Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute selection is strictly determined by matching all key electrical and mechanical parameters: maximum DC reverse voltage, average rectified current, forward voltage at rated current, reverse recovery time, reverse leakage current, recovery speed, mounting type, package/case compatibility, and regulatory status. Only models which conform to these parameters ensure reliable and direct substitution for the VS-80EPF12PBF in Diodes, Rectifiers applications.

Parameter Comparison

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.
