Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the VS-16TTS08STRL-M3 is determined by the following criteria:

• Identical voltage rating: 800V off-state blocking voltage
• Identical gate trigger specifications: Vgt max 2V, Igt max 60mA
• Identical on-state performance: Vtm max 1.4V, It(RMS) max 16A
• Identical hold current and off-state leakage specifications
• Identical surge current rating: 200A @ 50Hz
• Identical operating temperature range: -40°C to 125°C
• Identical package: TO-263-3, D2PAK surface mount
• Same manufacturer: Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division
• Same product status: Active
• Same compliance certifications: ROHS3, MSL 1

The substitute part VS-16TTS08S-M3 meets all electrical and mechanical requirements. The only difference is the packaging format: tape & reel (TR) for the main part versus tube packaging for the substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the VS-16TTS08STRL-M3 and VS-16TTS08S-M3 are active production parts from Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division with identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. Selection between these parts is determined by supply chain and assembly requirements:

• VS-16TTS08STRL-M3 is supplied in tape & reel format, suitable for high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly operations.
• VS-16TTS08S-M3 is supplied in tube format, suitable for lower-volume manual assembly or when tape & reel packaging is not required.

Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, confirming suitability for standard surface mount assembly processes. No thermal, electrical, or mechanical performance differences exist between these parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VS-16TTS08S-M3 be used as a direct replacement for VS-16TTS08STRL-M3?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format: tape & reel versus tube. Direct substitution is valid for applications where the packaging format does not constrain assembly processes.

Q: What is the difference between tape & reel and tube packaging?

A: Tape & reel packaging is optimized for automated surface mount assembly lines with pick-and-place equipment. Tube packaging is used for manual assembly, lower-volume production, or when automated handling is not required. Both formats contain the same component with identical performance.

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

A: No. Both parts have identical voltage ratings (800V), current ratings (16A RMS), gate trigger specifications (2V max, 60mA max), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). Performance is equivalent across all electrical parameters.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both VS-16TTS08STRL-M3 and VS-16TTS08S-M3 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 rating. Compliance certifications are identical.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume production?

A: VS-16TTS08STRL-M3 in tape & reel format is recommended for high-volume automated assembly. VS-16TTS08S-M3 in tube format is suitable when automated handling is not available or for lower-volume applications.

Q: Are the TO-263AB package dimensions identical for both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use the TO-263-3 D2PAK package with identical mechanical dimensions, pin configuration, and thermal characteristics. PCB footprints and thermal management designs are interchangeable.
