Product details
Overview
SK315BH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 3A, 150V Schottky barrier rectifier in DO-214AA (SMB) package, designed for low-loss freewheeling and reverse battery protection in automotive lighting and DC/DC converters. It features AEC-Q101 qualification, 0.95V max forward voltage at 3A/25°C, 70A surge capability, and 150°C maximum junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the SK315BH datasheet, SK315BH pinout, SK315BH application, or SK315BH equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal performance data, mechanical dimensions, and real-world use context for automotive-grade power rectification design and BOM validation.
Technical Context
The SK315BH operates as a single-die Schottky rectifier with guard ring overvoltage protection and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability. Its 150V VRRM, 70A IFSM, and 10,000 V/μs dV/dt rating support robust transient immunity in high-frequency switching environments.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 23°C/W and RθJA = 63°C/W, enabling reliable operation up to 150°C junction temperature under continuous 3A conduction. Moisture sensitivity level is J-STD-020 Level 1 - no bake required prior to reflow.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 150 V - peak reverse blocking voltage suitable for 12–48V automotive systems with margin |
| IF | 3 A - continuous forward current rating at TL = 75°C, usable in compact SMB footprint |
| VF (max) | 0.95 V @ 3A, 25°C - low conduction loss enabling >92% efficiency in 12V buck converters |
| IR (max) | 100 µA @ 150V, 25°C - minimal leakage for battery-sensitive reverse protection circuits |
| IFSM | 70 A - handles 8.3ms half-sine surge, critical for load dump and motor commutation spikes |
| TJ (max) | 150 °C - extended thermal range supports under-hood automotive placement without derating |
| RθJL | 23 °C/W - efficient heat transfer to PCB copper, enabling natural convection cooling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-3EWH01-M3/5BT | Same DO-214AA package, 100V VRRM, 0.72V VF @ 3A - lower voltage rating, lower forward drop | Not suitable for 120V load dump; better for 24V industrial rails with tighter VF budget | Select when system VR < 100V and lowest conduction loss is prioritized over surge margin |
| ON Semiconductor SB3150 | DO-214AA, 150V VRRM, 0.89V VF @ 3A, AEC-Q101 qualified - slightly lower VF, same rating | Identical automotive use cases; minor VF advantage may reduce thermal load in dense layouts | Preferred where marginal thermal headroom exists and 60mV VF reduction improves margin |
Compared with SK315BH, VS-3EWH01-M3/5BT offers lower forward voltage but insufficient reverse voltage margin for automotive load dump, while SB3150 matches VRRM and AEC-Q101 status with marginally better VF - both require review of layout thermal coupling and surge waveform compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SK315BH?
The SK315BH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, validated per AEC-Q101 stress testing. This allows uninterrupted 3A operation in under-hood environments where PCB temperatures reach 75–90°C, provided thermal design meets RθJA = 63°C/W limits. The SK315BH datasheet confirms this rating applies across its full voltage range.
Is SK315BH suitable for reverse battery protection in automotive applications?
Yes, SK315BH is explicitly used for reverse battery protection in automotive ECUs and lighting modules. Its 150V VRRM provides margin against ISO 16750-2 load dump transients (up to 120V), and its 100 µA max reverse leakage at 25°C ensures minimal standby current draw. AEC-Q101 qualification further validates reliability in vibration, thermal cycling, and humidity exposure.
What is the forward voltage of SK315BH at 3A and 100°C junction temperature?
The SK315BH forward voltage increases with temperature: while VF is ≤0.95V at 3A and 25°C, it rises to approximately 0.82V at 3A and 100°C due to Schottky's negative temperature coefficient. This behavior is confirmed in Figure 10 of the SK32BH–SK320BH datasheet, which shows typical VF vs. IF curves across temperature for the SK315BH variant.
Does SK315BH have moisture sensitivity level (MSL) restrictions for PCB assembly?
No, SK315BH is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH and requires no baking prior to reflow soldering. This eliminates handling constraints in high-volume SMT lines and reduces risk of popcorning or delamination during lead-free reflow profiles.
What packaging format is available for SK315BH?
SK315BH is supplied in tape-and-reel packaging: 3,000 pieces per reel, compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment. The DO-214AA (SMB) package uses industry-standard sprocket hole pitch and cover tape specifications, ensuring seamless integration into automated assembly processes without adapter tooling.
