Product details
Overview
SK33BH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 3A, 30V Schottky barrier surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AA (SMB) package, qualified to AEC-Q101, with 0.75V max forward voltage at 3A/25°C, 100µA max reverse current at 30V/25°C, and 70A non-repetitive surge capability-used in automotive lighting and DC/DC converter freewheeling paths.
For engineers reviewing the SK33BH datasheet, SK33BH pinout, SK33BH application, or SK33BH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 30V VRRM, low VF for thermal efficiency, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive reliability, and SMB package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
The SK33BH implements a single-die Schottky junction optimized for low forward voltage drop and fast switching, enabling high-efficiency operation in 20–100 kHz DC/DC converters. Its guard ring structure provides overvoltage protection, and moisture sensitivity level 1 ensures robust reflow compatibility without baking.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 23°C/W and RθJA = 63°C/W, supporting continuous 3A conduction at up to +150°C junction temperature. The device operates across –55°C to +150°C storage range and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 30 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; sets upper limit for DC bus or flyback clamp voltage in automotive 12V systems. |
| IF | 3 A - Continuous forward current rating; supports typical LED driver or buck converter output stage loads without derating below 90°C ambient. |
| VF (max) | 0.75 V @ 3A, 25°C - Low conduction loss enables >92% efficiency in 5–12V output converters at full load. |
| IR (max) | 100 µA @ 30V, 25°C - Minimal leakage preserves battery standby time in reverse-battery protection circuits. |
| IFSM | 70 A - Peak surge current handling for load dump or cold-crank transients in automotive power rails. |
| TJ (max) | +150°C - Extended junction temperature rating allows operation in under-hood environments without forced cooling. |
| dV/dt | 10,000 V/µs - High critical rate of rise tolerance prevents false turn-on during fast-switching MOSFET gate drive transitions. |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount package with cathode indicated by molded band; matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in buck converter or battery negative in reverse protection). |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse-blocking terminal | Marked by band; ties to higher-potential rail (e.g., input supply or LED anode); blocks reverse current above 30V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing-enables use in front-end lighting and body control modules. |

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-3EY30-M3/54 | Same 30V VRRM, 3A IF, but VF = 0.52V typ @ 3A; SMB package; no AEC-Q101 claim. | Lower VF improves efficiency in high-duty-cycle supplies, but lacks automotive qualification for safety-critical lighting. | Select for cost-sensitive industrial supplies where AEC-Q101 is not mandated. |
| ON Semiconductor SB330 | 30V VRRM, 3A IF, VF = 0.52V typ @ 3A; DO-214AA; AEC-Q101 qualified; IR = 200 µA @ 30V/25°C. | Higher leakage may impact ultra-low-power battery backup circuits; otherwise pin-compatible and functionally aligned. | Preferred where tighter VF tolerance and same qualification are needed, accepting slightly higher IR. |
Compared with VS-3EY30-M3/54 and SB330, the SK33BH offers balanced VF (0.75V max), certified AEC-Q101 compliance, and 100 µA IR-making it optimal for automotive lighting where reliability, moderate efficiency, and leakage control are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the SK33BH?
The SK33BH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, validated per AEC-Q101 stress testing. This allows continuous 3A operation in under-hood automotive environments without active cooling, provided PCB copper area and ambient conditions maintain junction temperature below this limit. Thermal design must account for RθJL = 23°C/W and RθJA = 63°C/W values specified in the SK33BH datasheet.
Is the SK33BH pin-compatible with other devices in the SK3xBH family?
Yes, all SK3xBH variants-including SK32BH, SK33BH, SK34BH through SK320BH-share identical DO-214AA (SMB) package dimensions, anode/cathode pinout, and mechanical footprint. Voltage ratings differ (e.g., SK33BH = 30V, SK34BH = 40V), but layout reuse is fully supported across the family for design flexibility and BOM consolidation.
Does the SK33BH require baking before reflow soldering?
No, the SK33BH has moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/60% RH and placed directly into reflow without pre-baking. This simplifies manufacturing flow and eliminates risk of popcorn cracking during lead-free reflow profiles-critical for high-yield automotive PCB assembly.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SK33BH at elevated temperature?
At TJ = 100°C and rated VR = 30V, the SK33BH specifies a maximum reverse current (IR) of 5 mA. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table and reflects real-world behavior in hot under-hood conditions, ensuring reliable blocking performance even at elevated temperatures encountered in automotive applications.
How does the guard ring feature improve reliability in the SK33BH?
The guard ring in the SK33BH provides enhanced edge termination that suppresses electric field crowding at the die periphery, preventing premature avalanche breakdown during voltage transients. This directly improves robustness against load dump pulses and ISO 7637-2 test waveforms-key for automotive-grade Schottky rectifiers used in lighting and power modules where overvoltage events are common.
