Product details

Overview

SS3P6L-M3/87A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a low forward voltage, high-current-density surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in SMPC (TO-277A) package, rated for 60 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 3.0 A average forward current, and 150 A surge current. It delivers 0.478 V forward voltage at 3.0 A and 25 °C, enabling high-efficiency DC/DC converters and polarity protection circuits.

For engineers reviewing the SS3P6L-M3/87A datasheet, SS3P6L-M3/87A pinout, SS3P6L-M3/87A application, or SS3P6L-M3/87A equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60 V V_RRM, 0.478 V V_F @ 3.0 A, 150 A I_FSM, 20 mJ EAS, and AEC-Q101-qualified variant availability - all critical for automotive and industrial power supply designs requiring low-loss freewheeling and reverse polarity protection.

Technical Context

The SS3P6L-M3/87A is a single-diode Schottky rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching applications where low conduction loss and fast recovery are essential. Its 0.478 V forward voltage at 3.0 A and 25 °C directly reduces power dissipation, while its 200 pF junction capacitance at 4.0 V supports stable operation in DC/DC converter output stages.

Thermally, it features a 3 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance and operates from –55 °C to +150 °C, with MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. The SMPC (TO-277A) package enables automated placement and achieves low profile (1.1 mm typical height).

Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
Vishay SS3P6HM3_A/I	AEC-Q101 qualified; identical electrical specs and SMPC package; HM3 suffix denotes automotive qualification	Required for automotive production programs needing PPAP documentation and long-term reliability validation	Select SS3P6HM3_A/I when automotive qualification is mandatory; SS3P6L-M3/87A is commercial-grade with same die and footprint
ON Semiconductor SB360-E3/54	60 V V_RRM, 3.0 A I_F(AV), but higher V_F = 0.72 V @ 3.0 A; TO-277 package (mechanically similar but not identical footprint)	Acceptable in cost-sensitive industrial supplies where 0.24 V higher forward drop is tolerable	Choose SB360-E3/54 only if board layout allows minor pad adjustment and efficiency loss is acceptable

Compared with SS3P6HM3_A/I, SS3P6L-M3/87A offers identical performance at lower qualification cost; versus SB360-E3/54, it delivers 0.24 V lower forward voltage - translating to ~0.72 W less power loss at 3 A - but requires strict adherence to Vishay's SMPC pad layout for thermal reliability.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the SS3P6L-M3/87A?

The SS3P6L-M3/87A has a maximum operating junction temperature of +150 °C, verified per Vishay Document Number 88987. This rating enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and thermally dense industrial power modules. Derating curves in the SS3P6L-M3/87A datasheet specify usable current limits above 100 °C ambient, and thermal design must account for R_θJA = 65 °C/W and R_θJL = 3 °C/W values.

Is the SS3P6L-M3/87A pin-compatible with the SS3P5L-M3/87A?

Yes, the SS3P6L-M3/87A is mechanically and electrically pin-compatible with the SS3P5L-M3/87A - both use identical SMPC (TO-277A) package, dual-anode/common-cathode pinout, and mounting pad layout. The only difference is V_RRM: 60 V for SS3P6L-M3/87A vs. 50 V for SS3P5L-M3/87A. No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading from SS3P5L-M3/87A to SS3P6L-M3/87A for higher reverse voltage margin.

Does the SS3P6L-M3/87A meet AEC-Q101 qualification?

No, the SS3P6L-M3/87A is commercial-grade and not AEC-Q101 qualified. However, Vishay offers the functionally identical SS3P6HM3_A/I variant with full AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive applications. SS3P6L-M3/87A shares the same die, package, and electrical specifications - only the qualification testing and traceability documentation differ between the two part numbers.

What is the forward voltage of the SS3P6L-M3/87A at 3.0 A and 125 °C?

The SS3P6L-M3/87A exhibits a typical forward voltage of 0.478 V at 3.0 A and 25 °C, and 0.54 V maximum at 3.0 A and 125 °C per Vishay Document Number 88987. This elevated V_F at high temperature reflects Schottky diode physics but remains significantly lower than silicon alternatives, preserving efficiency advantages in thermally demanding applications such as enclosed power supplies.

What does the "87A" suffix indicate in SS3P6L-M3/87A?

The "87A" suffix in SS3P6L-M3/87A specifies the reel packaging configuration: 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, containing 6500 units per reel. It also denotes the revision code "A" for the tape-and-reel format per Vishay's ordering nomenclature. This differs from "86A", which indicates a 7-inch reel with 1500 units - both share identical electrical and mechanical characteristics for the SS3P6L-M3/87A device.
