Product details
Overview
SD103AW-HE3-18 from Vishay Semiconductors is a single AEC-Q101 qualified Schottky diode in SOD-123 package, rated for 40 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 350 mA forward current, and 600 mV forward voltage at 200 mA. It serves as a low-loss protection or steering diode in MOS gate drive circuits and low-voltage battery systems.
For engineers reviewing the SD103AW-HE3-18 datasheet, SD103AW-HE3-18 pinout, SD103AW-HE3-18 application, or SD103AW-HE3-18 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10 ns reverse recovery time, 50 pF junction capacitance at 0 V, AEC-Q101 qualification, SOD-123 thermal resistance of 300 K/W, and black cathode band marking for polarity identification.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode uses a metal-on-silicon barrier structure with PN junction guardring for improved ruggedness and leakage control. Its 370 mV typical forward voltage at 20 mA enables efficient biasing in low-level logic interfaces and fast-switching signal paths.
The device operates across -55 °C to +125 °C and features 2 A single-cycle surge capability. Its 5 μA maximum leakage at 30 V reverse bias supports stable performance in precision clamping and hold-up applications where dark current must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating range in clamp or flyback protection. |
| IF | 350 mA continuous - Steady-state forward current limit; determines usable current headroom in power rail steering. |
| VF @ 200 mA | 600 mV - Low conduction loss enabling minimal voltage drop in battery-fed circuits and MOS gate protection paths. |
| trr | 10 ns - Fast reverse recovery supports high-frequency switching (>10 MHz) without significant tail current or ringing. |
| CD @ 0 V | 50 pF - Junction capacitance impacts AC coupling and RF signal integrity; suitable for sub-100 MHz signal path applications. |
| RthJA | 300 K/W - Thermal resistance from junction to ambient; requires PCB copper area planning for sustained 350 mA operation. |
| Tj max | 125 °C - Maximum allowable junction temperature; sets derating envelope for ambient and power dissipation combinations. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD-123 - Surface-mount plastic case, 2.55 mm × 1.40 mm footprint, 10.3 mg weight, black cathode band marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to higher-potential node (e.g., supply rail or driver output); polarity critical for correct conduction direction. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Marked with black band; ties to lower-potential node (e.g., ground or MOS source); reverse voltage applied here during blocking. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive under-hood and infotainment applications requiring reliability over temperature and lifetime stress. |
| Metal-on-silicon Schottky barrier | Enables lower forward voltage than silicon PN diodes, reducing conduction loss in portable and energy-sensitive designs. |
| PN junction guardring | Suppresses edge leakage and improves voltage standoff uniformity, enhancing long-term stability in humid or biased conditions. |
| 10 ns reverse recovery | Minimizes switching losses and EMI in high-speed digital interface protection and DC-DC converter freewheeling paths. |
Applications
| Automotive Infotainment Power Rail Protection | USB Port Overvoltage Clamping |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 5 V and 3.3 V rails in head unit MCU and audio codec sections from load dump transients and backfeed. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Steering diode isolating auxiliary supplies while maintaining low forward drop during normal operation. Use Value: 40 V VRRM withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a; 600 mV VF avoids brownout during hot-swap events. |
Use Scenario: Preventing reverse current flow from downstream USB peripherals into host VBUS during cable insertion/removal. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional blocking diode placed in series with VBUS line prior to USB switch or LDO. Use Value: 10 ns trr ensures no data corruption during hot-plug transitions; 5 μA IR prevents standby current drain. |
| Rechargeable Li-ion Battery System Blocking | Low-Voltage Logic-Level Signal Steering |
Use Scenario: Isolating dual-cell (8.4 V max) Li-ion packs from system loads during charging to prevent parasitic discharge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-blocking diode in series with battery positive path to enforce unidirectional current flow. Use Value: 350 mA IF rating supports typical portable device charge currents; 300 K/W RthJA allows thermal management on 1 oz copper. |
Use Scenario: Routing TTL/CMOS logic signals between multiple microcontrollers sharing a common bus with level-shifting requirements. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Biasing and steering diode in wired-OR configuration or level translator front-end. Use Value: 370 mV VF at 20 mA preserves logic high margin; 50 pF CD limits capacitive loading on 10 MHz clock lines. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SD103BW-HE3-18 | 30 V VRRM, same package and thermal specs; 5 μA IR tested at 20 V instead of 30 V | Lower reverse voltage rating restricts use to ≤30 V systems (e.g., 24 V automotive accessories) | Select when system reverse stress never exceeds 30 V and cost optimization is prioritized over margin. |
| BAT54C-HE3-18 | Dual common-cathode configuration in SOT-23; 30 V VRRM, 240 mV VF @ 10 mA, 10 pF CD | Offers dual-diode integration but lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and has lower surge rating (1.5 A IFSM) | Prefer for space-constrained dual-path designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated and lower capacitance is critical. |
Compared with SD103BW-HE3-18 and BAT54C-HE3-18, the SD103AW-HE3-18 provides the highest reverse voltage margin (40 V) and automotive qualification, making it optimal for primary power rail protection where transient robustness and compliance are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for SD103AW-HE3-18?
The SD103AW-HE3-18 has a maximum junction temperature of 125 °C, as specified in the Vishay datasheet Rev. 1.7. This limit applies under steady-state conditions with proper PCB thermal design. Exceeding this temperature risks parametric shift and long-term reliability degradation. Derating curves in Figure 5 of the SD103AW-HE3-18 datasheet define safe operating voltage vs. ambient temperature combinations.
Is SD103AW-HE3-18 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, SD103AW-HE3-18 is RoHS-compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free per Vishay's material categorization standard (document 99912). The "HE3" suffix explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification and RoHS compliance. No lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE substances exceed threshold limits.
What does the "18" packaging code mean for SD103AW-HE3-18?
The "18" in SD103AW-HE3-18 indicates 10,000 units per 13-inch reel using 8 mm tape width. This packaging format is optimized for high-volume SMT assembly. The alternative "08" code specifies 3,000 units per 7-inch reel-same tape width but smaller reel size for prototyping or low-volume builds.
How does SD103AW-HE3-18 differ from SD103AW-E3-18?
SD103AW-HE3-18 is AEC-Q101 qualified and intended for automotive applications, whereas SD103AW-E3-18 is commercial-grade only. Both share identical electrical specs and SOD-123 packaging, but the HE3 variant undergoes additional stress testing (e.g., temperature cycling, HTRB) and has controlled lot traceability required for automotive BOMs.
Can SD103AW-HE3-18 replace a 1N5817 in an existing design?
SD103AW-HE3-18 can functionally replace 1N5817 in many low-current applications due to comparable VF and IF, but caution is required: 1N5817 is DO-41 packaged (through-hole) with 1 A IF and 20 V VRRM, while SD103AW-HE3-18 is SOD-123 (SMT), 350 mA IF, and 40 V VRRM. PCB layout, thermal design, and voltage margin must be revalidated.
