SS36 V7G Schottky Diode Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SS36 V7G is a Schottky rectifier diode rated for 60 V DC reverse voltage and 3 A average rectified current in a DO-214AB (SMC) surface mount package. This component is classified as discontinued at DiGi Electronics, necessitating identification of equivalent and substitute parts for ongoing design requirements and procurement needs. The part maintains ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, making it suitable for industrial and commercial applications requiring fast recovery rectification.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SS36 V7G is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 60 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 3 A
• Technology: Schottky
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 500 µA @ 60 V
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C minimum and 150°C maximum
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

Package Compatibility: Substitutes must be surface mount technology. The SS36 V7G uses DO-214AB (SMC) packaging. The SS36 from MDD uses DO-214AC (SMA) packaging, which represents a different physical form factor. The CDBC360-G from Comchip Technology uses DO-214AB (SMC) packaging, matching the original part's physical footprint.

Substitute Classification:

1. Direct Equivalent (Same Base Part Number): SS36 by MDD maintains identical electrical specifications but differs in package form factor (SMA vs. SMC).

2. Similar Equivalent (Different Manufacturer): CDBC360-G by Comchip Technology provides matching electrical ratings and identical package type (DO-214AB, SMC) with marginally lower forward voltage specification (700 mV vs. 750 mV @ 3 A).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CDBC360-G (Comchip Technology) - Primary Substitute

The CDBC360-G is the preferred substitute for the SS36 V7G. This part maintains identical package form factor (DO-214AB, SMC), ensuring direct PCB compatibility without layout modifications. Electrical specifications are equivalent across all critical parameters: 60 V reverse voltage, 3 A average rectified current, fast recovery switching characteristics, and 500 µA reverse leakage current. The forward voltage specification of 700 mV @ 3 A is lower than the original 750 mV specification, representing improved efficiency characteristics. The part is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Product status is active with substantial inventory availability (32,125 pieces). The maximum junction temperature of 125°C is lower than the original part's 150°C specification; this difference must be evaluated against specific application thermal requirements.

SS36 (MDD) - Secondary Substitute

The SS36 from MDD provides identical electrical specifications and active product status with superior inventory availability (103,100 pieces). However, this part uses DO-214AC (SMA) packaging instead of the original DO-214AB (SMC) package. Physical dimensions and PCB footprints differ between these package types, requiring design layout modifications and potential PCB rework. This substitute is suitable only when PCB redesign is feasible or when the application permits package form factor variation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CDBC360-G directly replace the SS36 V7G without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. The CDBC360-G uses identical DO-214AB (SMC) packaging, ensuring direct PCB footprint compatibility. No layout modifications are required for this substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the lower forward voltage specification in the CDBC360-G (700 mV vs. 750 mV)?

A: The lower forward voltage specification indicates improved efficiency characteristics. At 3 A forward current, the CDBC360-G dissipates less power than the original specification allows. This represents a performance advantage and does not create compatibility issues.

Q: Why does the CDBC360-G have a lower maximum junction temperature (125°C vs. 150°C)?

A: The CDBC360-G specifies a maximum junction temperature of 125°C, compared to the original part's 150°C. Applications operating near or above 125°C junction temperature must evaluate thermal management to ensure the substitute part remains within specified operating limits.

Q: Is the SS36 from MDD a suitable substitute despite different packaging?

A: The SS36 from MDD is electrically equivalent but uses DO-214AC (SMA) packaging instead of DO-214AB (SMC). PCB redesign is required to accommodate the different physical footprint. This substitution is viable only when design modifications are permissible.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the CDBC360-G and SS36 (MDD) are ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), matching the original SS36 V7G specifications.

Q: What is the primary reason for seeking substitutes for the SS36 V7G?

A: The SS36 V7G is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Active substitute parts with equivalent electrical specifications and available inventory are necessary to support ongoing production and design requirements.

Q: Can the SS36 V7G and CDBC360-G be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes. Identical package type (DO-214AB, SMC), matching electrical specifications, and equivalent compliance certifications enable direct interchangeability without design modifications.
