Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SS8P4C-M3/87A are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters that must remain identical:

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Technology: Schottky
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 40 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): 4 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 580 mV @ 4 A
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 300 µA @ 40 V
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C ~ 150°C
• Package / Case: TO-277, 3-PowerDFN
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes. Variations in supplier device package designations or manufacturing date codes do not affect substitution eligibility when all electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.
