Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Status):

SS5P9-M3/87A and SS5P9-M3/86A are direct parametric equivalents with active product status. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the obsolete SS5P9-E3/87A. SS5P9-M3/87A is available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging with 18,300 units in stock. SS5P9-M3/86A is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging with 12,300 units in stock. Selection between these two depends on procurement and assembly requirements.

Automotive-Grade Alternatives:

SS5P9HM3_A/H and SS5P9HM3_A/I are automotive-grade variants qualified to AEC-Q101 standard. These parts maintain all electrical and mechanical equivalence while providing automotive qualification. SS5P9HM3_A/I offers the highest inventory availability at 39,300 units in stock. SS5P9HM3_A/H provides 1,800 units in stock. Both are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Selection of automotive-grade variants is appropriate for applications requiring automotive qualification or enhanced reliability assurance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SS5P9-M3/86A and SS5P9-M3/87A be used interchangeably with SS5P9-E3/87A?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications (90 V reverse voltage, 5 A average rectified current, 880 mV forward voltage at 5 A, 15 µA reverse leakage at 90 V) and mechanical specifications (TO-277A SMPC package, surface mount). The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging format (Cut Tape/Digi-Reel versus Tape & Reel).

Q: What is the difference between SS5P9-M3/86A and SS5P9-M3/87A?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging format: SS5P9-M3/86A is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® format, while SS5P9-M3/87A is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Selection depends on assembly equipment compatibility and procurement preferences.

Q: Are the automotive-grade variants (SS5P9HM3_A/H and SS5P9HM3_A/I) suitable for non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. Automotive-grade parts meet or exceed standard industrial specifications. SS5P9HM3_A/H and SS5P9HM3_A/I maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the standard variants and are AEC-Q101 qualified. These parts are suitable for any application requiring the specified electrical characteristics.

Q: What is the difference between SS5P9HM3_A/H and SS5P9HM3_A/I?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. The designation difference reflects manufacturing or qualification tracking. Both are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. SS5P9HM3_A/I has significantly higher inventory availability (39,300 units versus 1,800 units).

Q: Does the TO-277A (SMPC) package remain consistent across all substitute parts?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use the identical TO-277, 3-PowerDFN package in TO-277A (SMPC) supplier device package format. PCB layout, thermal management, and assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring compatibility with environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for all substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts operate across the junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C, identical to the original SS5P9-E3/87A.
