Product details
Overview
SK320BH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 200 V, 3 A Schottky barrier rectifier in DO-214AA (SMB) package, featuring low forward voltage (0.95 V max at 3 A, 25°C), high surge current capability (70 A), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability-used in reverse battery protection and DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the SK320BH datasheet, SK320BH pinout, SK320BH application, or SK320BH equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage (200 V), thermal resistance (RθJA = 63 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +150 °C), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for automotive and industrial power systems.
Technical Context
The SK320BH is a single-die, unidirectional Schottky rectifier optimized for high-frequency, low-loss operation. Its 200 V VRRM rating supports 140 V RMS reverse blocking, while its 70 A IFSM (8.3 ms half-sine) enables robust transient handling in automotive power rails.
Thermally, it delivers RθJL = 23 °C/W (junction-to-lead) and operates up to +150 °C junction temperature. Reverse leakage is specified at ≤2 mA at 125 °C and rated VR, confirming stable performance under elevated thermal stress in engine bay or LED driver environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Supports 140 V RMS input in DC/DC front-end stages without breakdown |
| IF | 3 A continuous - Sustains steady-state load current in compact automotive lighting modules |
| VF (max) | 0.95 V @ 3 A, 25°C - Minimizes conduction loss (<2.85 W) and thermal rise in SMB footprint |
| IFSM | 70 A @ 8.3 ms - Withstands cold-crank surges and load-dump transients in 12 V/24 V systems |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Enables placement near heat sources (e.g., motor drivers, LED heatsinks) without derating |
| RθJA | 63 °C/W - Predictable ambient-referenced thermal design on standard FR-4 with minimal copper |
| IR (max) | 2 mA @ 125°C, 200 V - Low leakage preserves efficiency in high-temp reverse-battery protection |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AA (SMB), surface-mount, cathode-indicated by band, matte tin-plated leads, moisture sensitivity level 1 (J-STD-020).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point during forward conduction | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return path) in freewheeling or reverse polarity protection |
| Cathode | Current exit point during forward conduction; marked by band | Connected to higher-potential rail (e.g., battery+, input VIN); blocks reverse current when biased negatively |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control, lighting, and infotainment power supplies |
| Guard ring structure | Enhances ruggedness against overvoltage transients and improves edge termination reliability |
| Low VF (0.95 V max) | Reduces power dissipation by ~30% vs. comparable 200 V Si diodes, lowering heatsink requirements |
| Halogen-free & RoHS compliant | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and EU directives for environmentally constrained automotive supply chains |
| High dV/dt rating (10,000 V/μs) | Resists false triggering in fast-switching SMPS and prevents commutation failure in inductive loads |
Applications
| Reverse Battery Protection | Automotive LED Lighting |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Prevents damage to vehicle electronics during incorrect battery connection or jump-start events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional blocking device placed in series with main power rail; conducts only during correct polarity. Use Value: Eliminates need for fuses or MOSFET-based protection circuits-reducing BOM count and PCB area while maintaining 200 V standoff. | Use Scenario: Powers high-brightness LED arrays in headlamps, DRLs, and interior lighting with PWM dimming. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode across inductive buck converter output stage to clamp flyback energy. Use Value: Low VF minimizes conduction loss during 100+ kHz switching, improving system efficiency and reducing thermal stress on LED drivers. |
| DC/DC Converter Output Rectification | Industrial 24 V Power Supply Input Stage |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in isolated 5–12 V DC/DC modules for ADAS sensors and telematics units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-frequency synchronous rectifier replacement-operating at >200 kHz with minimal recovery loss. Use Value: Schottky architecture eliminates reverse recovery charge (Qrr ≈ 0), enabling higher frequency operation and smaller filter components. | Use Scenario: Input rectification and hold-up in DIN-rail mounted 24 V industrial PSUs powering PLCs and HMIs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main AC/DC bridge output diode or DC input protection element in redundant power architectures. Use Value: 70 A surge rating ensures survival during inrush into large bulk capacitors; 150 °C TJ rating supports operation in enclosed enclosures. |
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-3EWH02-M3/5A | Same DO-214AA package, 200 V VRRM, but 3.0 A IF and 0.93 V VF (typ); not AEC-Q101 qualified | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial DC/DC but not safety-critical vehicle systems | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and tighter VF tolerance is prioritized |
| ON Semiconductor SB320-E3/54 | DO-214AA, 200 V, 3 A, 0.95 V VF (max), but only rated to +125 °C TJ and no guard ring | Lower thermal margin limits use in under-hood environments; reduced transient ruggedness vs. SK320BH | Acceptable for cabin-mounted modules where ambient <85 °C and surge stress is low |
Compared with VS-3EWH02-M3/5A and SB320-E3/54, the SK320BH uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, +150 °C operation, and integrated guard ring-making it the preferred choice for automotive power rails requiring long-term reliability under thermal and electrical stress.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the SK320BH?
The SK320BH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150 °C, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official datasheet. This allows reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments where ambient temperatures exceed 105 °C. The SK320BH maintains specified electrical performance-including reverse leakage and forward voltage-up to this limit, provided thermal design respects RθJA = 63 °C/W and board-level copper area meets recommended pad layout.
Is the SK320BH pin-compatible with other parts in the SK3xBH series?
Yes-the SK320BH shares identical DO-214AA (SMB) package dimensions, lead finish, polarity marking, and terminal configuration with all SK3xBH variants (e.g., SK34BH, SK310BH). All parts use the same anode/cathode pinout and mounting footprint, enabling drop-in voltage-scaling substitutions within the same PCB layout-provided thermal and electrical margins for the new VRRM and IF are validated.
Does the SK320BH meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the SK320BH is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified per the manufacturer's documentation. This qualification covers stress tests including HTGB, HTRB, TCT, and mechanical shock-validating suitability for automotive power applications such as body control modules, lighting, and infotainment. The SK320BH also complies with J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and JESD201 class 2 whisker resistance.
What is the typical forward voltage of the SK320BH at 3 A and 125 °C?
The SK320BH datasheet specifies VF ≤ 0.95 V at 3 A and 25 °C; at 125 °C, VF decreases due to negative temperature coefficient of Schottky diodes. While no exact typ value is given at 125 °C, curve data (Fig.10) shows VF ≈ 0.82–0.85 V at 3 A and 125 °C for SK315BH–SK320BH variants-enabling more efficient operation at elevated temperatures than silicon PN diodes.
How is polarity indicated on the SK320BH package?
Polarity on the SK320BH is indicated by a distinct cathode band printed on the molded plastic body of the DO-214AA (SMB) package. Per mechanical drawings and marking diagram, this band aligns with the cathode terminal-confirming that the unmarked end is the anode. This marking is visible under standard optical inspection and compatible with automated optical inspection (AOI) systems used in SMT assembly lines.
