V3P6HM3_A/I Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The V3P6HM3_A/I is a Schottky rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division, rated for 60V DC reverse voltage and 3A average rectified current in a surface mount DO-220AA package. This component is classified as an active product with automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q101) and is RoHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or design flexibility within the same performance envelope.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the V3P6HM3_A/I are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The substitution logic is based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 60 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 3 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 630 mV @ 3 A
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 900 µA @ 60 V
• Capacitance @ Vr, F: 250 pF @ 4V, 1MHz

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package / Case: DO-220AA (SMP)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount

Compliance & Qualification (Must Match):

• Technology: Schottky
• Grade: Automotive
• Qualification: AEC-Q101
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The V3P6HM3_A/H is a direct parametric equivalent to the V3P6HM3_A/I. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division and share identical electrical specifications, mechanical packaging, and compliance certifications.

Selection Basis:

Both parts are active products with AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and RoHS3 compliance. The electrical parameters—including reverse voltage rating (60V), average rectified current (3A), forward voltage drop (630 mV @ 3A), fast recovery speed (≤500ns), reverse leakage current (900 µA @ 60V), and junction capacitance (250 pF @ 4V, 1MHz)—are identical across both part numbers. The DO-220AA surface mount package and operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C) are equivalent.

The V3P6HM3_A/H variant differs only in packaging designation (tape & reel configuration), which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Selection between these parts is determined by inventory availability and supply chain requirements rather than functional differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can V3P6HM3_A/H be used as a direct replacement for V3P6HM3_A/I?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications, reverse voltage rating (60V), current rating (3A), forward voltage (630 mV @ 3A), and package type (DO-220AA surface mount). They are interchangeable in circuit design and layout.

Q: Are there differences in automotive qualification between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and are rated for automotive-grade applications. Both are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the difference between V3P6HM3_A/I and V3P6HM3_A/H?

A: The difference is in the packaging designation suffix. The "/I" and "/H" designations indicate different tape & reel configurations or supplier packaging variants. Electrical performance and mechanical compatibility are identical.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts use the same DO-220AA surface mount package and have identical pin configurations, footprints, and soldering requirements. No PCB layout modifications are required when substituting between these part numbers.

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

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching: reverse voltage (60V), average rectified current (3A), forward voltage drop (630 mV @ 3A), recovery speed (≤500ns), reverse leakage current (900 µA @ 60V), and junction capacitance (250 pF @ 4V, 1MHz). All these parameters are identical between V3P6HM3_A/I and V3P6HM3_A/H.

Q: Are there temperature rating differences?

A: No. Both parts operate across the same junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.

Q: What is the significance of the eSMP® and TMBS® series designation?

A: These designations indicate the product series and technology platform used by Vishay. Both parts belong to the same eSMP® and TMBS® series, confirming their parametric equivalence and design compatibility.
