Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the VS-16CTQ080STRR-M3 are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameter Equivalence:

• Identical Schottky diode array technology
• Matching 80 V DC reverse voltage rating
• Matching 8 A average rectified current per diode
• Identical forward voltage specification (720 mV @ 8 A)
• Matching fast recovery speed characteristic (≤ 500 ns, > 200 mA)
• Identical reverse leakage current (550 µA @ 80 V)
• Matching operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 175°C)

Mechanical and Packaging Compatibility:

• Identical TO-263-3 (D2PAK) surface mount package
• Same pin configuration (2 Leads + Tab)
• Identical supplier device package designation (TO-263AB)

Regulatory and Compliance Alignment:

• ROHS3 compliance maintained across all substitutes
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) consistency
• Same base product number (16CTQ080)

Substitutes differ only in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Tube), which does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility in the application circuit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—VS-16CTQ080STRR-M3, VS-16CTQ080STRL-M3, and VS-16CTQ080S-M3—are manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division and maintain Active product status. Each part is electrically and mechanically identical, with all electrical parameters, thermal characteristics, and package specifications matching exactly.

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format:

VS-16CTQ080STRR-M3 and VS-16CTQ080STRL-M3 are both supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly processes. Both carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings.

VS-16CTQ080S-M3 is supplied in Tube packaging format, suitable for manual handling and lower-volume applications. Compliance certifications for this variant are not specified in the provided data.

Selection between these parts depends on procurement requirements, assembly methodology, and inventory management practices rather than electrical or mechanical performance considerations. All three parts are direct functional equivalents for the TO-263-3 (D2PAK) Schottky diode array application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VS-16CTQ080S-M3 (Tube packaging) be used as a direct replacement for VS-16CTQ080STRR-M3 (Tape & Reel packaging)?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging format only. VS-16CTQ080S-M3 is supplied in Tube format while VS-16CTQ080STRR-M3 is supplied in Tape & Reel format. The actual component specifications, pin configuration, and performance characteristics are identical. Selection depends on assembly process requirements and handling procedures.

Q: Are all three parts compatible with the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. All three parts use the identical TO-263-3 (D2PAK) surface mount package with 2 Leads + Tab configuration. PCB footprint, land pattern, and mounting requirements are identical across VS-16CTQ080STRR-M3, VS-16CTQ080STRL-M3, and VS-16CTQ080S-M3.

Q: What is the significance of the "16CTQ080" base product number?

A: The base product number 16CTQ080 identifies the core electrical specification: a 1 Pair Common Cathode Schottky diode array rated for 80 V and 8 A. All three substitute parts share this base designation, confirming electrical equivalence. Suffixes (-M3, -STRR, -STRL, -S) indicate packaging and supplier-specific variations.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: VS-16CTQ080STRR-M3 and VS-16CTQ080STRL-M3 are both specified as ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited). Compliance certifications for VS-16CTQ080S-M3 are not provided in the available data. Verify compliance documentation with the supplier if regulatory requirements mandate specific certifications.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Tube packaging?

A: Tape & Reel packaging is used for high-volume automated assembly, where components are fed directly into pick-and-place machines. Tube packaging is used for manual handling, lower-volume production, or component storage. Both formats contain the identical component; the packaging format affects handling and assembly methodology only.

Q: Are there any thermal or electrical performance differences between the three parts?

A: No. All three parts have identical thermal characteristics (operating temperature range -55°C ~ 175°C), electrical ratings (80 V, 8 A, 720 mV forward voltage), and performance specifications (fast recovery ≤ 500 ns, 550 µA reverse leakage). Performance is determined by the base product specification (16CTQ080), not by packaging format.
