Product details
Overview
SK515CHR7G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 5A, 150V Schottky barrier rectifier in DO-214AB (SMC) package, qualified to AEC-Q101, with 0.95V forward voltage at 5A/25°C, 0.3mA reverse current at 150V/25°C, and 120A surge capability-used in automotive lighting and DC/DC converter freewheeling paths.
For engineers reviewing the SK515CHR7G datasheet, SK515CHR7G pinout, SK515CHR7G application, or SK515CHR7G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150V VRRM, low VF for high-efficiency power conversion, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive environments, and DO-214AB thermal performance (RθJL = 13°C/W).
Technical Context
This single-die Schottky rectifier operates with junction temperatures from –55°C to +150°C and supports repetitive peak reverse voltages up to 150V. Its guard ring structure provides overvoltage protection, and it delivers 5A average forward current with 120A non-repetitive surge rating (8.3ms half-sine).
Thermal design is enabled by RθJA = 53°C/W on 16mm × 16mm Cu pad, and moisture sensitivity is rated J-STD-020 Level 1. The device uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.

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-50SQ150 | Same 150V VRRM, 5A IF, but TO-277 package (smaller footprint, no leads); VF = 0.89V @ 5A | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; not approved for automotive under-hood use | Select when space-constrained layout prioritizes footprint over qualification compliance |
| ON Semiconductor SB5150 | DO-214AB package, AEC-Q101 qualified, but VRRM = 100V and IF = 5A; VF = 0.82V @ 5A | Lower voltage rating limits use to ≤100V systems; unsuitable for 48V+ automotive architectures | Select only if system maximum reverse voltage remains ≤100V and cost optimization is critical |
Compared with VS-50SQ150 and SB5150, SK515CHR7G uniquely combines 150V rating, AEC-Q101 qualification, and DO-214AB leaded package-making it the only option validated for 48V/60V automotive power rails requiring leaded manufacturability and long-term reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SK515CHR7G?
The SK515CHR7G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C, with operational range from –55°C to +150°C. This rating enables use in engine compartment environments where ambient temperatures exceed 105°C. Thermal derating begins above 25°C ambient, and the device maintains full 5A current capability up to 110°C case temperature when mounted on a 16mm × 16mm copper pad per JEDEC standards. SK515CHR7G must be operated within this thermal envelope to ensure long-term reliability.
Is SK515CHR7G suitable for reverse battery protection in automotive ECUs?
Yes, SK515CHR7G is explicitly used for reverse battery protection in automotive electronic control units. Its 150V VRRM provides ample margin against load dump transients, while its 0.3mA reverse leakage at 25°C minimizes standby current draw. The AEC-Q101 qualification confirms performance across temperature cycling, vibration, and humidity stress tests required for ECU deployment. SK515CHR7G's cathode-band polarity marking ensures correct orientation during automated assembly.
Does SK515CHR7G have halogen-free and RoHS-compliant construction?
Yes, SK515CHR7G is both halogen-free and RoHS-compliant, meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU and automotive OEM material restrictions. The molding compound contains no brominated flame retardants, and the matte tin-plated leads satisfy Pb-free soldering requirements. These attributes are verified in TSC's material declarations and support compliance reporting for vehicles sold in Europe, China, and North America. SK515CHR7G documentation includes full substance disclosure per IMDS and SDS standards.
What is the surge current rating of SK515CHR7G and how is it tested?
SK515CHR7G is rated for 120A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) under an 8.3ms single half-sine wave condition, per IEC 61000-4-5. This rating reflects capability to survive load dump events in 12V/24V automotive systems. Testing is performed at TJ = 25°C with specified waveform and thermal preconditioning. The device retains functionality after surge if junction temperature remains below 150°C-verified via transient thermal modeling and lab validation. SK515CHR7G's guard ring enhances surge robustness beyond standard Schottky structures.
How does the forward voltage of SK515CHR7G compare to lower-voltage SK5xCH variants?
SK515CHR7G exhibits a typical forward voltage (VF) of 0.95V at 5A and 25°C-higher than SK52CH (0.55V) or SK55CH (0.75V) due to increased barrier height needed for 150V blocking. This trade-off ensures stable reverse characteristics without compromising surge capability. At elevated temperatures (125°C), VF decreases slightly, improving conduction efficiency during sustained high-load operation. SK515CHR7G's VF remains competitive within the 100–200V Schottky class, balancing voltage rating and conduction loss.
