VS-10ETF02STRLPBF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VS-10ETF02STRLPBF is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. This component is rated for 200 V DC reverse voltage with a 10 A average rectified current capacity and features fast recovery characteristics with a 200 ns reverse recovery time. The device is housed in a TO-263AB (D2PAK) surface mount package with two leads plus a tab configuration.

The VS-10ETF02STRLPBF has been discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Locating an active equivalent or substitute part is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure ongoing component availability for production and repair applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VS-10ETF02STRLPBF is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following criteria establish valid substitution:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 200 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 10 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.2 V @ 10 A
• Reverse Recovery Time (trr): 200 ns
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 100 µA @ 200 V
• Speed Classification: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package / Case: TO-263-3, D2PAK (2 Leads + Tab), TO-263AB
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount

Compliance Parameters (Must Match):

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

The substitute part VS-10ETF02STRL-M3 meets all electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements for direct substitution. The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus bulk) and product status (Active versus Discontinued).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The VS-10ETF02STRL-M3 is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the VS-10ETF02STRLPBF. All critical electrical parameters, including reverse voltage rating, forward current capacity, forward voltage drop, and reverse recovery time, are identical. The package footprint and mounting type are identical, ensuring PCB layout compatibility without modification.

The VS-10ETF02STRL-M3 holds Active product status, whereas the original part is Discontinued at DiGi Electronics. This status difference makes the substitute part the appropriate selection for ongoing production and procurement.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings, satisfying regulatory and environmental requirements. The substitute part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, which is standard for high-volume surface mount assembly operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VS-10ETF02STRL-M3 be used as a direct replacement for VS-10ETF02STRLPBF in existing designs?

A: Yes. The VS-10ETF02STRL-M3 is electrically and mechanically equivalent. All electrical parameters, package dimensions, and pin configurations are identical. No circuit modifications or PCB layout changes are required.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging format. The VS-10ETF02STRLPBF is discontinued and supplied in bulk packaging. The VS-10ETF02STRL-M3 is active and supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for automated surface mount assembly.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry identical moisture sensitivity ratings (MSL 1 - Unlimited), and are manufactured by the same company using the same technology. Regulatory and environmental compliance is equivalent.

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging affect electrical performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel packaging is a distribution format only. It does not affect the electrical characteristics, performance, or reliability of the diode itself. The component specifications remain identical.

Q: Can the VS-10ETF02STRL-M3 handle the same voltage and current levels?

A: Yes. The VS-10ETF02STRL-M3 is rated for 200 V DC reverse voltage and 10 A average rectified current, identical to the original part. Forward voltage drop and reverse recovery time are also identical.

Q: Is the TO-263AB package footprint the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use the TO-263-3 (D2PAK) package with 2 leads plus a tab. The physical dimensions, pin spacing, and mounting requirements are identical, ensuring direct PCB compatibility.
