VS-80APS16PBF Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The VS-80APS16PBF is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division, rated for 1600 V DC reverse voltage and 80 A average rectified current in a TO-247-3 through-hole package. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The substitute part VS-80APS16-M3 maintains identical electrical specifications while offering active product status and improved availability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution of the VS-80APS16PBF with VS-80APS16-M3 is based on strict equivalence across all provided electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share the same base product number (80APS16) and are manufactured by the same supplier. The substitution is valid because the following critical parameters are identical:
- Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 1600 V
- Current - Average Rectified (Io): 80 A
- Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.17 V @ 80 A
- Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 100 µA @ 1600 V
- Speed: Standard Recovery >500ns, > 200mA (Io)
- Operating Temperature - Junction: -40°C ~ 150°C
- Package / Case: TO-247-3
- Mounting Type: Through Hole
- RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
The primary distinction is product status: VS-80APS16PBF is obsolete, while VS-80APS16-M3 is active. Both parts comply with ROHS3 and REACH requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
The VS-80APS16-M3 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete VS-80APS16PBF. Selection of VS-80APS16-M3 is supported by:
- Identical electrical performance across all specified parameters
- Active product status ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
- Equivalent compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected)
- Same manufacturer and base product lineage
- Identical package and mounting specifications
For applications currently using VS-80APS16PBF, transition to VS-80APS16-M3 presents no electrical or mechanical compatibility issues. The difference in packaging format (tube for VS-80APS16-M3 versus unspecified for VS-80APS16PBF) does not affect component performance or board-level integration.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can VS-80APS16-M3 be used as a direct replacement for VS-80APS16PBF?
A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters, including voltage rating, current capacity, forward voltage drop, reverse leakage current, recovery speed, temperature range, and package type (TO-247-3). The primary difference is product status: VS-80APS16PBF is obsolete while VS-80APS16-M3 is active.
Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?
A: Product status indicates availability and manufacturer support. VS-80APS16PBF is obsolete, meaning Vishay no longer manufactures or supports this part number. VS-80APS16-M3 is active, ensuring continued manufacturing, technical support, and supply availability.
Q: Are there any thermal or electrical performance differences between these parts?
A: No. Both parts operate within identical temperature ranges (-40°C to 150°C junction temperature) and deliver the same electrical characteristics: 1600 V reverse voltage, 80 A average rectified current, 1.17 V forward voltage at 80 A, and 100 µA reverse leakage at 1600 V.
Q: Does the packaging difference (tube for VS-80APS16-M3) affect compatibility?
A: No. Packaging format refers to how components are supplied for storage and handling. Both parts use the same TO-247-3 package case and through-hole mounting type, ensuring identical PCB footprint and assembly compatibility.
Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?
A: Yes. Both VS-80APS16PBF and VS-80APS16-M3 are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
