VS-80EPF12PBF Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The VS-80EPF12PBF, manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division, is a general purpose diode designed for high voltage and high current applications. It supports 1200 V reverse voltage and 80A average rectified current, with fast recovery features and through hole TO-247AC packaging. The product status is listed as obsolete, which necessitates identifying alternative models that maintain strict parametric interoperability for electrical and mechanical requirements within the Diodes, Rectifiers category.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

VS-80EPF12PBF is designated obsolete. VS-80APF12-M3 is suitable as a substitute based solely on equivalent electrical and mechanical properties as well as matched environmental compliance requirements (RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, MSL 1 Unlimited). Both models adhere to the same certification and regulatory standards provided.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if VS-80APF12-M3 can be used in place of VS-80EPF12PBF?
Substitutability is determined by matched specifications: voltage, current ratings, recovery speed, reverse recovery time, leakage current, mechanical form factor (TO-247-3 and TO-247AC), and compliance with RoHS3, REACH, and moisture ratings.

Q: Are the mounting and packaging requirements identical for these parts?
Yes. Both VS-80EPF12PBF and VS-80APF12-M3 are specified for through hole mounting and are housed in TO-247-3 package / TO-247AC supplier device package.

Q: Do both models provide the same environmental and regulatory compliance?
Both are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and rated MSL 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Is there any electrical performance difference between these two part numbers?
All core electrical parameters provided are identical.

Q: What is the significance of matching reverse recovery time and leakage current?
Matching these ensures circuit behavior, efficiency, and reliability are maintained when substituting the diode in fast recovery rectification applications.
