Product details
Overview
SD103CW-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 20 V, 0.2 A 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-optimized for low-loss rectification in compact DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the SD103CW-7-F datasheet, SD103CW-7-F pinout, SD103CW-7-F application, or SD103CW-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse voltage margin, thermal resistance (340 °C/W), junction-to-ambient power dissipation (367 mW), cathode-band polarity identification, and SOD123 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode uses guard ring construction to suppress transient-induced avalanche breakdown and supports operation from –55 °C to +150 °C. Its low 0.37 V typical forward voltage at 20 mA enables reduced conduction loss in low-voltage output stages.
The device exhibits 28 pF junction capacitance at 0 V and 1 MHz, enabling fast switching in SMPS freewheeling paths. Reverse recovery time of 6 ns confirms minimal minority-carrier storage-critical for minimizing switching losses in 1–3 MHz buck converter outputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 20 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; sets upper limit for input/output rail separation in non-isolated DC-DC designs |
| IF | 0.2 A continuous - Rated average forward current under defined PCB thermal conditions; derates to zero at 150 °C ambient |
| VF Max | 0.60 V @ 200 mA - Peak forward drop defining worst-case conduction loss (120 mW) in high-current pulse scenarios |
| IR Max | 5.0 µA @ 10 V - Leakage current limiting standby power loss in battery-backed or always-on circuits |
| tRR | 6 ns - Reverse recovery time confirming suitability for switching frequencies up to ~30 MHz without significant tail current |
| RθJA | 340 °C/W - Thermal resistance indicating 68 °C rise per 200 mW dissipation on standard FR-4; constrains layout copper area |
| CT | 28 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - Junction capacitance affecting high-frequency noise coupling and snubber design in flyback snubbers |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD123 - Surface-mount plastic case (1.55 mm × 2.65 mm × 1.05 mm), cathode band marked, matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leadframe, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in synchronous buck); requires thermal relief pad for soldering reliability |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse-blocking terminal | Marked by band; ties to output rail or ground return; critical for polarity-sensitive protection circuits |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage drop | 0.37 V typical at 20 mA - Reduces conduction loss by >40% vs. comparable silicon diodes in 3.3 V/5 V output rails |
| Guard ring construction | Transient voltage suppression up to 1.5 A surge - Enables robustness against inductive kickback in relay drivers and motor control flyback paths |
| SOD123 footprint | 0.01 g mass, 3.65 mm height - Supports automated placement and reflow in space-constrained IoT sensor modules and wearables |
| RoHS 3 & Halogen-free | <900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb - Meets automotive ELV and consumer WEEE compliance without compromising thermal performance |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SB120-TB-TP (Micro Commercial) | 20 V VRRM, 1.0 A IF, 0.55 V VF @ 1 A, SOD-123 package | Higher current rating suits higher-power 5 V rails but increases junction capacitance (45 pF) | Select when output load exceeds 0.2 A and board layout allows larger thermal pad |
| BAT54C-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | 30 V VRRM, 0.2 A IF, dual-series configuration, same SOD-123 footprint | Dual-diode structure enables complementary clamping or dual-rail protection without extra footprint | Choose for space-constrained dual-rail systems requiring matched VF and tRR across channels |
Compared with SB120-TB-TP and BAT54C-7-F, SD103CW-7-F delivers optimal balance of ultra-low leakage (5 µA), tight thermal resistance control (340 °C/W), and proven manufacturability in high-volume SMT lines-making it preferred for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained 0.2 A applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for SD103CW-7-F?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150 °C, consistent with its specified operating range of –55 °C to +150 °C. Derating begins at +25 °C ambient, with average forward current dropping linearly to zero at +150 °C on standard FR-4 PCB per Figure 4 in DS11013 Rev. 28-2.
Does SD103CW-7-F meet AEC-Q200 stress testing requirements?
No-SD103CW-7-F is not AEC-Q200 qualified. It is rated for industrial-grade operation only. For automotive applications, Diodes offers AEC-Q200-qualified variants such as the AP103CWQ-13, which shares identical electrical specs but undergoes extended temperature cycling and vibration testing.
Can SD103CW-7-F be used in place of SD103AW-7-F in a 36 V input circuit?
No-SD103CW-7-F has a 20 V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM), making it unsuitable for 36 V circuits where transient spikes may exceed rating. SD103AW-7-F (40 V VRRM) is required for reliable operation; substituting SD103CW-7-F risks catastrophic reverse breakdown.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for SOD123 mounting of SD103CW-7-F?
Diodes specifies a pad layout with X = 0.900 mm, Y = 0.950 mm, X1 = 4.050 mm, and 7° chamfered corners (DS11013 Rev. 28-2, page 4). Use thermal reliefs on the cathode pad to prevent tombstoning, and ensure ≥0.25 mm solder mask clearance around both terminals for consistent reflow wetting.
