Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SS8P2LHM3_A/H are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the Vishay eSMP® Schottky diode series. The substitution logic is governed by the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• 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: 330 pF @ 4V, 1MHz

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package / Case: TO-277, 3-PowerDFN
• Supplier Device Package: TO-277A (SMPC)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount

Compliance & Grade (Must Match):

• Technology: Schottky
• Grade: Automotive
• Qualification: AEC-Q101
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C to 150°C

Packaging format variations (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and are considered interchangeable for component selection purposes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SS8P2L-M3/86A is a direct parametric equivalent to the SS8P2LHM3_A/H. Both components share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and package form factor (TO-277A SMPC). Both parts are manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division within the eSMP® series and maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings.

The primary distinction between these parts is the packaging format: the main part number is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the substitute is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. This difference does not affect component performance, electrical characteristics, or mechanical compatibility in circuit applications.

Both parts are active products with confirmed inventory availability. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement requirements, supply chain logistics, and packaging format preferences for manufacturing processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SS8P2L-M3/86A be used as a direct replacement for SS8P2LHM3_A/H in circuit applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametrically identical Schottky rectifier diodes with matching electrical specifications (20 V, 8 A, 570 mV forward voltage), identical package form factor (TO-277A SMPC), and equivalent automotive-grade qualifications. The components are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging?

A: Tape & Reel and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® are packaging and delivery format variations of the same component. They do not affect the electrical performance or mechanical compatibility of the diode. The choice between formats depends on manufacturing equipment compatibility and procurement volume requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: The main part number SS8P2LHM3_A/H is explicitly specified as automotive-grade with AEC-Q101 qualification. The substitute part SS8P2L-M3/86A shares identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the same eSMP® series from the same manufacturer. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and operate across the same temperature range (-55°C to 150°C junction temperature).

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that define substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by matching: Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) at 20 V maximum, Current - Average Rectified (Io) at 8 A, Voltage - Forward (Vf) at 570 mV @ 8 A, Fast Recovery speed characteristics (≤ 500ns), Current - Reverse Leakage at 200 µA @ 30 V, and Capacitance at 330 pF @ 4V, 1MHz. All these parameters are identical between the main part and substitute.

Q: Is the TO-277A (SMPC) package form factor identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both SS8P2LHM3_A/H and SS8P2L-M3/86A use the TO-277, 3-PowerDFN package with TO-277A (SMPC) supplier device package designation. The mechanical dimensions, pin configuration, and surface mount compatibility are identical.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, and are REACH unaffected. The main part is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive applications. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division and maintain active product status.
