Product details
Overview
SA2D-M3/5AT from Vishay General Semiconductor is a surface-mount glass-passivated silicon rectifier diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, rated for 2.0 A average forward current, 200 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage, and 55 A peak forward surge current. It delivers low forward voltage drop (0.854 V at 2.0 A, 125 °C), low leakage (≤3.0 μA at 25 °C), and fast recovery (1.5 μs typical trr), used in AC/DC power supply rectification and freewheeling paths in telecom and consumer inverters.
For engineers reviewing the SA2D-M3/5AT datasheet, SA2D-M3/5AT pinout, SA2D-M3/5AT application, or SA2D-M3/5AT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200 V VRRM rating, SMA package thermal performance (RθJA = 80 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +150 °C), and halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction per JESD 201 Class 2 whisker test.
Technical Context
This device is a single-junction, unidirectional silicon rectifier with glass-passivated chip construction ensuring stable reverse blocking and high reliability under repetitive surge stress. Its low VF and low IR support high-efficiency operation in continuous conduction mode power converters.
The SMA (DO-214AC) package enables automated placement and provides defined thermal resistance (RθJL = 12 °C/W) when mounted on 20 mm × 20 mm copper pads. Polarity is marked by a cathode band; terminals are matte tin-plated and solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - supports input rectification up to 200 V DC or 141 V RMS AC without breakdown |
| IF(AV) | 2.0 A - continuous forward current capability at TA = 75 °C with derating above |
| IFSM | 55 A - withstands 10 ms half-sine surge, critical for inrush and fault protection |
| VF @ 2.0 A, 125 °C | 0.854 V - reduces conduction loss and thermal load in high-temperature operation |
| IR @ VRRM, 25 °C | ≤3.0 μA - ensures minimal standby power loss in off-state applications |
| trr | 1.5 μs typical - enables use in medium-frequency switching (e.g., ≤100 kHz) without excessive switching loss |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - allows operation in thermally constrained enclosures or near heat sources |

Applications
| AC/DC Power Supply Rectification | DC-DC Converter Freewheeling Diode |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Full-wave bridge rectification in offline 100–240 VAC input SMPS for set-top boxes and adapters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary rectifier conducting during positive half-cycles; blocks reverse voltage during negative half-cycles.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SB220-E3/52T (Vishay) | Same SMA package, 2.0 A IF(AV), but 20 V VRRM; lower VF (0.5 V @ 2 A) | Only suitable for low-voltage DC-DC outputs, not AC line rectification | Select only when reverse voltage < 30 V; not a substitute for 200 V blocking requirement |
| ES2D (ON Semiconductor) | SMA package, 2.0 A IF(AV), 200 V VRRM, but VF = 0.95 V @ 2 A (25 °C); trr = 35 ns | Better high-frequency recovery, but higher conduction loss at elevated temperature | Prefer for high-switching-frequency flyback; SA2D-M3/5AT preferred for thermal-limited, medium-frequency rectification |
Compared with SB220-E3/52T and ES2D, the SA2D-M3/5AT offers optimal balance of 200 V blocking, low high-temperature VF, and robust surge handling-making it ideal for general-purpose 200 V rectification where thermal margin and reliability outweigh ultra-fast recovery needs.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SA2D-M3/5AT?
The SA2D-M3/5AT has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +150 °C, verified per Vishay's datasheet revision 05-Feb-2020. This rating allows sustained operation in thermally demanding environments such as enclosed power supplies or near heat-generating components. Derating begins above 75 °C ambient, and the device must be mounted on a 20 mm × 20 mm copper pad to achieve specified RθJA = 80 °C/W. The SA2D-M3/5AT maintains electrical integrity up to this limit under rated IF(AV) conditions.
Does SA2D-M3/5AT meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, the SA2D-M3/5AT carries the "M3" suffix, indicating it is halogen-free and RoHS-compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and Vishay document 99912. It also passes JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020. The matte tin-plated leads are solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. No lead-free exemptions apply-the SA2D-M3/5AT is fully compliant for commercial-grade deployment.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of SA2D-M3/5AT and how is it measured?
The SA2D-M3/5AT has a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 1.5 μs, measured under conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A, per the Vishay datasheet. This value reflects behavior in medium-frequency switching applications (e.g., 20–100 kHz). Unlike ultrafast diodes, the SA2D-M3/5AT prioritizes low VF and high surge capability over sub-100 ns trr. Designers should verify switching loss impact using actual circuit waveforms-not rely solely on this typical value.
Can SA2D-M3/5AT replace SA2D-E3/5AT in an existing design?
Yes, SA2D-M3/5AT is a direct replacement for SA2D-E3/5AT in most applications, differing only in material composition: M3 is halogen-free while E3 is standard RoHS-compliant (with brominated flame retardants). Both share identical electrical specs, thermal ratings, package dimensions, pinout, and MSL Level 1 qualification. No layout or thermal redesign is needed. However, if the end-equipment requires halogen-free certification (e.g., IPC-4101D), SA2D-M3/5AT must be used instead of SA2D-E3/5AT.
What is the forward voltage drop of SA2D-M3/5AT at 2.0 A and 125 °C?
The forward voltage drop (VF) of SA2D-M3/5AT is 0.854 V at IF = 2.0 A and TJ = 125 °C, as specified in the Vishay datasheet. This value is lower than its 25 °C VF (0.954 V), demonstrating favorable temperature coefficient for silicon rectifiers. At full rated current and elevated temperature, this VF directly determines conduction loss (Pcond ≈ 1.71 W), informing heatsink sizing and efficiency calculations in the SA2D-M3/5AT's target applications.
