Product details
Overview
SD103CWS-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Schottky barrier diode rated for 20 V peak 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 reverse capacitance (35 pF), and guard ring construction for transient protection-designed specifically for automotive polarity protection and recirculation in compact DC/DC and power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SD103CWS-7-F datasheet, SD103CWS-7-F pinout, SD103CWS-7-F application, or SD103CWS-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20 V VR, 0.37 V VF at 20 mA, SOD323 package footprint, AEC-Q-compliant reliability, and suitability for low-loss flyback and reverse-polarity protection in space-constrained automotive ECUs and body control modules.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode operates with metal-semiconductor junction architecture to eliminate minority-carrier storage delay, enabling true zero reverse-recovery charge and sub-6 ns switching. Its guard ring structure enhances ESD and surge robustness without compromising low VF performance.
The device is characterized 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 at 125°C ambient per Fig. 4 in DS30101 Rev. 22-2.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR (V) | 20 V - Maximum DC blocking voltage; sets upper limit for reverse-bias operation in polarity protection circuits. |
| IFM (mA) | 350 mA - Continuous forward current rating; defines steady-state load-handling capability in recirculation paths. |
| VF MAX (V) | 0.37 V @ 20 mA - Low conduction loss ensures minimal power dissipation and heat generation in battery-fed systems. |
| IR MAX (µA) | 5.0 µA @ 10 V - Ultra-low leakage preserves battery life in always-on automotive modules. |
| tRR (ns) | 6 ns - Enables high-frequency switching in synchronous rectification and fast-decay motor drivers. |
| CT (pF) | 35 pF @ 0 V - Minimizes capacitive loading in signal-path clamping and RF-adjacent power rails. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD323 - ultra-small surface-mount plastic package (1.30 × 1.70 × 0.90 mm), moisture sensitivity level 1, matte tin-plated terminals, cathode band marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to positive supply or switched node; must handle 350 mA continuous and 1.5 A surge. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse-blocking terminal | Marked by band; tied to ground or return path; blocks up to 20 V reverse bias with <5 µA leakage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Applications
| Automotive Polarity Protection | DC/DC Converter Recirculation |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Reverse-voltage protection on 12 V battery input to infotainment head unit PCB. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone discrete Schottky diode placed in series with VIN to block reverse connection damage. Use Value: 0.37 V VF minimizes voltage drop and thermal rise at 350 mA load; SOD323 footprint saves board area vs. larger packages. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path in buck converter driving automotive LED lighting. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Recirculation diode providing low-loss current path during high-side switch off-time. Use Value: 6 ns tRR prevents shoot-through risk and reduces EMI; 35 pF CT avoids destabilizing control loop compensation. |
| Body Control Module Clamping | Start-Stop System Power Rail Protection |
Use Scenario: Transient suppression on LIN bus power rail exposed to load-dump events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp diode shunting induced surges to ground via guard ring-enhanced junction. Use Value: Guard ring structure withstands repetitive 100 V/10 ms transients per ISO 7637-2; low IR preserves rail stability. | Use Scenario: Reverse-current blocking in 48 V/12 V bidirectional DC/DC converter for mild-hybrid vehicles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional isolation diode preventing backfeed from 12 V subsystem during engine cranking. Use Value: 20 V VR matches 12 V system margin; 5.0 µA IR ensures no measurable drain on standby batteries. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SB120-E3/54 (Vishay) | Higher VF (0.5 V @ 20 mA), same 20 V VR, SOD-123 package (larger footprint). | Less suitable for ultra-low-drop applications; acceptable where board space allows larger package. | Select if higher surge rating (IFS=1.0 A) is prioritized over VF and size. |
| NSR0230HT1G (onsemi) | Lower IFM (200 mA), same VF (0.37 V), identical SOD323 package and VR. | Not recommended for 350 mA continuous loads; limited to low-power sensor or interface rails. | Choose only for space-constrained designs with ≤200 mA load and matching thermal budget. |
Compared with SB120-E3/54 and NSR0230HT1G, SD103CWS-7-F uniquely balances 350 mA current handling, 0.37 V VF, 20 V VR, and SOD323 footprint-making it optimal for automotive power rails where thermal density, voltage margin, and board area are simultaneously constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for SD103CWS-7-F?
The SD103CWS-7-F has an operating junction temperature range of -65°C to +125°C. Its thermal resistance is 625°C/W on a standard 25 mm² copper pad; power derating begins above 25°C ambient, reaching zero dissipation at 125°C per Figure 4 in DS30101 Rev. 22-2.
Is SD103CWS-7-F qualified for automotive use?
Yes-SD103CWS-7-F meets AEC-Q200 stress test requirements for passive components and is explicitly designed for automotive applications including body control modules and start-stop systems. It is not the Q-grade variant (which is SD103CWSQ), but shares identical electrical and mechanical specs per DS30101.
How does the guard ring construction improve reliability?
The guard ring in SD103CWS-7-F surrounds the active junction to suppress edge breakdown during voltage transients, improving ESD robustness (per IEC 61000-4-2) and sustaining repetitive load-dump pulses (ISO 7637-2) without parameter shift or failure.
Can SD103CWS-7-F replace SD103AWS-7-F or SD103BWS-7-F in a design?
No-SD103CWS-7-F has lower VR (20 V) than SD103BWS-7-F (30 V) and SD103AWS-7-F (40 V). Substitution requires verifying that reverse voltage stress never exceeds 20 V; otherwise, premature breakdown or increased IR may occur. Electrical parameters like VF and tRR are consistent across the family.
