VS-16TTS08STRR-M3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VS-16TTS08STRR-M3 is an 800V, 16A standard recovery SCR (silicon-controlled rectifier) in TO-263AB (D2PAK) surface mount packaging supplied on tape and reel. This thyristor is designed for applications requiring high voltage switching and power control. The part is currently active in production with 990 units in stock. Equivalent parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary packaging format or inventory availability requires substitution.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The VS-16TTS08S-M3 qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the VS-16TTS08STRR-M3 based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts share the same base product number (16TTS08), manufacturer (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division), and all critical performance parameters including off-state voltage, gate trigger characteristics, on-state voltage and current ratings, hold current, surge current capability, operating temperature range, and package type.

The substitution is valid across the following key parameters:

Voltage - Off State: 800 V
Gate Trigger Voltage (Vgt) (Max): 2 V
Gate Trigger Current (Igt) (Max): 60 mA
On-State Voltage (Vtm) (Max): 1.4 V
On-State Current (It (RMS)) (Max): 16 A
Hold Current (Ih) (Max): 150 mA
Non-Repetitive Surge Current (Itsm): 200 A @ 50Hz
Package Type: TO-263AB (D2PAK)
Mounting Type: Surface Mount

The only difference between these parts is the packaging format: the main part is supplied on tape and reel (TR), while the substitute is supplied in tube packaging.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the VS-16TTS08STRR-M3 and VS-16TTS08S-M3 are active production parts from Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division with identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Selection between these parts should be based on packaging and supply chain requirements. The tape and reel format (VS-16TTS08STRR-M3) is optimized for automated assembly processes, while the tube format (VS-16TTS08S-M3) is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. Both formats are compatible with the same PCB footprint and thermal management requirements due to identical TO-263AB package geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the VS-16TTS08STRR-M3 and VS-16TTS08S-M3 electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical specifications including 800V off-state voltage, 16A RMS on-state current, 2V maximum gate trigger voltage, and 200A non-repetitive surge current capability. They are functionally interchangeable in circuit design.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The only difference is the packaging format. The VS-16TTS08STRR-M3 is supplied on tape and reel, while the VS-16TTS08S-M3 is supplied in tube packaging. Both use the same TO-263AB (D2PAK) component package.

Q: Can I use the tube-packaged part in an automated assembly line?

A: Tube packaging is typically used for manual assembly or lower-volume production. For high-volume automated assembly, tape and reel packaging is the standard format. Conversion between formats may require additional handling equipment.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the VS-16TTS08STRR-M3 and VS-16TTS08S-M3 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these SCRs?

A: Both parts operate from -40°C to 125°C, providing a wide temperature range suitable for industrial and commercial applications.

Q: Are there any differences in moisture sensitivity between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, which indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements.
