• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 150 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 8 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.08 V @ 8 A
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 150 µA @ 150 V
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500 ns, > 200 mA (Io)
• Package / Case: TO-277, 3-PowerDFN
• Supplier Device Package: TO-277A (SMPC)
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -40°C ~ 150°C
• Technology: Schottky
• Series: eSMP®, TMBS®
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

All substitute parts listed below meet these criteria without exception. Substitutes are grouped as parametric equivalents, indicating identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility within the specified operating range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—V8P15HM3/I, V8P15-M3/H, and V8P15HM3/H—are active products manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division and are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. They share identical electrical specifications and mechanical packaging.

For applications requiring automotive-grade qualification and AEC-Q101 certification, V8P15HM3/I and V8P15HM3/H are the appropriate selections. Both parts carry automotive grade designation and AEC-Q101 qualification.

V8P15-M3/H is a parametric equivalent without specified automotive grade or AEC-Q101 qualification. This part is suitable for non-automotive applications where the electrical and mechanical specifications are the primary selection criteria.

Selection between V8P15HM3/I and V8P15HM3/H for automotive applications depends on inventory availability and procurement requirements, as both meet identical specifications and certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can V8P15-M3/H be used as a direct substitute for V8P15HM3/I in automotive applications?

A: V8P15-M3/H meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of V8P15HM3/I. However, V8P15-M3/H does not carry automotive grade designation or AEC-Q101 qualification. For automotive applications requiring these certifications, V8P15HM3/H is the appropriate substitute.

Q: Are all three parts pin-compatible?

A: Yes. All three parts use the TO-277A (SMPC) package with identical pinout and mechanical dimensions. They are directly interchangeable at the board level.

Q: What is the difference between V8P15HM3/I and V8P15HM3/H?

A: Both parts are identical in electrical specifications, mechanical packaging, automotive grade, and AEC-Q101 qualification. The difference is indicated in the part number suffix and may relate to manufacturing date code or internal Vishay tracking. Both are active products suitable for automotive applications.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. All three parts share the same operating temperature range of -40°C to 150°C junction temperature. They are suitable for identical thermal environments.

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

A: eSMP® and TMBS® are Vishay series designations for Schottky rectifier diodes. All three parts belong to these series, indicating they share the same technology platform and performance characteristics.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity considerations different between these parts?

A: V8P15-M3/H and V8P15HM3/H both specify Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 (Unlimited). V8P15HM3/I does not specify MSL in the provided data. For moisture-sensitive applications, V8P15-M3/H and V8P15HM3/H provide explicit MSL rating.

Q: What is the base product number, and how does it relate to these parts?

A: The base product number is V8P15. All three parts are variants of this base product, differentiated by suffix codes that indicate packaging, qualification, or manufacturing specifications.
