Product details
Overview
SK510CH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 5A, 100V Schottky barrier rectifier in DO-214AB (SMC) package, AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive use, with 0.85V forward voltage at 5A/25°C, 0.3mA reverse current at rated VR and 120A surge capability - deployed in car lighting and DC/DC converter freewheeling paths.
For engineers reviewing the SK510CH datasheet, SK510CH pinout, SK510CH application, or SK510CH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100V VRRM rating, low VF for thermal efficiency, AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood reliability, and DO-214AB surface-mount compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
The SK510CH uses a single-die Schottky structure optimized for low forward voltage and fast switching in high-frequency DC/DC topologies. Its guard ring design enhances overvoltage robustness, and moisture sensitivity level 1 ensures no baking requirement before reflow.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 13°C/W and RθJA = 53°C/W on a 16mm × 16mm Cu pad PCB. Junction temperature range spans −55°C to +150°C, supporting operation in engine compartment environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage; defines safe blocking capability in 12–48V automotive systems. |
| IF | 5 A - Continuous forward current; supports sustained power delivery in compact DC/DC converters. |
| VF @ 5A, 25°C | 0.85 V - Low conduction loss enabling >92% efficiency in 5–12V buck stages. |
| IR @ 100V, 25°C | 0.3 mA - Minimal leakage for stable bias networks and reverse-battery protection circuits. |
| IFSM | 120 A - Peak surge rating allows survival of load dump transients per ISO 7637-2. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Enables placement near heat sources in automotive ECUs without derating. |
| RθJL | 13 °C/W - Efficient junction-to-lead heat transfer supports high-power density layouts. |
Pinout & Package

| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., switch node in synchronous buck); requires thermal pad connection for RθJL optimization. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to output rail or ground return; polarity marking critical for reverse-battery protection function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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-50WQ10FN-M3/45 | Same 100V VRRM, 5A IF, but TO-220AC package; VF = 0.72V @ 5A (lower loss), RθJA = 40°C/W (better ambient dissipation). | Requires through-hole mounting and larger board area; unsuitable for high-density SMT automotive modules. | Select when thermal budget permits larger footprint and leaded assembly is acceptable. |
| ON Semiconductor SB5100-E3/54 | DO-214AA (SMA) package, same 100V/5A rating, VF = 0.85V @ 5A, but IFSM = 100A (20% lower) and no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Limited to industrial/commercial use; not validated for automotive temperature cycling or humidity exposure. | Select only for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications where qualification is not required. |
Compared with VS-50WQ10FN-M3/45 and SB5100-E3/54, the SK510CH uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, DO-214AB SMT compatibility, and 120A surge rating - making it the only option qualified for under-hood automotive freewheeling where space, reliability, and transient immunity are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SK510CH?
The SK510CH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official datasheet. This rating enables reliable operation in engine bay environments and high-power-density DC/DC converters. Thermal design must ensure that actual junction temperature under worst-case load and ambient conditions remains below this limit. The SK510CH achieves this via RθJL = 13°C/W when mounted on a 16mm × 16mm copper pad.
Is SK510CH suitable for reverse battery protection in 24V automotive systems?
Yes, the SK510CH is suitable for reverse battery protection in 24V automotive systems due to its 100V VRRM, 0.3mA reverse leakage at 25°C, and AEC-Q101 qualification. Its low 0.85V forward voltage minimizes voltage drop and power loss during normal operation, while the guard ring structure improves robustness against line transients. The SK510CH is used in production-level body control modules and lighting ECUs for this exact purpose.
Does SK510CH have halogen-free and RoHS-compliant construction?
Yes, the SK510CH uses halogen-free molding compound and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, as confirmed in the "Features" section of the official datasheet. Lead finish is matte tin, solderable per J-STD-002, and the device meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements - ensuring long-term reliability in lead-free reflow processes and environmentally regulated markets.
What is the surge current rating of SK510CH and how is it tested?
The SK510CH has a non-repetitive peak forward surge current (IFSM) rating of 120A, tested using an 8.3ms single half-sine wave superimposed on rated DC load, per JEDEC standards. This rating is validated across the full operating temperature range and supports survival of automotive load dump events (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a). The SK510CH maintains this rating without derating up to TJ = 125°C.
What package type does SK510CH use and what are its key mechanical features?
The SK510CH uses the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package, with dimensions per JEDEC DO-214 Variation AB. Key mechanical features include matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 flammability-rated molding compound, polarity indicated by cathode band, and moisture sensitivity level 1 (no bake required). Its 0.210g mass and standardized footprint enable compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place equipment and reflow profiles.
