Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SS36 R7 is determined by equivalence across the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Voltage Rating: Maximum DC reverse voltage of 60 V
• Current Rating: Average rectified current of 3 A
• Forward Voltage Drop: 750 mV maximum at 3 A forward current
• Recovery Speed: Fast recovery characteristic ≤ 500ns for currents > 200mA
• Reverse Leakage: 500 µA maximum at 60 V reverse bias
• Package Type: DO-214AB surface mount configuration
• Temperature Range: Junction temperature operation from -55°C to 150°C
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance requirement

The SS36H meets all specified electrical parameters and maintains identical package geometry, enabling direct substitution in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SS36H serves as a direct parametric equivalent to the SS36 R7 across all specified electrical characteristics and package geometry. The primary distinction is product status: the SS36 R7 is discontinued, while the SS36H maintains active status with significantly higher inventory availability (23,400 pieces versus 888 pieces).

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical operating temperature specifications. The SS36H includes AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, providing additional quality assurance for applications requiring automotive-grade components. The packaging format difference (Tape & Reel for SS36H versus bulk for SS36 R7) reflects standard distribution practices and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Selection of the SS36H is appropriate for new designs and ongoing production requiring the 60 V, 3 A Schottky rectifier specification in DO-214AB surface mount configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SS36H directly replace the SS36 R7 in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. The SS36H matches all electrical parameters of the SS36 R7, including voltage rating, current rating, forward voltage drop, recovery speed, reverse leakage, and operating temperature range. The DO-214AB package geometry is identical, enabling direct PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging format difference between SS36 R7 and SS36H?

A: The SS36 R7 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the SS36H is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. This difference reflects distribution and handling methods only and does not affect component electrical performance or PCB mounting compatibility.

Q: Why is the SS36H listed as AEC-Q101 qualified while the SS36 R7 is not?

A: AEC-Q101 qualification indicates the SS36H meets automotive industry reliability and quality standards. This additional qualification does not alter the electrical specifications but provides enhanced assurance for applications requiring automotive-grade components. The SS36H remains suitable for non-automotive applications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between SS36 R7 and SS36H?

A: Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and ECCN/HTSUS classifications. No compliance barriers exist to substitution.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to selecting between these parts?

A: The SS36 R7 is discontinued with limited remaining inventory (888 pieces). The SS36H is active with substantially higher availability (23,400 pieces), making it the appropriate choice for ongoing procurement and production planning.
