Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VS-16CTQ080STRRPBF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• 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)
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 550 µA @ 80 V

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

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

Compliance Parameters (Must Match):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Grade: Automotive
• Qualification: AEC-Q101

The substitute part VS-16CTQ080STRR-M3 meets all critical electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements. The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus bulk) and product status (Active versus Discontinued). Forward voltage characteristics differ slightly but remain within acceptable operating parameters for the same application class.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

VS-16CTQ080STRR-M3 as Primary Substitute:

The VS-16CTQ080STRR-M3 is the direct functional equivalent of the VS-16CTQ080STRRPBF. Both components share identical electrical ratings, mechanical package specifications, and automotive-grade certifications including AEC-Q101 qualification and ROHS3 compliance.

The VS-16CTQ080STRR-M3 is currently in active production status, making it the appropriate selection for new designs, production restocking, and field replacements where the original VS-16CTQ080STRRPBF is no longer available.

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format: the substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel format, which is standard for high-volume manufacturing and automated assembly processes. The bulk packaging of the original part is no longer available through current distribution channels.

Both parts are manufactured by the same supplier (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division) and share the same base product number (16CTQ080), confirming design and performance equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VS-16CTQ080STRR-M3 be used as a direct replacement for VS-16CTQ080STRRPBF in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components have identical electrical specifications (80 V reverse voltage, 8 A average rectified current, Schottky technology, 1 Pair Common Cathode configuration), identical mechanical packages (TO-263-3 D2PAK), and identical automotive qualifications (AEC-Q101, ROHS3 Compliant). The components are functionally interchangeable at the circuit level.

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

A: The primary difference is packaging format. VS-16CTQ080STRRPBF is supplied in bulk packaging, while VS-16CTQ080STRR-M3 is supplied in Tape & Reel format. The Tape & Reel format is standard for automated surface mount assembly. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay and share the same base product number (16CTQ080).

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

A: Both parts meet the same electrical specifications for reverse voltage (80 V), average rectified current (8 A per diode), reverse leakage current (550 µA @ 80 V), and recovery speed (Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns). Forward voltage characteristics are measured at different current levels (880 mV @ 16 A for the original part versus 720 mV @ 8 A for the substitute), but both operate within acceptable parameters for the same application class.

Q: Is the TO-263-3 D2PAK package identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both the VS-16CTQ080STRRPBF and VS-16CTQ080STRR-M3 use the TO-263-3 D2PAK package with 2 leads and a tab. The mechanical footprint, pin configuration, and thermal characteristics are identical. No PCB layout modifications are required when substituting between these parts.

Q: Do both parts meet automotive qualification requirements?

A: Yes. Both components are automotive-grade parts qualified to AEC-Q101 standard and are ROHS3 compliant. They are suitable for automotive applications and meet the same regulatory and quality standards.

Q: Why is the original part discontinued?

A: The VS-16CTQ080STRRPBF is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. The VS-16CTQ080STRR-M3 remains in active production and is the current standard offering from Vishay for this product line. The substitute part represents the current manufacturing standard for this diode array configuration.

Q: Can I use these parts in high-temperature applications?

A: Both parts are rated for a maximum junction temperature of 175°C. The VS-16CTQ080STRR-M3 specifies an operating temperature range of -55°C to 175°C. Applications requiring operation at these temperature extremes should verify thermal management and circuit design against the specific operating conditions.
