Product details
Overview
SD103CWS-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Schottky barrier diode rated for 20 V reverse voltage, 350 mA forward current, and 0.37 V max forward voltage at 20 mA, with 5.0 µA max reverse leakage at 10 V. It features negligible reverse-recovery time (6 ns), low capacitance (35 pF), and is qualified to AEC-Q standards for automotive use as a polarity protection or recirculating diode.
For engineers reviewing the SD103CWS-7 datasheet, SD103CWS-7 pinout, SD103CWS-7 application, or SD103CWS-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20 V VR, 350 mA IF, ultra-low VF, SOD323 package footprint, and AEC-Q-compliant reliability for space-constrained automotive power rails.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode uses guard ring construction to enhance transient robustness and suppress leakage under reverse bias. Its metal-semiconductor junction enables near-zero reverse recovery charge and fast switching in high-frequency DC/DC feedback paths and flyback snubbing circuits.
The device operates across –65 °C to +125 °C, with thermal resistance of 625 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) on standard 25 mm² copper pad, and derates linearly to zero power dissipation above +125 °C ambient per Fig. 4.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR (DC Blocking) | 20 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before breakdown; sets safe operating margin in 12 V automotive systems. |
| IF (Continuous) | 350 mA - Steady-state forward current rating; supports moderate-power load switching and clamping. |
| VF @ 20 mA | 0.37 V max - Low conduction loss reduces heat generation and improves efficiency in low-voltage bias networks. |
| IR @ VR | 5.0 µA max at 10 V - Tight leakage spec ensures minimal standby current in always-on vehicle modules. |
| tRR | 6 ns - Near-instantaneous turn-off enables clean switching in >1 MHz DC/DC converters without ringing. |
| CT | 35 pF @ 0 V - Low junction capacitance preserves signal integrity in high-speed clamp and ESD protection roles. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD323 - ultra-small plastic surface-mount package (1.30 × 1.70 × 0.90 mm), cathode-banded, matte tin-plated leads, JEDEC-compliant moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to positive supply or switched node; low-resistance path when forward-biased. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to ground or return path; blocks up to 20 V reverse voltage with <5 µA leakage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring construction | Enhances ESD and surge immunity without increasing VF or leakage-critical for automotive transients. |
| Negligible reverse-recovery time | 6 ns tRR eliminates switching losses and voltage spikes in high-frequency buck converter freewheeling paths. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SBAT54LT1G | Same SOD323 package; 30 V VR, 200 mA IF, 0.45 V VF @ 10 mA | Lower current rating limits use in >200 mA recirculation paths | Select when higher reverse voltage margin is needed but peak current stays below 200 mA. |
| NSR0230HT1G | SOD-123 package; 30 V VR, 300 mA IF, 0.35 V VF @ 20 mA | Larger footprint (2.9 × 1.3 mm) and different pad layout | Choose only if board redesign accommodates larger SOD-123 and higher VR is required. |
Compared with SBAT54LT1G and NSR0230HT1G, SD103CWS-7 offers the lowest forward voltage (0.37 V) at 20 mA among SOD323-packaged 20 V Schottkys, with verified AEC-Q compliance-making it optimal for thermally constrained, high-reliability 12 V automotive nodes where both efficiency and qualification matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for SD103CWS-7?
The SD103CWS-7 has an operating junction temperature range of –65 °C to +125 °C. Its thermal resistance is 625 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) on a standard 25 mm² copper pad. Derating begins at +25 °C ambient, reaching zero power dissipation at +125 °C per the published curve (Fig. 4).
Is SD103CWS-7 suitable for use in USB Type-C power delivery circuits?
No-SD103CWS-7 is rated for 20 V DC blocking and is not designed for the dynamic voltage, current, and fault conditions of USB PD (which requires ≥20 V VR, but also specific ESD ratings, bidirectional capability, and protocol-aware protection). It may serve only as basic polarity protection on fixed 5 V or 9 V auxiliary rails, not on full PD lanes.
Does SD103CWS-7 have a specified avalanche energy rating?
No-SD103CWS-7 is not rated for repetitive avalanche operation. Its guard ring construction improves transient robustness, but the datasheet does not specify single-pulse or repetitive avalanche energy (EAS). For inductive switching with unclamped energy, external snubbers or TVS devices are required.
Can SD103CWS-7 replace SD103AWS-7 in a design?
No-SD103AWS-7 is rated for 40 V VR, while SD103CWS-7 is rated for 20 V. Substituting the lower-voltage part risks reverse breakdown in circuits where transient spikes exceed 20 V. The forward characteristics and package are identical, but voltage rating is not interchangeable without circuit revalidation.
