In a wide array of power conversion and motor drive applications, including switch-mode power supplies, industrial inverters, and UPS systems, the RENESAS 2SK2364(1)-AZ MOSFET has been a reliable component for designers. However, navigating the post-pandemic global landscape reveals significant challenges with such imported parts: extended and unpredictable lead times, vulnerability to cost fluctuations due to currency exchange and trade policies, and often delayed technical support. These factors directly impact production planning, cost control, and time-to-market for downstream manufacturers. Consequently, sourcing a reliable domestic alternative has evolved from a strategic consideration to an operational imperative for ensuring supply chain resilience and maintaining competitiveness.
Addressing this critical market need, VBsemi leverages its extensive expertise in power semiconductors to introduce the VBM15R08 N-channel MOSFET. This product is meticulously designed as a direct, pin-to-pin replacement for the 2SK2364(1)-AZ. It delivers a compelling combination of matched electrical characteristics, robust performance, and full package compatibility, enabling a seamless transition and offering a more secure, cost-effective, and readily supported solution for your designs.
Precision Parameter Matching with Reinforced Reliability
Engineered as a high-fidelity substitute for the 2SK2364(1)-AZ, the VBM15R08 matches its core voltage and current ratings while introducing enhancements in key areas for greater design margin and stability:
- It features an identical Drain-Source Voltage (VDS) of 500V and Continuous Drain Current (ID) of 8A, ensuring seamless performance integration into existing 2SK2364(1)-AZ circuits without requiring derating or redesign.
- The device supports a Gate-Source Voltage (VGS) of ±30V, providing superior gate protection against ESD and noise-induced transients, which is crucial for reliability in electrically noisy environments.
- With a Gate Threshold Voltage (Vth) of 3.4V, it ensures stable switching behavior and compatibility with a broad range of standard gate driver ICs.
- Although the On-State Resistance (RDS(on)) is characterized at 1100mΩ @ 10V, VBsemi's advanced process control and 100% production testing guarantee consistent performance and high reliability, effectively supporting applications within the target power range.
Proven Planar Technology for Robust Operation
While the 2SK2364(1)-AZ utilizes Super Junction technology, the VBM15R08 employs VBsemi's mature and highly reliable Planar gate process. This technology is optimized for stability and durability. Each device undergoes rigorous screening, including high-voltage testing, to ensure it can withstand voltage spikes and stressful switching conditions common in applications like inverters and power supplies. The VBM15R08 is designed for an operating junction temperature range of up to 150°C and has passed stringent reliability tests, such as prolonged high-temperature and high-humidity aging. This results in a lower failure rate and extended service life, making it an excellent choice for industrial-grade equipment requiring uninterrupted, long-term operation.
Drop-In Replacement with Zero Design Effort
A primary concern in component substitution is the engineering resource required for requalification. The VBM15R08 eliminates this hurdle entirely through its fully compatible TO-220 package. Its pinout, dimensions, and footprint are identical to those of the 2SK2364(1)-AZ. Engineers can directly replace the component on the existing PCB without any modifications to the layout, heatsink, or mechanical design. This "plug-and-play" capability dramatically reduces validation time and cost, allowing for a swift and risk-free transition from the imported part to the domestic alternative, accelerating time-to-market for your products.
Guaranteed Supply and Responsive Local Support
Contrasting with the uncertain supply chains associated with international suppliers, VBsemi provides a stable and responsive domestic source for the VBM15R08. With controlled production within China's robust semiconductor ecosystem, we offer predictable lead times, typically within 2-4 weeks, and flexibility for urgent orders. This shields your production from geopolitical, logistical, and tariff-related disruptions. Furthermore, as a local partner, VBsemi provides immediate and accessible technical support. Our team offers comprehensive documentation, application assistance, and rapid troubleshooting, ensuring a smooth adoption process and ongoing design success.
From industrial motor drives and AC-DC power supplies to UPS backups and lighting ballasts, the VBM15R08 stands as the superior domestic alternative to the RENESAS 2SK2364(1)-AZ. It combines essential electrical compatibility with the significant advantages of supply chain security, cost stability, and local engineering support. Adopting the VBM15R08 is more than a component swap—it is a strategic step towards securing your production line, optimizing costs, and building a more resilient and competitive product portfolio.
