Product details
Overview
SK115B from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1 A, 150 V Schottky barrier surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AA (SMB) package, featuring 0.95 V forward voltage at 1 A and 100 µA reverse leakage at 25°C, designed for high-efficiency DC/DC conversion in compact power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SK115B datasheet, SK115B pinout, SK115B application, or SK115B equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage rating, thermal resistance (25°C/W), surge current capability (30 A), junction temperature range (–55°C to +150°C), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial and lighting power designs.
Technical Context
The SK115B operates as a single-die Schottky rectifier with guard ring structure for overvoltage protection and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Its 150 V VRRM and 10,000 V/µs dV/dt support fast-switching topologies in offline and isolated converters.
Thermal performance is defined by 25°C/W junction-to-lead resistance and a maximum junction temperature of +150°C, enabling sustained 1 A conduction under elevated ambient conditions when mounted on standard PCB copper areas.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 150 V - supports input rectification up to 100 VRMS in universal AC-DC front-ends |
| IF | 1 A continuous - suitable for low-to-mid power SMPS output stages and auxiliary rails |
| VF @ 1 A, 25°C | 0.95 V - reduces conduction loss vs. silicon diodes, improving efficiency in 12–48 V systems |
| IFSM | 30 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands startup surges and transient load spikes without failure |
| RθJL | 25°C/W - enables direct thermal path to PCB copper, simplifying heatsinking in space-constrained layouts |
| IR @ VR, 25°C | 100 µA - low leakage preserves standby power budget in energy-sensitive adapters |
| TJ max | +150°C - extends operational margin in enclosed or thermally stressed environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS115H (ON Semiconductor) | Same 150 V VRRM, 1 A IF, but VF = 0.87 V @ 1 A; DO-214AA package; no guard ring | Slightly lower conduction loss, but reduced transient robustness in noisy industrial environments | Prefer SS115H where efficiency dominates and EMI filtering is already present |
| SB1150 (Vishay) | 150 V VRRM, 1 A IF, VF = 0.92 V @ 1 A; DO-214AA; TJ max = +125°C | Limited thermal margin in high-ambient applications; higher IR (200 µA @ 25°C) | Select SB1150 only for cost-sensitive, low-power consumer designs with adequate derating |
Compared with SS115H and SB1150, the SK115B offers superior thermal endurance (+150°C), lower leakage (100 µA), and integrated guard ring protection-making it optimal for industrial and lighting applications demanding long-term reliability under thermal and electrical stress.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the SK115B?
The SK115B has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version M2212). This allows operation in high-ambient environments like enclosed LED drivers or industrial control cabinets. The SK115B must be derated above +125°C ambient per its forward current derating curve, and thermal design should account for its 25°C/W junction-to-lead resistance to maintain safe TJ.
Does the SK115B have a guard ring structure, and what benefit does it provide?
Yes, the SK115B incorporates a guard ring for overvoltage protection, explicitly stated in the FEATURES section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This structure improves edge termination robustness, raising the device's critical rate of rise of off-state voltage (dV/dt) to 10,000 V/µs. In practice, this enhances immunity to voltage spikes in flyback and boost converters, reducing risk of premature breakdown without requiring external snubber networks.
What is the forward voltage drop of the SK115B at rated current and temperature?
The SK115B exhibits a typical forward voltage (VF) of 0.95 V at 1 A and 25°C, as confirmed in the ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS table (page 2, Version M2212). At 100°C junction temperature, VF decreases slightly due to Schottky physics, remaining below 0.85 V. This low VF directly reduces conduction losses compared to standard PN diodes, supporting higher efficiency in 12–48 V output power stages.
Is the SK115B RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, the SK115B is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as documented in the FEATURES section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. Its molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and terminals are matte tin plated per J-STD-002. These attributes make the SK115B suitable for export to EU, China, and other regulated markets requiring strict environmental compliance.
What is the reverse leakage current of the SK115B at 150 V and 125°C?
At rated reverse voltage (150 V) and junction temperature of 125°C, the SK115B specifies a maximum reverse current (IR) of 2 mA, per the ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS table (page 2, Version M2212). This value is measured using a 30 ms pulse test. Designers must account for this leakage in ultra-low-power standby circuits, though it remains significantly lower than equivalent silicon rectifiers at the same temperature.
