Product details
Overview
SB2H90-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a high-voltage Schottky plastic rectifier in DO-15 package, rated for 90 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 2.0 A average forward current (IF(AV)), and 75 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM). It delivers low forward voltage drop (0.65 V at 2.0 A, 125 °C) and ultra-low leakage (10 μA at 25 °C), enabling high-efficiency DC/DC converters and freewheeling diodes in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SB2H90-E3/54 datasheet, SB2H90-E3/54 pinout, SB2H90-E3/54 application, or SB2H90-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 175 °C maximum junction temperature, guardring-enhanced overvoltage protection, high dV/dt rating (10,000 V/μs), and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads qualified to JESD 201 Class 1A whisker test.
Technical Context
This device uses high-barrier Schottky technology to achieve improved high-temperature performance versus conventional Schottkys, with stable VF and IR up to 175 °C junction temperature. Its single-diode configuration and DO-15 axial package support through-hole mounting in space-constrained mid-voltage power stages.
The guardring structure provides inherent overvoltage protection without external components, while the 14 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper pads-critical for sustained 2.0 A operation under ambient temperatures up to 125 °C.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay SB2H100-E3/54 | 100 V VRRM, identical IF(AV), VF, and package; 10 % higher reverse voltage rating | Suitable where system requires ≥90 V DC bus margin (e.g., 75 V nominal telecom supplies) | Select SB2H100-E3/54 only if design mandates 100 V blocking; SB2H90-E3/54 offers tighter VF/IR trade-off at 90 V |
| ON Semiconductor MBR2H90G | Same DO-15 package, 90 V VRRM, but higher VF (0.82 V @ 2 A, 25 °C) and higher IR (25 μA @ 25 °C) | Acceptable where thermal budget allows +0.17 V higher conduction loss and leakage is non-critical | Choose SB2H90-E3/54 for thermally constrained or low-standby-power designs; MBR2H90G may be cost-optimized for less demanding applications |
Compared with SB2H100-E3/54 and MBR2H90G, the SB2H90-E3/54 delivers the lowest forward voltage at elevated temperature and tightest leakage spec-making it optimal for high-efficiency, high-reliability 90 V-class rectification where thermal management is limited.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SB2H90-E3/54?
The SB2H90-E3/54 has a maximum operating junction temperature (TJ) of 175 °C, verified per Vishay Document Number 88718. This rating enables reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial power supplies or under-hood automotive modules. Thermal design must ensure that actual TJ remains within this limit using the specified RθJA = 45 °C/W and RθJL = 14 °C/W values under defined PCB copper pad conditions.
Does SB2H90-E3/54 have a guardring structure, and what does it do?
Yes, the SB2H90-E3/54 incorporates a guardring for overvoltage protection, as confirmed in the "Features" section of Vishay Document Number 88718. This integrated guardring enhances edge termination robustness, preventing premature avalanche breakdown during repetitive voltage transients. It eliminates the need for external snubber networks in applications like motor freewheeling or inverter output rectification where 90 V-rated blocking must survive fast-rising spikes.
What is the forward voltage drop of SB2H90-E3/54 at 2.0 A and 125 °C?
The SB2H90-E3/54 exhibits a maximum instantaneous forward voltage (VF) of 0.65 V at IF = 2.0 A and TJ = 125 °C, per the Electrical Characteristics table in Vishay Document Number 88718. This low, temperature-stable VF directly reduces conduction losses to ≤1.3 W-critical for maintaining efficiency and thermal headroom in compact, sealed power modules where forced cooling is unavailable.
Is SB2H90-E3/54 RoHS-compliant and qualified for automated assembly?
Yes, the SB2H90-E3/54 is RoHS-compliant (E3 suffix) and features matte tin-plated leads qualified to J-STD-002 for solderability and JESD 201 Class 1A for whisker resistance. These qualifications-documented in Vishay Document Number 88718-ensure compatibility with standard reflow and wave-solder processes, including 275 °C solder dip for 10 seconds per JESD 22-B106, supporting high-yield automated manufacturing.
How does SB2H90-E3/54 differ from SB2H100-E3/54 in practical design use?
The SB2H90-E3/54 and SB2H100-E3/54 share identical package, thermal specs, forward characteristics, and leakage behavior-but differ in maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage: 90 V vs. 100 V. In practice, SB2H90-E3/54 is preferred for 72 V nominal bus systems where tighter VF/IR optimization matters, while SB2H100-E3/54 suits designs needing extra margin against 100 V transients. Both are electrically interchangeable only if the 10 V difference falls within system safety margins.
