Product details
Overview
SK320B from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 3A, 200V Schottky barrier surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AA (SMB) package, optimized for high-efficiency switching power supplies with low forward voltage (0.95 V max at 3 A, 25°C) and high surge capability (70 A IFSM). It operates up to 150°C junction temperature and features guard ring overvoltage protection.
For engineers reviewing the SK320B datasheet, SK320B pinout, SK320B application, or SK320B equivalent, this device is selected for high-frequency SMPS, AC/DC adapters, and DC/DC converters where low conduction loss, fast recovery, and thermal robustness are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
The SK320B implements a single-die Schottky barrier structure with metal–semiconductor junction enabling near-zero reverse recovery time and minimal switching losses. Its 200 V VRRM rating supports universal input AC/DC front-end designs while maintaining low VF across operating temperature range.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 23°C/W and RθJA = 63°C/W, enabling reliable 3 A continuous operation in SMB footprint without forced airflow. The cathode-band polarity marking and matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Key Specifications

| IFSM | 70 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - Withstands inrush surges during cold-start of power supplies |
| TJ max | 150°C - Enables operation in thermally constrained enclosures without derating at 125°C ambient |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay SS3H20 | Same 3 A / 200 V rating; VF = 0.82 V (typ) at 3 A; RθJA = 50°C/W | Slightly lower VF improves light-load efficiency; tighter thermal resistance allows higher ambient operation | Preferred when board-level thermal management is limited and peak efficiency >88% is required |
| ON Semiconductor SB320 | 3 A / 200 V; VF = 0.92 V (max); IFSM = 60 A; TJ max = 125°C | Lower surge rating and junction temperature limit reduce margin in high-inrush or high-ambient environments | Acceptable for cost-sensitive consumer adapters where 125°C TJ and 60 A surge suffice |
Compared with SS3H20 and SB320, the SK320B delivers balanced trade-offs: higher surge tolerance than SB320 and superior overvoltage robustness via guard ring, while offering broader temperature capability (150°C vs. SS3H20's 125°C) for industrial deployment.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SK320B?
The SK320B has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table in the official TSC datasheet P2212. This allows uninterrupted 3 A operation at ambient temperatures up to +85°C with standard PCB copper heatsinking. The SK320B must not exceed 150°C junction temperature during any operational condition, including transient surges.
Does SK320B have a guard ring structure, and what is its function?
Yes, the SK320B incorporates a guard ring structure explicitly stated in its features list. This design mitigates edge breakdown under high dv/dt or transient overvoltage conditions, enhancing reliability in unregulated or noisy line environments. The guard ring is integral to the die layout and contributes directly to the device's 10,000 V/μs critical rate of rise of off-state voltage rating.
What is the forward voltage specification for SK320B at 3 A and 100°C junction temperature?
The SK320B datasheet does not specify VF at 100°C and 3 A; only the 25°C value (0.95 V max) is guaranteed. However, typical VF curves (Fig.10) show SK315B–SK320B family VF remains below 1.05 V at 3 A and 100°C. For design margin, use 1.1 V at 100°C unless thermal simulation confirms lower actual junction temperature.
Is SK320B suitable for synchronous rectification circuits?
No, the SK320B is a passive Schottky rectifier and not designed for synchronous rectification. It lacks gate control, body diode timing specifications, or MOSFET-compatible drive requirements. Synchronous rectification requires actively controlled MOSFETs (e.g., N-channel power FETs with dedicated drivers). The SK320B serves only as a freewheeling or output rectifier in non-synchronous topologies like flyback or forward converters.
What packaging and reel quantity is offered for SK320B?
The SK320B is supplied in DO-214AA (SMB) package on 3,000-piece tape-and-reel format, per TSC ordering information section (Version P2212). Reel diameter, orientation, and leader/trailer lengths conform to EIA-481-D standards. No bulk or ammo-pack options are specified for SK320B in official documentation.
