Product details
Overview
DFLS230Q from Diodes Incorporated is a 2.0A, 30V surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in PowerDI123 package, featuring 0.49V max forward voltage at 2.0A and 1.0mA max reverse leakage at 30V. It delivers ultra-low power loss for automotive polarity protection and recirculating diode applications, with AEC-Q101 qualification and IATF16949 manufacturing.
For engineers reviewing the DFLS230Q datasheet, DFLS230Q pinout, DFLS230Q application, or DFLS230Q equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40A non-repetitive surge rating, 17ns reverse recovery time, thermal resistance of 55°C/W (on 1-inch² 2oz copper), ESD HBM rating of 4000V, and compliance with automotive change control requirements.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses guard ring die construction to suppress transient-induced failure and patented interlocking clip design to sustain 40A single-half-sine surge current without bond wire lift-off. Its low VF (0.36–0.49V) and 75pF capacitance at 10V enable high-efficiency DC/DC output rectification and fast-switching flyback snubbing.
Rated for -55°C to +125°C operation, it achieves 55°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on a 1-inch² 2oz copper pad-critical for under-hood automotive modules where ambient temperatures exceed 105°C and power density constraints limit heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR (V) | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage; ensures safe operation in 24V automotive systems with load dump transients up to ±35V. |
| IF(AV) (A) | 2.0 A - Continuous DC forward current; supports sustained 24V/2A power rail protection without derating below 105°C ambient. |
| VF MAX (V) | 0.49 V @ 2.0A - Low conduction loss reduces power dissipation to ≤0.98W, minimizing thermal stress in compact PCB layouts. |
| IR MAX (mA) | 1.0 mA @ 30V - Low leakage preserves battery standby life in always-on vehicle modules such as body control units. |
| tRR (ns) | 17 ns - Fast switching enables use in high-frequency (>100kHz) synchronous rectifier circuits and PWM-driven inductive loads. |
| RθJA (°C/W) | 55 °C/W - Measured on 1-inch² 2oz copper pad; allows direct thermal coupling to ground plane without external heatsink in space-constrained ECUs. |
| ESD HBM | 4000 V - Robust electrostatic immunity meets ISO 10605 requirements for assembly-line handling and in-vehicle EMI environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerDI123 - ultra-small surface-mount plastic package (1.78mm × 3.70mm × 0.98mm), UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1, matte tin annealed terminals solderable per MIL-STD-202.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current input | Connected to power source side (e.g., battery+); internal copper leadframe provides low-inductance path for surge current. |
| Cathode | Forward current output / reverse blocking terminal | Marked by cathode band; large-area tab enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper; serves as primary thermal interface. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Patented interlocking clip design | Enables 40A IFSM surge capability without bond wire failure-critical for motor driver recirculation paths. |
| Guard ring die construction | Suppresses edge breakdown during voltage transients, extending lifetime in 12V/24V automotive power nets with ISO 7637-2 pulses. |
| Low VF (0.36V typ @ 1A) | Reduces conduction loss by >30% vs. standard silicon rectifiers, enabling smaller thermal pads and higher power density in ADAS camera modules. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive use including temperature cycling (-55°C to +125°C), mechanical shock, and board-level reliability testing. |
| Halogen & antimony free | Meets automotive "Green" standards (<900ppm Br+Cl, <1000ppm Sb), supporting OEM sustainability compliance and end-of-life recycling. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Polarity reversal protection on 12V main supply input to BCM microcontroller and CAN transceivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current gate preventing damage from incorrect battery connection during service. Use Value: 0.49V VF limits voltage drop to <2% at 2A, preserving brown-out margin for 3.3V LDOs while surviving 40A jump-start surges. |
Use Scenario: Recirculating diode across fuel injector solenoid coil in 24V diesel ECU. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling path for inductive kickback energy during PWM turn-off. Use Value: 17ns tRR minimizes voltage overshoot and EMI; 75pF CT reduces radiated emissions in engine bay near sensitive sensors. |

Use Value: Guard ring die withstands repetitive 30V transients; 55°C/W RθJA maintains <115°C junction temp at 2A continuous. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SB230-E3/54 (Vishay) | Same 30V/2A rating but TO-220AC package; VF = 0.52V @ 2A; RθJA = 50°C/W (with heatsink only). | Requires external heatsink and through-hole mounting; unsuitable for high-density SMT automotive PCBs. | Select only when legacy TO-220 footprint compatibility or higher surge margin (60A IFSM) is required. |
| SS23 (ON Semiconductor) | SOD-123 package; 30V/2A; VF = 0.5V @ 2A; RθJA = 180°C/W; no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Limited to consumer/industrial use; insufficient thermal performance and reliability for under-hood deployment. | Acceptable only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where ambient stays below 60°C and surge events are absent. |
Compared with SB230-E3/54 and SS23, DFLS230Q uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, PowerDI123 SMT form factor, 55°C/W thermal resistance, and 40A surge rating-making it the only option qualified for space-constrained, thermally demanding automotive power rails.

FAQ
Is DFLS230Q suitable for 48V mild-hybrid automotive systems?
No. Its 30V VR rating makes it appropriate for 12V and 24V nominal systems only. For 48V architectures, Diodes offers the DFLS345Q (45V) and DFLS360Q (60V) in the same PowerDI123 package with matching AEC-Q101 qualification and thermal performance.
What is the maximum recommended PCB copper area for optimal thermal performance?
For best thermal performance, Diodes specifies a 1-inch² (25.4mm × 25.4mm) 2oz copper pad under the cathode tab, achieving RθJA = 55°C/W. Smaller pads increase thermal resistance linearly-e.g., a 0.5-inch² pad raises RθJA to ~110°C/W per datasheet Note 8.
Does DFLS230Q require derating when used in capacitive-load applications?
Yes. Per datasheet maximum ratings, average forward current must be derated by 20% for capacitive loads due to higher peak currents during charging cycles. At 25°C ambient, IF(AV) is limited to 1.6A-not 2.0A-when driving bulk capacitance directly after rectification.
Can DFLS230Q replace standard silicon rectifiers like 1N5819 in existing designs?
Yes, with electrical and layout verification. Its lower VF improves efficiency, but its 75pF capacitance is ~2× higher than 1N5819's 35pF-potentially increasing EMI in high-frequency switching circuits. Layout must maintain short traces and avoid routing near sensitive analog nodes.
