Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the VT3060C-E3/4W are qualified based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Core Equivalence Criteria:

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Technology: Schottky
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 45 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): 15 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 570 mV @ 15 A
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole

Package Compatibility: Substitutes are grouped into two categories based on package type:

• TO-220-3 Package: Direct pin-compatible replacement with identical footprint
• TO-247-3 Package: Alternative package with different mechanical form factor but equivalent electrical performance

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and RoHS/REACH regulatory status equivalent to the main part.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

VT3045C-M3/4W (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division)

This substitute provides identical electrical specifications and TO-220-3 package compatibility with the VT3060C-E3/4W. The VT3045C-M3/4W carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, indicating suitability for automotive applications. Both devices share the same manufacturer, ensuring consistent design practices and material sourcing. This part is recommended for applications requiring automotive-grade components or when Vishay product continuity is required.

STPS3045CT (STMicroelectronics)

This substitute maintains electrical equivalence with a TO-220-3 package configuration. The STPS3045CT features a maximum junction temperature of 200°C compared to 150°C for the VT3060C-E3/4W, and exhibits lower reverse leakage current (200 µA versus 2 mA at 45 V). ROHS3 compliance is confirmed. This part is suitable for applications where extended thermal operating range or lower leakage characteristics provide design advantages.

STPS3045CW (STMicroelectronics)

This substitute provides electrical equivalence with a TO-247-3 package configuration. The TO-247-3 package offers different mechanical dimensions and mounting characteristics compared to the TO-220-3 package of the main part. The STPS3045CW features identical electrical specifications to the STPS3045CT, including 200°C maximum junction temperature and 200 µA reverse leakage current at 45 V. This part is applicable when TO-247-3 package form factor is required or preferred for thermal management or PCB layout considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VT3045C-M3/4W be used as a direct replacement for VT3060C-E3/4W?

A: Yes. The VT3045C-M3/4W is electrically equivalent and shares the same TO-220-3 package configuration. Both devices are manufactured by Vishay and feature identical voltage, current, and thermal specifications. Pin-to-pin compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the difference between STPS3045CT and STPS3045CW?

A: Both parts are manufactured by STMicroelectronics and share identical electrical specifications. The primary difference is the package type: STPS3045CT uses TO-220-3 while STPS3045CW uses TO-247-3. The TO-247-3 package has different mechanical dimensions and mounting footprint. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: Are there differences in reverse leakage current between the main part and STMicroelectronics substitutes?

A: Yes. The VT3060C-E3/4W and VT3045C-M3/4W specify 2 mA reverse leakage current at 45 V. The STPS3045CT and STPS3045CW specify 200 µA reverse leakage current at 45 V. The STMicroelectronics parts exhibit lower leakage. This difference may be significant in applications sensitive to leakage current characteristics.

Q: What is the maximum junction temperature difference between substitutes?

A: The VT3060C-E3/4W and VT3045C-M3/4W are rated to 150°C maximum junction temperature. The STPS3045CT and STPS3045CW are rated to 200°C maximum junction temperature. Applications operating at elevated temperatures may benefit from the STMicroelectronics parts.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: ROHS3 compliance is confirmed for VT3060C-E3/4W, STPS3045CT, and STPS3045CW. RoHS status for VT3045C-M3/4W is not specified in the provided data.

Q: Can STPS3045CW be used in a TO-220-3 footprint?

A: No. The STPS3045CW uses a TO-247-3 package with different pin spacing and mechanical dimensions. It is not pin-compatible with TO-220-3 footprints. The STPS3045CT should be used for TO-220-3 applications.

Q: What certifications apply to the VT3045C-M3/4W?

A: The VT3045C-M3/4W carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, indicating compliance with automotive industry reliability and quality standards.
