Product details
Overview
SK33B from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 3A, 30V Schottky barrier surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AA (SMB) package, designed for high-efficiency DC/DC conversion with low forward voltage (0.75 V max at 3 A, 25°C), high surge current capability (70 A), and junction temperature up to +150°C. It serves as a primary output rectifier in compact AC/DC adapters and offline SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the SK33B datasheet, SK33B pinout, SK33B application, or SK33B equivalent, key selection criteria include its 30 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 100 µA max reverse leakage at 25°C, 23°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance, and compatibility with automated SMT placement per J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Technical Context
The SK33B employs a single-die Schottky structure optimized for low conduction loss in medium-voltage switching applications. Its guard ring design enhances overvoltage ruggedness, while the matte tin-plated leads ensure reliable solderability per J-STD-002.
With a critical rate of rise of off-state voltage (dV/dt) rated at 10,000 V/µs and thermal resistance RθJA of 63°C/W, the SK33B supports stable operation under transient load conditions and moderate PCB copper area without forced airflow.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS33 (Vishay) | Same 30 V VRRM, 3 A IF, but VF = 0.52 V typ (25°C); RθJA = 70°C/W | Better conduction loss at light loads; higher thermal resistance limits high-ambient use | Prefer SS33 where ultra-low VF dominates over thermal margin |
| SB330 (ON Semiconductor) | 30 V VRRM, 3 A IF, VF = 0.52 V typ; IR = 200 µA max at 25°C (vs. SK33B's 100 µA) | Higher leakage may impact standby power in energy-sensitive designs | Choose SB330 when lower VF justifies slightly higher IR in cost-sensitive consumer adapters |
Compared with SS33 and SB330, the SK33B offers tighter reverse leakage (100 µA) and superior thermal performance (23°C/W RθJL), making it preferred for industrial-grade supplies requiring long-term reliability at elevated temperatures.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SK33B?
The SK33B has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet P2212. This allows uninterrupted operation in enclosed industrial power supplies where case temperatures exceed 85°C. The SK33B maintains specified electrical parameters up to this limit when thermal design respects RθJL = 23°C/W and RθJA = 63°C/W.
Does SK33B have a halogen-free construction?
Yes, the SK33B is halogen-free in accordance with IEC 61249-2-21, as explicitly stated in the "Features" section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet P2212. This compliance supports environmental regulations including JEDEC J-STD-609 and enables use in green-certified end equipment such as ENERGY STAR–qualified adapters and EU Ecodesign-compliant lighting systems.
What is the reverse leakage current of SK33B at 100°C?
At junction temperature of 100°C and rated reverse voltage (30 V), the SK33B exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 5 mA, per the Electrical Specifications table in datasheet P2212. This value is confirmed under 30 ms pulse test conditions and reflects real-world behavior in high-temperature SMPS designs where thermal runaway risk must be evaluated.
Is SK33B suitable for automated SMT placement?
Yes, the SK33B is explicitly designed for automated placement, as noted in the "Features" section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. Its DO-214AA (SMB) package meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1, eliminating bake requirements, and its matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 for solderability-ensuring high first-pass yield in high-volume reflow lines.
What does the marking code 'SK33B' indicate on the device body?
The marking code 'SK33B' laser-etched on the SK33B device body directly identifies the part as the 30 V variant within the SK3xB Schottky rectifier series, per the Ordering Information section of datasheet P2212. The 'B' suffix denotes the SMB package variant, distinguishing it from through-hole equivalents, and the cathode band provides unambiguous polarity orientation during placement.
