Product details
Overview
SK515C R7G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 5A, 150V Schottky barrier surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AB (SMC) package, optimized for high-efficiency switching power supplies with low forward voltage (0.95 V at 5 A, 25°C) and high surge capability (120 A IFSM). It features guard ring overvoltage protection, moisture sensitivity level 1, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance.
For engineers reviewing the SK515C R7G datasheet, SK515C R7G pinout, SK515C R7G application, or SK515C R7G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 0.95 V forward drop at rated current, 0.3 mA reverse leakage at 25°C, junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 13°C/W, and suitability for compact, thermally constrained SMPS designs.
Technical Context
The SK515C R7G implements a single-die Schottky structure with platinum-silicide or similar low-barrier metallization to achieve fast recovery (no stored charge), zero reverse recovery time, and minimal switching loss. Its 150 V VRRM rating targets mid-voltage DC-DC converters and offline auxiliary supplies where higher blocking than 100 V devices is required without silicon diode speed penalties.
Thermally, it relies on PCB copper pad conduction (16 mm × 16 mm per JEDEC test board) for heat dissipation, with RθJA = 53°C/W and RθJL = 13°C/W enabling 5 A continuous operation at ≤85°C ambient when properly mounted. The cathode band polarity marking and matte tin-plated leads ensure reliable automated assembly per J-STD-002.

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-50WQ15 | Same 150 V VRRM, 5 A IF, but VF = 0.82 V @ 5 A; TO-220AC package | Requires through-hole mounting and heatsink; unsuitable for space-constrained SMT designs | Select if thermal budget allows heatsink use and board real estate permits larger footprint |
| ON Semiconductor SB5150 | 150 V VRRM, 5 A IF, VF = 0.92 V @ 5 A; DO-214AB package, same MSL-1 rating | Identical mechanical fit and reflow profile; slightly lower VF reduces conduction loss by ~3% | Drop-in replacement for SK515C R7G where marginal efficiency gain justifies dual-source qualification |
Compared with VS-50WQ15 and SB5150, the SK515C R7G offers optimal balance of SMT compatibility, thermal performance via RθJL = 13°C/W, and proven robustness in high-volume adapter production-making it preferred for compact, lead-free reflow-managed designs where DO-214AB is mandated.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SK515C R7G?
The SK515C R7G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of 150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet revision S2311. This rating defines the upper thermal limit for reliable operation and must be respected in thermal design using the published RθJA = 53°C/W and RθJL = 13°C/W values. Derating curves in Figure 1 confirm 5 A continuous current is sustainable up to 85°C ambient with proper PCB copper area.
Does SK515C R7G support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, SK515C R7G supports lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-002. Its matte tin-plated leads are qualified for peak temperatures up to 260°C, and its moisture sensitivity level is rated MSL-1, meaning no baking is required prior to assembly. The device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 requirements and is compatible with standard Pb-free reflow profiles used in high-volume manufacturing.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SK515C R7G at elevated temperature?
At TJ = 125°C and VR = 150 V, the SK515C R7G exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 5 mA, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. This value is critical for standby power calculation in offline converters and confirms stable blocking behavior under worst-case thermal stress, unlike lower-voltage SK5xC variants which specify IR only at 25°C or 100°C.
Is SK515C R7G pin-compatible with other SK5xC series devices?
Yes, all SK5xC devices-including SK515C R7G-share identical DO-214AB (SMC) package dimensions, pinout (anode/cathode), and polarity marking (cathode band). This allows direct substitution within the family when voltage rating and VF requirements align, provided thermal and surge margins are re-verified for the specific application operating conditions.
What does the 'R7G' suffix indicate in SK515C R7G?
The 'R7G' suffix in SK515C R7G denotes Taiwan Semiconductor's tape-and-reel packaging option: R7 indicates 7-inch reel, and G signifies green (halogen-free) molding compound per JEDEC standards. This matches the ordering code SK515C in the DO-214AB package with 3,000 units per reel, as confirmed in the Ordering Information section of the S2311 datasheet.
