Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SS8P3CL-M3/87A are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The substitution criteria are defined by the following key parameters:

Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
Technology: Schottky
Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 30 V
Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): 4 A
Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 540 mV @ 4 A
Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500 ns, > 200 mA (Io)
Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 300 µA @ 30 V
Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C ~ 150°C
Package / Case: TO-277, 3-PowerDFN
Mounting Type: Surface Mount

Parts meeting all of these parameters are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes. The SS8P3CL-M3/86A meets all specified electrical and mechanical requirements and is therefore a valid substitute for the SS8P3CL-M3/87A.
