| FFF Compatibility | Housed in the identical DO-214AB (SMC) package with a two-pad surface-mount footprint.Matches the physical dimensions of the original Fairchild part identically.Maintains the 1000V DC reverse voltage and 3A average rectified current ratings. | Housed in the standard SMC package, ensuring a drop-in match on existing PCB land patterns.Conforms to the standard DO-214AB physical case dimensions.Fully matches the 1000V and 3A ratings with a standard recovery profile. | ||
S3M by onsemi: Diode 1000 V 3A Surface Mount DO-214AB (SMC). | This is the direct active continuation of the obsolete Fairchild Semiconductor S3M, manufactured on the same production lines after onsemi's acquisition of Fairchild. It features identical electrical and physical parameters, serving as a seamless drop-in replacement.
| An active, high-volume standard rectifier from Diodes Inc. It matches the original 1000V, 3A rating in the DO-214AB (SMC) package, with a matching low forward voltage drop of 1.15V at 3A.

You searched one part. Parter watches your whole BOM.
All your BOM, at once
Parter maps every line to live stock, lead time, lifecycle and compliance data across the entire market — not part by part.
Hear about problems before they hit production
Allocation, EOL and last-time-buy notices surface the moment they appear, not when your buyer's PO bounces.
Qualified replacements in minutes, not days
Every at-risk line gets form-fit-function matches like the ones above — deltas flagged, evidence attached. Review, push to your BOM, and Parter starts watching the new part too.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. The onsemi S3M is marked obsolete, so the manufacturer has discontinued it and any remaining supply is limited to distributor stock. The qualified second sources on this page are active parts you can design in today.
The closest qualified second sources for the onsemi S3M are the S3M (onsemi) and the S3M-13-F (Diodes Incorporated), out of 7 matched alternatives in total. Each is compared against the original on fit, form and function in the table above.
Not always. The alternatives to the S3M are matched on function but can differ in package, pinout or a key parameter, so review the fit/form/function notes in the table and the datasheet before designing one in.
The S3M (onsemi) is a part in the Diodes category. This page lists qualified, cross-referenced replacements for it with a side-by-side comparison.
