Product details
Overview
SD103CW-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 20 V, 0.2 A surface-mount Schottky barrier diode in SOD123 package, featuring 0.60 V max forward voltage at 200 mA, 5.0 µA max reverse leakage at 10 V, and 6 ns reverse recovery time-designed for low-loss rectification in compact DC-DC converters and polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SD103CW-13 datasheet, SD103CW-13 pinout, SD103CW-13 application, or SD103CW-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20 V reverse rating, SOD123 thermal resistance (340 °C/W), cathode-band polarity marking, and suitability for high-efficiency 3.3 V/5 V rail rectification where low VF and fast switching are critical.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode uses guard ring construction to enhance transient robustness and suppress edge breakdown under repetitive reverse stress. Its low 0.60 V VF at 200 mA directly reduces conduction loss in continuous forward-biased operation, while the 6 ns tRR enables stable performance in 1–3 MHz switching topologies.
The device operates across –55 °C to +150 °C with 367 mW power dissipation on FR-4 board, and exhibits 28 pF junction capacitance at 0 V bias-enabling predictable EMI behavior in high-frequency flyback and buck converter catch diode roles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 20 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche; sets upper limit for input rail compatibility in 12 V systems. |
| IF | 0.2 A average - Continuous rectified current rating; supports 3.3 V/5 V output stages up to ~1 W load. |
| VF Max | 0.60 V @ 200 mA - Low conduction loss ensures ≥92% efficiency in 5 V-to-3.3 V synchronous rectifier alternatives. |
| IR Max | 5.0 µA @ 10 V - Minimal leakage preserves battery life in always-on backup rails and low-power sleep modes. |
| tRR | 6 ns - Fast recovery minimizes switching node ringing and reduces snubber losses in >1 MHz SMPS designs. |
| CT | 28 pF @ 0 V - Predictable junction capacitance aids EMI filter design and layout parasitic estimation. |
| RθJA | 340 °C/W - Thermal resistance defines derating curve; limits ambient operation to ≤125 °C at full 0.2 A load. |
Pinout & Package

| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse-blocking terminal | Marked by band; ties to output rail or positive supply in clamp/polarity protection configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SB120-E3/54 (Vishay) | 20 V VRRM, 1 A IF, 0.55 V VF @ 1 A, SOD-123 package | Higher current rating but larger forward drop at low IF; optimized for 500 mA+ loads | Select when system requires >0.3 A average current and can accommodate higher thermal mass. |
| BAT54CWS-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | 30 V VRRM, 0.2 A IF, 0.33 V VF @ 10 mA, dual common-cathode SOT-323 | Dual-diode configuration with lower VF at microamp bias; not pin-compatible | Choose for space-constrained dual-rail clamping where 30 V margin and ultra-low standby leakage are prioritized. |
Compared with SB120-E3/54 and BAT54CWS-7-F, SD103CW-13 delivers optimal balance of low-cost SOD123 footprint, 0.2 A capability, and 5.0 µA leakage at 10 V-making it preferred for single-rail 3.3 V/5 V rectification where thermal budget and bill-of-materials simplicity are primary constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for SD103CW-13?
The SD103CW-13 has an operating junction temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C. This rating is validated per JEDEC JESD22-A104 and applies under specified thermal conditions: 367 mW power dissipation on FR-4 board with recommended pad layout. Derating begins above 25 °C ambient at 1.09 mW/°C.
Is SD103CW-13 qualified for automotive use?
SD103CW-13 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. While manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and fully RoHS 3 compliant, it lacks the extended temperature validation, failure analysis reporting, and PPAP documentation required for automotive applications. For AEC-Q101 variants, contact Diodes Incorporated directly.
How does the SOD123 package affect PCB layout?
The SOD123 footprint requires 0.90 mm × 4.05 mm copper pads with 0.95 mm spacing, per Diodes' recommended layout. Its low 0.01 g mass and 1.05 mm height enable high-density placement, but thermal relief must be minimized on cathode pad to maintain 340 °C/W RθJA performance in sustained 0.2 A operation.
Can SD103CW-13 replace SD103AW or SD103BW in existing designs?
SD103CW-13 is not a direct replacement for SD103AW (40 V) or SD103BW (30 V) due to its lower 20 V VRRM. Substitution is only safe if the circuit's peak reverse voltage never exceeds 15 V-verified by worst-case transient analysis. Exceeding 20 V risks avalanche failure and irreversible degradation.
