Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SS8P2LHM3/87A is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 20 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 8 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 570 mV @ 8 A
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 200 µA @ 30 V
• Capacitance @ Vr, F: 330pF @ 4V, 1MHz
• Package / Case: TO-277, 3-PowerDFN
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C ~ 150°C
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

All identified substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications and package configuration. Differences exist only in product status (active versus discontinued), packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape), and automotive qualification grades where applicable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute (Direct Replacement): SS8P2L-M3/87A is the primary substitute for SS8P2LHM3/87A. This part maintains identical electrical and thermal specifications while offering active product status and availability in Tape & Reel packaging format. Selection of this part eliminates obsolescence risk associated with the discontinued original part number.

Secondary Substitutes (Parametrically Equivalent): SS8P2LHM3_A/I and SS8P2L-M3/86A are parametrically equivalent alternatives. Both parts maintain all critical electrical parameters and package specifications. SS8P2LHM3_A/I includes automotive qualification (AEC-Q101) and is available in Tape & Reel format. SS8P2L-M3/86A is available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel® formats, offering flexibility for different procurement and assembly workflows.

Automotive-Qualified Substitute: SS8P2LHM3_A/H is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade components with AEC-Q101 qualification. This part is active and available in Tape & Reel packaging, providing both compliance certification and supply continuity.

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and maintain the same moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited), ensuring compatibility with standard handling and storage procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SS8P2L-M3/87A be used as a direct replacement for SS8P2LHM3/87A?

A: Yes. SS8P2L-M3/87A is electrically and mechanically equivalent to SS8P2LHM3/87A across all critical parameters including voltage rating, current capacity, forward voltage drop, switching speed, reverse leakage current, and junction temperature range. The primary difference is product status (active versus discontinued) and packaging format availability.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications. Differences exist in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®), product status (all active), and automotive qualification. SS8P2LHM3_A/I and SS8P2LHM3_A/H include AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, while SS8P2L-M3/86A and SS8P2L-M3/87A do not specify automotive grade.

Q: Are there any thermal or electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. All parts share identical thermal specifications (operating temperature range -55°C to 150°C) and electrical characteristics (20 V reverse voltage, 8 A current rating, 570 mV forward voltage at 8 A, 200 µA reverse leakage at 30 V, and 330pF capacitance at 4V, 1MHz).

Q: Which substitute should be selected for automotive applications?

A: For automotive applications, select either SS8P2LHM3_A/I or SS8P2LHM3_A/H, both of which carry AEC-Q101 qualification. Both parts are active and available in Tape & Reel packaging.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format (Tape & Reel, Cut Tape, or Digi-Reel®) affects procurement, handling, and assembly processes but does not alter electrical or thermal performance. Selection should be based on assembly equipment compatibility and supply chain requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage environments.
