Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the VS-16CTQ080SPBF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Technology: Schottky
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 80 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): 8 A
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Package / Case: TO-263-3, D2PAK (2 Leads + Tab), TO-263AB
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount

The substitute part VS-16CTQ080S-M3 meets all mandatory matching parameters and shares the same base product number (16CTQ080), confirming functional and mechanical compatibility. The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format and product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The VS-16CTQ080S-M3 is the direct substitute for the discontinued VS-16CTQ080SPBF. Both components share identical electrical specifications, diode configuration, and mechanical package format (TO-263-3, D2PAK).

Availability and Status: The VS-16CTQ080S-M3 is currently active in production with 3626 units in stock, whereas the VS-16CTQ080SPBF is discontinued. Selection of the active substitute part ensures supply chain continuity.

Compliance: The VS-16CTQ080SPBF is ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). Component selection should verify that the substitute part maintains equivalent compliance certifications for the target application.

Packaging Consideration: The primary difference between these parts is packaging format. The VS-16CTQ080SPBF is supplied in Tape and Reel format, while the VS-16CTQ080S-M3 is supplied in Tube format. Procurement and assembly processes must accommodate the packaging change.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the VS-16CTQ080S-M3 be used as a direct replacement for the VS-16CTQ080SPBF?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (80 V, 8 A), diode configuration (1 Pair Common Cathode), technology (Schottky), and mechanical package (TO-263-3, D2PAK). The parts are functionally equivalent and mechanically compatible.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The main differences are product status and packaging format. The VS-16CTQ080SPBF is discontinued and supplied in Tape and Reel format. The VS-16CTQ080S-M3 is active and supplied in Tube format. Both are manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division and share the same base product number (16CTQ080).

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts meet the same core electrical specifications. The forward voltage (Vf) is specified at different test conditions: VS-16CTQ080SPBF at 880 mV @ 16 A and VS-16CTQ080S-M3 at 720 mV @ 8 A. Both parts maintain identical reverse voltage (80 V), average rectified current (8 A per diode), and reverse leakage current (550 µA @ 80 V) ratings.

Q: Does the operating temperature range differ between these parts?

A: The VS-16CTQ080SPBF specifies a maximum junction temperature of 175°C. The VS-16CTQ080S-M3 specifies an operating temperature range of -55°C to 175°C. Both parts support the same maximum junction temperature.

Q: Will the packaging change from Tape and Reel to Tube affect assembly?

A: Yes. Tape and Reel packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly, while Tube packaging is typically used for manual handling or lower-volume assembly processes. Assembly equipment and procedures must be evaluated for compatibility with Tube packaging.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The VS-16CTQ080SPBF is confirmed ROHS3 compliant. RoHS compliance status for the VS-16CTQ080S-M3 is not specified in the provided data. Compliance verification is required before final component selection.
