Product details
Overview
SK32-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier with 20 V maximum recurrent peak reverse voltage, 3.0 A average forward rectified current, and 0.50 V typical forward voltage at 3.0 A. It features guard ring construction for transient protection and is used in low-voltage DC/DC converter outputs and high-efficiency AC-DC secondary-side rectification.
For engineers reviewing the SK32-7-F datasheet, SK32-7-F pinout, SK32-7-F application, or SK32-7-F equivalent, key selection factors include VF vs. IR trade-off at 25°C/100°C, thermal resistance (RJA = 60°C/W), SMC package footprint compatibility, and legacy design support versus B3X0-series migration path.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier operates with metal-semiconductor junction architecture to minimize forward conduction loss and enable fast switching recovery. Its guard ring structure enhances surge robustness against repetitive line transients in offline power supplies.
Rated for -65°C to +150°C junction temperature, it delivers 100 A non-repetitive peak forward surge current under JEDEC-standard 8.3 ms half-sine conditions and exhibits 300 pF typical junction capacitance at 1 MHz and 4.0 V reverse bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 20 V - Maximum allowable reverse voltage before breakdown; sets upper limit for secondary-side rectification in ≤15 V output supplies. |
| I(AV) | 3.0 A - Average forward current rating on 8.0 mm² copper land pads; defines continuous power delivery capability in thermally constrained layouts. |
| VF @ 3.0 A | 0.50 V - Forward voltage drop determining conduction loss (1.5 W at 3 A); directly impacts efficiency in high-current, low-VOUT rails. |
| IR @ 25°C | 0.5 mA - Reverse leakage at rated VDC; low value minimizes standby power loss in always-on circuits. |
| RJA | 60 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance with standard SMC mounting; used to calculate ΔTJ rise under load for reliability margining. |
| CT | 300 pF - Junction capacitance at 1 MHz / 4 V reverse bias; affects high-frequency switching noise and EMI filter design. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMC (DO-214AB), molded plastic case with matte tin lead-free plating, moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020A, cathode band polarity marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to transformer secondary or switching node; must handle 100 A surge peaks without bond wire fusing. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit point | Connected to output capacitor and load; cathode band identifies terminal orientation for automated placement verification. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring construction | Improves ruggedness against repetitive voltage transients in unregulated AC-DC outputs without external snubbers. |
| Low VF (0.50 V @ 3 A) | Reduces conduction loss by ~30% versus comparable PN-junction rectifiers, enabling higher efficiency in 3.3–12 V output stages. |
| SMC package (6.6 × 7.1 mm) | Provides 2× PCB area reduction vs. SMA while maintaining 3 A current rating, supporting compact multi-rail power modules. |
| UL 94V-0 flammability rating | Meets safety requirements for enclosed industrial and consumer end equipment without additional flame-retardant conformal coating. |
Applications
| AC-DC Adapter Secondary Rectification | USB-C PD Power Delivery Output Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 5–20 V output rectification in wall adapters with flyback topology. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary unidirectional current path converting transformer AC to regulated DC; no timing function. Use Value: 0.50 V VF reduces heat generation in sealed enclosures where airflow is restricted. | Use Scenario: 9/15/20 V output rail rectification in portable device chargers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current Schottky diode handling up to 3 A continuous output; no control or timing role. Use Value: SMC footprint enables dense layout matching USB-C controller ICs and dual-MOSFET synchronous rectifier footprints. |
| DC/DC Converter Output Stage | Industrial Sensor Power Supply |
Use Scenario: 3.3–12 V isolated buck-derived outputs in telecom power modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling path during switch off-time; critical for energy transfer efficiency. Use Value: 300 pF capacitance minimizes high-frequency ringing when paired with ceramic output capacitors. | Use Scenario: 5 V auxiliary supply for analog sensor front-ends in harsh environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input rectifier for linear regulator feeding precision analog circuitry. Use Value: -65°C to +150°C operating range ensures functionality in outdoor or engine-bay mounted sensors. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| B320B-13-F | Same 20 V VRRM, 3 A I(AV), but lower VF (0.45 V @ 3 A) and improved RJA (50 °C/W). | Preferred for new designs targeting <1.4 W conduction loss; requires same SMC footprint. | Select for higher efficiency or tighter thermal margins; not drop-in due to different date code marking and tape/reel packaging. |
| SS32HE3/57T | 20 V VRRM, 3 A I(AV), but higher VF (0.55 V @ 3 A) and wider RJA range (55–65 °C/W). | Used in cost-sensitive consumer power supplies where 0.05 V VF penalty is acceptable. | Select when sourcing flexibility across multiple distributors is prioritized over minimal VF. |
Compared with SK32-7-F, B320B-13-F offers measurable efficiency gain and thermal improvement for new designs, while SS32HE3/57T provides broader distribution access at slight conduction loss cost-neither is pin-identical but all share SMC mechanical compatibility.

Manufacturer
Diodes Incorporated is a global manufacturer of discrete semiconductors and analog ICs, specializing in power management, signal integrity, and protection devices for industrial, computing, and consumer markets.
The SKxx series targets cost-effective, high-reliability Schottky rectification in legacy power supply designs, with emphasis on surge robustness and wide temperature operation rather than ultra-low VF optimization.
FAQ
Is SK32-7-F RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes, SK32-7-F uses matte tin lead-free plating and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. Certificate of Compliance is available upon request and confirms absence of restricted substances including lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE.
What is the maximum junction temperature during continuous operation at 3.0 A?
At 3.0 A average forward current with 8.0 mm² copper land pads and 25°C ambient, junction temperature rises by 180°C (3.0 A² × 60°C/W = 180°C), reaching 205°C - exceeding the 150°C absolute maximum. Derating per Fig. 1 is required; at 100°C ambient, max I(AV) drops to ~1.8 A.
Can SK32-7-F replace SK33-7-F in an existing design?
No - SK32-7-F has 20 V VRRM, while SK33-7-F is rated for 30 V. Substituting SK32-7-F in a 30 V circuit risks reverse breakdown during line surges or transient events. Only interchange within the same SKxx family if VRRM and thermal profile match the original design margin.
Why is SK32-7-F marked "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGN"?
Diodes Incorporated recommends migrating to the B3X0 series (e.g., B320B-13-F) for new designs due to its lower forward voltage (0.45 V), improved thermal resistance (50°C/W), and enhanced surge capability - all in the same SMC package. SK32-7-F remains supported for legacy repair and continuity programs.
