Engineering Selection Recommendations

The VS-30APF02-M3 is the direct substitute for the obsolete VS-30APF02PBF. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, mechanical packaging, and compliance certifications. The primary distinction is product status: VS-30APF02PBF is obsolete, while VS-30APF02-M3 is active and currently available in inventory.

Selection of VS-30APF02-M3 is appropriate for new designs and replacement applications requiring a 100 V, 3 A Schottky rectifier diode in TO-247AC package format. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment.

The base product number 30APF02 is common to both parts, confirming functional equivalence. Packaging differs only in supplier designation (tube for VS-30APF02-M3 versus unspecified for VS-30APF02PBF), which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VS-30APF02-M3 be used as a direct replacement for VS-30APF02PBF?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with matching voltage ratings (100 V), current ratings (3 A), forward voltage characteristics (790 mV @ 3 A), and package specifications (TO-247-3 through-hole). The substitute part is currently active and available.

Q: What is the difference between VS-30APF02PBF and VS-30APF02-M3?

A: The primary difference is product status. VS-30APF02PBF is obsolete, while VS-30APF02-M3 is active. Packaging is specified as tube for VS-30APF02-M3. All electrical parameters, mechanical specifications, and compliance certifications are identical.

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

A: No. Both parts operate across the same temperature range (-55°C to 175°C junction temperature) and exhibit identical electrical characteristics including reverse leakage current (500 µA @ 100 V), capacitance (115 pF @ 5V, 1MHz), and fast recovery speed (≤ 500ns, > 200mA).

Q: Is the TO-247AC package compatible with TO-247-3 footprints?

A: Yes. TO-247AC is the supplier device package designation for the TO-247-3 case outline. Both designations refer to the same three-lead through-hole package format.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both VS-30APF02PBF and VS-30APF02-M3 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these diodes?

A: Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
