HE3_B/I or SS36HE3_B/H are preferred.

Q2: What is the difference between SS36HE3_B/I and SS36HE3_B/H?

A: Both parts are Vishay equivalents with identical electrical specifications and AEC-Q101 qualification. SS36HE3_B/I is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, while SS36HE3_B/H is available in both Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® and Tape & Reel (TR) packaging options. Selection depends on assembly equipment and procurement requirements.

Q3: Can Panjit SK36-AU_R1_000A1 replace SS36HM3_A/I in automotive applications?

A: Yes, with the following considerations: SK36-AU_R1_000A1 meets all electrical specifications (60V, 3A, 750 mV @ 3A) and carries AEC-Q101 qualification. The reverse leakage current is 100 µA @ 60V, which is lower than the main part specification of 500 µA @ 60V. This represents improved performance in reverse leakage characteristics and is acceptable for substitution.

Q4: Why is SS36 not recommended as a substitute?

A: SS36 uses a different package: DO-214AC (SMA) instead of DO-214AB (SMC). Although electrical specifications match (60V, 3A, 750 mV @ 3A), the package incompatibility prevents direct substitution on PCBs designed for DO-214AB footprints. Package and case selection is a critical substitution criterion.

Q5: What does AEC-Q101 qualification mean for component selection?

A: AEC-Q101 is an automotive industry qualification standard for discrete semiconductors. Parts carrying this qualification have undergone rigorous testing for reliability, temperature cycling, and performance consistency. For automotive applications, AEC-Q101 qualified parts (SS36HE3_B/I, SS36HE3_B/H, SK36-AU_R1_000A1) are preferred over non-qualified alternatives.

Q6: Can SK36-TP be used despite its Obsolete status?

A: SK36-TP is marked as Obsolete product status. While inventory may be available (20,324 Pcs), using obsolete components in new designs introduces supply chain risk and potential long-term availability issues. Active status alternatives (SS36HE3_B/I, SS36-E3/57T, SK36-AU_R1_000A1) are recommended for new designs.

Q7: What is the significance of Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and does not require special moisture control during storage or handling. All listed substitute parts carry MSL 1 classification, ensuring consistent handling requirements across the substitution group.

Q8: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all substitute parts listed carry ROHS3 Compliant status, matching the main part specification. This ensures environmental and regulatory compliance across the substitution group.
