SS8P2L-M3/87A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SS8P2L-M3/87A is a Schottky rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division, part of the eSMP® series. This surface mount diode is rated for 20 V DC reverse voltage and 8 A average rectified current in a TO-277A (SMPC) package. The device is classified as Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with REACH unaffected designation.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when alternative components share identical electrical characteristics and mechanical compatibility within the same product category. Substitute parts enable procurement flexibility, accommodate supply chain variations, and provide alternative packaging or qualification options while maintaining functional equivalence in circuit applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SS8P2L-M3/87A are identified based on electrical parameter equivalence and mechanical compatibility. The substitution logic is based on 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):

• Technology: Schottky
• Package / Case: TO-277, 3-PowerDFN
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C to 150°C

Compliance Parameters (Must Match):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

Substitute parts may differ in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®) and product qualification level (standard industrial versus automotive AEC-Q101). These variations do not affect electrical or thermal performance in equivalent applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—SS8P2L-M3/87A, SS8P2L-M3/86A, and SS8P2LHM3_A/H—are electrically and mechanically equivalent Schottky rectifier diodes with identical performance specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by application requirements and supply chain considerations rather than functional differences.

SS8P2L-M3/87A is suitable for standard industrial applications requiring Tape & Reel packaging. This part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

SS8P2L-M3/86A provides equivalent electrical performance with alternative packaging options (Cut Tape and Digi-Reel®). This variant offers greater procurement flexibility for applications with different assembly requirements. Product status is Active with identical compliance certifications.

SS8P2LHM3_A/H is qualified to AEC-Q101 automotive standards and carries Automotive grade designation. This part is appropriate for automotive and mission-critical applications requiring automotive-level qualification. Electrical and thermal specifications remain identical to the standard industrial variants. This part is supplied in Tape & Reel format.

All three parts are RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no special handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SS8P2L-M3/86A be used as a direct replacement for SS8P2L-M3/87A?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent with identical electrical specifications, package type (TO-277, 3-PowerDFN), and thermal ratings. The primary difference is packaging format: SS8P2L-M3/87A is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while SS8P2L-M3/86A is available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel® formats. Selection depends on assembly equipment compatibility and procurement requirements.

Q: What is the difference between SS8P2LHM3_A/H and the other two parts?

A: SS8P2LHM3_A/H is qualified to AEC-Q101 automotive standards and carries Automotive grade designation. All electrical parameters, thermal ratings, and package specifications are identical to SS8P2L-M3/87A and SS8P2L-M3/86A. The automotive qualification makes this part suitable for automotive and safety-critical applications where AEC-Q101 compliance is required.

Q: Are there any temperature or voltage derating considerations when substituting these parts?

A: No. All three parts share identical operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C junction temperature) and voltage ratings (20 V DC reverse, 570 mV forward at 8 A). Thermal and electrical performance characteristics are equivalent across all substitutes.

Q: Do these parts require different handling or storage procedures?

A: No. All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or assembly. Standard handling procedures for surface mount components apply uniformly.

Q: Which part should be selected for a new automotive design?

A: SS8P2LHM3_A/H is the appropriate selection for automotive applications due to AEC-Q101 qualification and Automotive grade designation. This qualification ensures compliance with automotive industry reliability and quality standards.

Q: Are all three parts currently in production?

A: Yes. All three parts maintain Active product status, indicating current production and availability through authorized distributors.

Q: Can packaging format differences affect circuit performance?

A: No. Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®) affects only procurement and assembly logistics. Electrical performance, thermal characteristics, and reliability are independent of packaging format.
