VS-80APF02PBF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VS-80APF02PBF is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division, rated for 200 V DC reverse voltage and 80 A average rectified current in a TO-247AC through-hole package. This part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility to ensure direct replacement without circuit redesign.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VS-80APF02PBF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage Rating: 200 V DC reverse voltage (Vr)
• Current Rating: 80 A average rectified current (Io)
• Forward Voltage Drop: 1.25 V maximum at 80 A
• Recovery Characteristics: Fast recovery with trr of 190 ns
• Reverse Leakage: 100 µA at 200 V
• Package: TO-247-3 through-hole configuration
• Temperature Range: -40°C to 150°C junction operating range
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected

The substitute part VS-80APF02-M3 meets all these criteria with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status: VS-80APF02PBF is obsolete, while VS-80APF02-M3 is active, and packaging format (tube for the substitute versus unspecified for the main part).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

VS-80APF02-M3 is the direct substitute for VS-80APF02PBF. Selection is based on the following factors:

• Electrical Equivalence: All voltage, current, and thermal parameters are identical.
• Product Status: VS-80APF02-M3 is active and currently manufactured, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting regulatory requirements.
• Package Compatibility: Identical TO-247-3 through-hole package ensures mechanical fit without PCB redesign.
• Thermal Performance: Matching junction temperature range (-40°C to 150°C) confirms thermal equivalence.

For applications currently using VS-80APF02PBF, direct substitution with VS-80APF02-M3 requires no circuit modifications or re-qualification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VS-80APF02-M3 be used as a direct replacement for VS-80APF02PBF?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division and share identical electrical specifications (200 V, 80 A, 1.25 V forward drop, 190 ns recovery time) and mechanical packaging (TO-247-3 through-hole). No circuit redesign is required.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: VS-80APF02PBF is classified as obsolete, while VS-80APF02-M3 is active. Additionally, VS-80APF02-M3 is supplied in tube packaging. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent.

Q: Are there any thermal or performance differences?

A: No. Both parts operate across the same junction temperature range (-40°C to 150°C) and exhibit identical reverse recovery time (190 ns) and leakage characteristics (100 µA @ 200 V).

Q: Does the packaging format (tube) affect compatibility?

A: No. Tube packaging is a supply format only and does not affect the component's electrical performance or mechanical fit in the TO-247-3 footprint.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both VS-80APF02PBF and VS-80APF02-M3 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.
