Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VS-6CWQ06FNTRLPBF is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. All substitute parts maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Technology: Schottky
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 60 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): 3.5 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 610 mV @ 3 A
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500 ns, > 200 mA (Io)
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 2 mA @ 60 V
• Package / Case: TO-252-3, DPAK (2 Leads + Tab), SC-63
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute parts differ in product status (Active vs. Obsolete), packaging format (Tape & Reel), and in some cases, automotive qualification. These differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts—VS-6CWQ06FNTRHM3, VS-6CWQ06FNTRL-M3, and VS-6CWQ06FNTRLHM3—provide complete electrical and mechanical equivalence to the obsolete VS-6CWQ06FNTRLPBF. Selection among these active alternatives is determined by application requirements and supply chain considerations.

VS-6CWQ06FNTRL-M3 is the primary substitute for general-purpose applications. This part maintains Active product status with 2200 pieces in stock, ensuring reliable availability. It is ROHS3 compliant and carries unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

VS-6CWQ06FNTRHM3 and VS-6CWQ06FNTRLHM3 are qualified for automotive applications under AEC-Q101 standard. These parts are suitable for designs requiring automotive-grade components. Both maintain Active product status with adequate inventory levels (924 and 996 pieces respectively).

All substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel packaging format, which is standard for high-volume production environments. The choice between automotive-qualified and non-automotive variants depends solely on end-application requirements and design specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VS-6CWQ06FNTRL-M3 be used as a direct replacement for VS-6CWQ06FNTRLPBF?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications including 60 V reverse voltage rating, 3.5 A average rectified current, 610 mV forward voltage at 3 A, and fast recovery characteristics. Both are packaged in TO-252-3 DPAK and are ROHS3 compliant. The primary difference is product status: VS-6CWQ06FNTRLPBF is Obsolete while VS-6CWQ06FNTRL-M3 is Active.

Q: What is the difference between VS-6CWQ06FNTRL-M3 and the automotive-qualified variants?

A: VS-6CWQ06FNTRHM3 and VS-6CWQ06FNTRLHM3 carry Automotive grade designation and AEC-Q101 qualification. These certifications are required for automotive applications. Electrical and mechanical parameters are identical across all three parts. Non-automotive applications do not require these qualifications.

Q: Are the substitute parts available in the same packaging as the original?

A: The original VS-6CWQ06FNTRLPBF was supplied in bulk packaging. All substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for surface mount component distribution. The actual component package remains TO-252-3 DPAK in all cases, ensuring PCB compatibility.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. All substitute parts—VS-6CWQ06FNTRHM3, VS-6CWQ06FNTRL-M3, and VS-6CWQ06FNTRLHM3—are ROHS3 compliant and carry unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new production designs?

A: For general-purpose applications, VS-6CWQ06FNTRL-M3 is the recommended choice due to highest inventory availability (2200 pieces). For automotive applications, select either VS-6CWQ06FNTRHM3 or VS-6CWQ06FNTRLHM3 based on supply chain preference, as both carry AEC-Q101 qualification.

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

A: No. All parts maintain identical maximum junction temperature of 150°C, reverse leakage current of 2 mA at 60 V, and fast recovery speed characteristics. Performance in circuit operation is equivalent across all variants.
