Electrical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Technology: Schottky
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 50 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): 4 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 700 mV @ 4 A
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500 ns, > 200 mA (Io)
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 50 µA @ 50 V
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C ~ 150°C

Mechanical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Package / Case: TO-277, 3-PowerDFN
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount

Compliance Parameters:

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

Substitute parts identified below maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) and base product numbering do not affect functional compatibility in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both identified substitute parts maintain full electrical and mechanical equivalence to the SS8P6CHM3_A/I. Selection between the main part and substitutes is determined by availability and packaging requirements:

SS8P6CHM3_A/I (Main Part): Supplied in Tape & Reel format with 851 pieces in stock. Automotive-grade qualification under AEC-Q101 is documented.

SS8P5C-M3/86A (Substitute): Supplied in Tape & Reel format with 12,300 pieces in stock. Highest inventory availability. Base product number differs (SS8P5 versus SS8P6), but all electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical. Product Status is Active. RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are maintained.

SS8P6CHM3_A/H (Substitute): Supplied in Cut Tape format with 3,716 pieces in stock. Identical base product number to main part (SS8P6). Automotive-grade qualification under AEC-Q101 is documented. All electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical. Product Status is Active. RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are maintained.

All three parts are manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division and belong to the eSMP® series. Substitution is valid for applications requiring identical electrical performance and surface mount TO-277, 3-PowerDFN package compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SS8P5C-M3/86A be used as a direct replacement for SS8P6CHM3_A/I?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (50 V reverse voltage, 4 A average rectified current, 700 mV forward voltage at 4 A, fast recovery ≤ 500 ns), identical diode configuration (1 Pair Common Cathode), and identical package format (TO-277, 3-PowerDFN surface mount). The difference in base product number (SS8P5 versus SS8P6) does not affect functional compatibility. Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Q: What is the difference between SS8P6CHM3_A/I and SS8P6CHM3_A/H?

A: The primary difference is packaging format. SS8P6CHM3_A/I is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while SS8P6CHM3_A/H is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. All electrical parameters, mechanical specifications, automotive qualification (AEC-Q101), and compliance ratings are identical. Both share the same base product number (SS8P6).

Q: Are all three parts automotive-grade?

A: SS8P6CHM3_A/I and SS8P6CHM3_A/H are explicitly qualified as automotive-grade under AEC-Q101. SS8P5C-M3/86A does not list automotive grade or AEC-Q101 qualification in the provided specifications. For applications requiring automotive qualification, SS8P6CHM3_A/I or SS8P6CHM3_A/H are the appropriate selections.

Q: Can packaging format affect circuit performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel and Cut Tape formats are supply and handling formats only. They do not affect electrical performance, thermal characteristics, or mechanical fit in the circuit. The component itself remains identical regardless of packaging format.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for moisture sensitivity?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level. Components with this rating have unlimited shelf life under normal storage conditions and do not require special moisture control during handling or storage prior to assembly.

Q: Are all parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts—SS8P6CHM3_A/I, SS8P5C-M3/86A, and SS8P6CHM3_A/H—are ROHS3 compliant, confirming compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability?

A: SS8P5C-M3/86A has the highest inventory with 12,300 pieces in stock, compared to 3,716 pieces for SS8P6CHM3_A/H and 851 pieces for SS8P6CHM3_A/I.
