Product details
Overview
SK34BHR5G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 40 V, 3 A surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in DO-214AA (SMB) package, featuring low forward voltage (0.75 V max at 3 A, 25°C), high surge capability (70 A IFSM), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability. It serves as a freewheeling or reverse-battery protection diode in compact DC/DC converters and car lighting systems.
For engineers reviewing the SK34BHR5G datasheet, SK34BHR5G pinout, SK34BHR5G application, or SK34BHR5G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40 V VRRM rating, 0.75 V VF max at rated current, 10,000 V/μs dV/dt rating, junction temperature range up to +150°C, and moisture sensitivity level 1 compliance - all critical for high-efficiency, space-constrained automotive and industrial power designs.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses a single-die construction with guard ring overvoltage protection and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability. Its low VF and fast switching enable high-efficiency operation in low-voltage, high-frequency power conversion stages.
The device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, with thermal resistance RθJL = 23°C/W and RθJA = 63°C/W. Reverse leakage is limited to 100 µA at 25°C and 5 mA at 100°C under rated 40 V reverse bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in reverse-biased applications like reverse battery protection. |
| IF | 3 A - Continuous forward current rating; supports stable conduction in 12 V–24 V DC/DC output stages. |
| VF (max) | 0.75 V @ 3 A, 25°C - Low conduction loss enables >92% efficiency in 5–12 V buck converters. |
| IFSM | 70 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current handling; withstands inrush and transient overloads without failure. |
| dV/dt | 10,000 V/μs - High critical rate of rise tolerance prevents false turn-on during fast-switching transients. |
| TJ max | +150°C - Extended junction temperature rating allows use in under-hood automotive environments without derating. |
| MSL | Level 1 (per J-STD-020) - No floor life limitation; suitable for standard SMT reflow without dry-pack requirements. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AA (SMB), surface-mount plastic case with cathode band polarity indicator. Dimensions: 4.60 × 3.95 × 2.00 mm (L × W × H). Weight: ~0.100 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or switch node) in freewheeling path; requires low-inductance layout. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse-blocking terminal | Marked by band; ties to higher-potential rail (e.g., input or output); must sustain full VRRM during off-state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements - enables use in infotainment, lighting, and body control modules. |
| Guard ring structure | Enhances ruggedness against voltage transients and edge breakdown - improves reliability in noisy 12 V vehicle electrical systems. |
| Low VF and high IFSM | Reduces conduction loss while maintaining surge robustness - balances efficiency and fault tolerance in compact power supplies. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS compliant | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and EU RoHS directives - supports environmentally regulated industrial and automotive supply chains. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS34H (ON Semiconductor) | Same 40 V VRRM, 3 A IF, DO-214AA package; VF = 0.55 V typ (25°C), slightly lower than SK34BHR5G's 0.75 V max. | Lower VF improves efficiency marginally but lacks AEC-Q101 qualification. | Preferred where absolute lowest conduction loss is prioritized over automotive qualification. |
| SB340 (Good-Ark) | 40 V VRRM, 3 A IF, DO-214AA; VF = 0.55 V typ, IR = 500 µA max at 25°C - higher leakage than SK34BHR5G's 100 µA max. | Higher IR may increase standby power in always-on systems; not AEC-Q101 rated. | Suitable for cost-sensitive industrial applications where leakage and qualification are secondary. |
Compared with SS34H and SB340, SK34BHR5G trades marginal VF increase for guaranteed AEC-Q101 compliance and tighter IR specification - making it the preferred choice for automotive front-end protection and lighting where reliability and specification consistency are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SK34BHR5G?
The SK34BHR5G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C, validated per AEC-Q101 stress testing. This allows reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and thermally constrained industrial enclosures. The device maintains specified electrical performance up to this limit, with derating applied beyond 25°C ambient per the forward current derating curve in the datasheet. Thermal design must account for RθJL = 23°C/W to ensure safe operation under full load.
Is SK34BHR5G pin-compatible with other SMB-packaged Schottky rectifiers?
Yes, SK34BHR5G uses the standard DO-214AA (SMB) package with anode and cathode terminals in the industry-standard configuration. Its physical footprint and solder pad layout match all JEDEC-compliant SMB rectifiers, including SS34H and SB340. However, electrical characteristics - especially VF, IR, and qualification status - differ, so functional compatibility must be verified per circuit requirements before substitution.
Does SK34BHR5G meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, SK34BHR5G is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version B2212). This qualification covers stress tests including HTGB, HTRB, TST, and mechanical shock, validating suitability for automotive electronic modules. It is not merely "automotive grade" - it carries formal certification required for Tier 1 supplier BOMs in lighting, body control, and infotainment systems.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SK34BHR5G at 100°C?
At TJ = 100°C and rated VR = 40 V, the SK34BHR5G exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 5 mA, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. This value is measured under pulse conditions (PW = 30 ms) and reflects real-world behavior in elevated-temperature automotive environments. It is significantly lower than generic 40 V Schottkys that specify 10–20 mA at same conditions.
What packaging and reel quantity is offered for SK34BHR5G?
SK34BHR5G is supplied in tape-and-reel format per the ordering code SK34BHR5G, with 3,000 units per reel. The "R5G" suffix denotes green (halogen-free) compound and RoHS-compliant packaging. Reels conform to EIA-481 standards and are compatible with standard SMT pick-and-place equipment. Moisture sensitivity level is rated MSL 1, eliminating bake requirements prior to assembly.
