Product details
Overview
SE20PD-M3/85A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a surface-mount, AEC-Q101-qualified, single silicon rectifier diode with 200 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 2.0 A average forward current (IF(AV)), and low 0.85 V forward voltage at 2.0 A and 125 °C - designed for power line polarity and rail-to-rail ESD protection in automotive and industrial PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the SE20PD-M3/85A datasheet, SE20PD-M3/85A pinout, SE20PD-M3/85A application, or SE20PD-M3/85A equivalent, key selection criteria include its SMP (DO-220AA) package, 1.0 mm profile, 8 kV HBM ESD rating, 175 °C max junction temperature, and halogen-free RoHS-compliant commercial-grade construction.
Technical Context
This device is a planar-junction, fast-recovery rectifier optimized for high-efficiency DC power conditioning and transient suppression. Its 1.2 μs typical reverse recovery time (trr) and 13 pF junction capacitance at 4.0 V support stable operation in moderate-frequency switching and clamping circuits up to ~1 MHz.
The SMP (DO-220AA) package enables automated placement and meets MSL level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C peak reflow. Its cathode band polarity marking, matte tin-plated leads, and JESD 201 class 1A whisker resistance ensure robust assembly and long-term reliability in thermally demanding environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - supports input protection in 24 V and 48 V industrial bus systems without breakdown under transient overvoltage |
| IF(AV) | 2.0 A - delivers continuous rectification for mid-power supply rails with derating to 1.6 A at elevated ambient temperatures |
| VF @ 2.0 A, 125 °C | 0.85 V - minimizes conduction loss and thermal rise in compact, thermally constrained layouts |
| trr | 1.2 μs - enables use in flyback snubbers and freewheeling paths where fast turn-off reduces switching noise |
| CJ @ 4.0 V, 1 MHz | 13 pF - limits capacitive loading on signal or bias lines in rail-clamp configurations |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | > 8 kV - provides built-in electrostatic discharge immunity per AEC-Q101-001, reducing need for external TVS devices |
| TJ max | 175 °C - allows operation in under-hood automotive modules and sealed industrial enclosures without thermal shutdown |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMP (DO-220AA), ultra-low-profile surface-mount case with 1.0 mm typical height, 3.61 mm × 2.18 mm footprint, and cathode band marking. Matte tin-plated terminals comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay SE20PB-M3/85A | 100 V VRRM, identical package, pinout, and thermal specs | Suitable only for ≤12 V systems; lower voltage margin increases risk of avalanche in 24 V transients | Select when cost optimization is critical and system max reverse voltage stays below 80 V |
| Vishay SE20PG-M3/85A | 400 V VRRM, same footprint and thermal resistance, but higher VF (0.95 V @ 2.0 A, 125 °C) | Better suited for 48 V or PoE-powered equipment; higher forward loss increases thermal load at high duty cycles | Choose for higher-voltage industrial or telecom applications where transient margin outweighs conduction loss penalty |
Compared with SE20PB-M3/85A and SE20PG-M3/85A, the SE20PD-M3/85A offers optimal balance of voltage headroom (200 V), conduction efficiency (0.85 V), and thermal capability (175 °C) for 24 V automotive and industrial subsystems - avoiding both under-rating and unnecessary forward loss.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SE20PD-M3/85A?
The SE20PD-M3/85A has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of 175 °C, enabling reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and sealed industrial enclosures. This rating is validated per AEC-Q101 stress testing and supported by its RθJM of 20 °C/W when mounted on a 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm, 2 oz. copper pad. Thermal design must account for this limit using actual board layout and ambient conditions.
Does SE20PD-M3/85A support automated SMT assembly without moisture sensitivity concerns?
Yes, SE20PD-M3/85A is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/85 % RH and withstand peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C without baking. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements, ensuring consistent wetting and joint integrity during high-speed pick-and-place processes.
How does the ESD capability of SE20PD-M3/85A compare to standard rectifiers?
SE20PD-M3/85A is tested to >8 kV Human Body Model (HBM) per AEC-Q101-001, significantly exceeding typical rectifiers (<2 kV). This built-in ESD robustness eliminates the need for additional TVS diodes in many rail-protection schemes, reducing BOM count and PCB area - especially valuable in space-constrained automotive and IoT edge nodes.
Is SE20PD-M3/85A pin-compatible with other eSMP® Series diodes like SE20PB or SE20PG?
Yes, SE20PD-M3/85A shares identical SMP (DO-220AA) package dimensions, terminal layout, and polarity marking (cathode band) with SE20PB-M3/85A and SE20PG-M3/85A. This allows direct substitution in existing footprints when voltage rating adjustments are acceptable - though thermal and electrical behavior (e.g., VF, VRRM) must be re-validated per application.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SE20PD-M3/85A at elevated temperature?
At 125 °C and rated reverse voltage, SE20PD-M3/85A exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 100 μA. This value is critical for low-power standby circuits where cumulative leakage across multiple diodes could impact quiescent current budgets - confirmed in Vishay's Document Number 87905, Section "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS".
