Product details
Overview
SK35AH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 3A, 50V Schottky barrier surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AC (SMA) package, featuring 0.72V forward voltage at 3A/25°C, 200μA reverse leakage at 50V/25°C, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability. It serves as a freewheeling or reverse-battery protection diode in DC/DC converters and car lighting systems.
For engineers reviewing the SK35AH datasheet, SK35AH pinout, SK35AH application, or SK35AH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50V VRRM, low VF trade-off vs. IR, thermal resistance (RθJL = 25°C/W), and SMA package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
The SK35AH implements a single-die Schottky junction optimized for high-frequency switching in low-voltage power conversion. Its 50V peak reverse voltage and 70A non-repetitive surge rating support robust operation during load transients in automotive DC/DC stages.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 25°C/W and RθJA = 66°C/W, enabling sustained 3A conduction under typical PCB copper area. The guard ring structure provides over-voltage protection without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum reverse blocking capability for 12V/24V automotive bus protection |
| IF | 3 A - Continuous forward current rating at TL = 90°C, suitable for mid-power converter outputs |
| VF @ 3A, 25°C | 0.72 V - Low conduction loss enabling >92% efficiency in 5V–12V buck stages |
| IR @ 50V, 25°C | 200 μA - Minimal standby leakage for battery-sensitive applications like always-on lighting |
| IFSM | 70 A - Withstands 8.3ms half-sine surges common in motor commutation and load dump events |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Enables operation in under-hood environments with limited airflow |
| RθJL | 25 °C/W - Efficient heat transfer to PCB copper, reducing need for oversized thermal pads |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS35H (ON Semiconductor) | Same 50V VRRM, 3A IF, but VF = 0.75V @ 3A; RθJA = 70°C/W vs. SK35AH's 66°C/W | Slightly higher conduction loss; identical AEC-Q101 qualification and SMA package | Preferred where ON Semi supply chain alignment is required; verify thermal margin with layout |
| SB350 (Vishay) | 50V VRRM, 3A IF, VF = 0.70V @ 3A, but IR = 500μA @ 50V/25°C vs. SK35AH's 200μA | Higher leakage may impact ultra-low-power always-on circuits; same DO-214AC footprint | Consider for cost-sensitive non-battery-critical applications where lower VF outweighs leakage penalty |
Compared with SS35H and SB350, the SK35AH offers the best balance of low leakage (200μA) and moderate VF (0.72V) in AEC-Q101-compliant SMA packaging, making it optimal for automotive power rails where both efficiency and standby integrity matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for SK35AH?
The SK35AH has a VRRM of 50 V, confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating defines the highest reverse voltage the device can block repeatedly without breakdown, making it suitable for 24V automotive systems with transient margins. The SK35AH is part of the SK3xAH series where "x" denotes voltage grade - SK35AH explicitly corresponds to 50V.
Is SK35AH qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SK35AH is AEC-Q101 qualified, as stated in the FEATURES section. This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and humidity exposure, validating its suitability for under-hood and cabin automotive electronics. The SK35AH meets this standard as a discrete Schottky rectifier, not as a packaged IC.
What is the forward voltage drop of SK35AH at rated current?
The SK35AH exhibits a typical forward voltage (VF) of 0.72 V at 3 A and 25°C, per the Electrical Specifications table. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) and reflects conduction loss during normal operation. At higher junction temperatures, VF decreases slightly due to Schottky diode physics.
Does SK35AH have a guard ring structure?
Yes, SK35AH incorporates a guard ring for over-voltage protection, as explicitly listed in the FEATURES section. This structure mitigates edge breakdown effects at the silicon periphery, improving reliability under voltage stress without requiring external protection components in 50V-class designs.
What package type does SK35AH use and is it RoHS compliant?
SK35AH uses the DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package, confirmed in MECHANICAL DATA and ORDERING INFORMATION. It is RoHS compliant and halogen-free, with matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability requirements. The moisture sensitivity level is Level 1, eliminating bake requirements prior to reflow.
