Product details
Overview
SK520CHR7G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 5A, 200V Schottky barrier rectifier in DO-214AB (SMC) package, designed for high-efficiency DC/DC conversion and reverse battery protection in automotive lighting systems. It features 0.95V forward voltage at 5A/25°C, 0.3mA reverse leakage at 200V/25°C, 120A surge capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, and halogen-free construction.
For engineers reviewing the SK520CHR7G datasheet, SK520CHR7G pinout, SK520CHR7G application, or SK520CHR7G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200V VRRM, low VF at high current, thermal resistance (RθJL = 13°C/W), moisture sensitivity level 1 rating, and guard ring–enhanced overvoltage robustness in automotive-grade SMC packaging.
Technical Context
The SK520CHR7G implements a single-die Schottky junction optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching in low-voltage, high-frequency power supplies. Its 200V peak reverse voltage and 120A non-repetitive surge rating support transient-heavy automotive environments.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 13°C/W and RθJA = 53°C/W on a 16mm × 16mm Cu pad PCB. The device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in 24V/48V automotive bus protection |
| IF | 5 A - Continuous forward current rating; supports sustained power delivery in compact DC/DC converters |
| VF @ 5A, 25°C | 0.95 V - Low forward drop reduces conduction loss and improves system efficiency above 90% |
| IR @ 200V, 25°C | 0.3 mA - Ultra-low reverse leakage minimizes standby power loss in always-on vehicle modules |
| IFSM | 120 A - Peak surge current handling enables robustness against load dump transients per ISO 7637-2 |
| TJ max | +150 °C - High junction temperature rating allows operation in under-hood environments without derating |
| RθJL | 13 °C/W - Low junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables direct heat transfer to PCB copper, reducing need for heatsinks |
Pinout & Package

Applications
| Automotive LED Headlamp Driver | 48V Onboard Charger Input Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-brightness LED arrays powered from vehicle battery with PWM dimming and EMI filtering. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode in synchronous buck controller output stage; handles inductor flyback energy. Use Value: 0.95V VF minimizes power loss at 5A continuous current, reducing thermal load on headlamp housing and enabling compact optics design. |

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-50WQ04FN-M3/45 | 45V VRRM, 5A, VF = 0.45V @ 5A - lower voltage rating, lower VF | Not suitable for 200V reverse protection; limited to ≤48V systems | Select only when VRRM margin < 100V is acceptable and ultra-low VF is prioritized over surge robustness |
| ON Semiconductor SB5200-E3/54 | 200V VRRM, 5A, VF = 0.92V @ 5A, IR = 0.5mA @ 200V - slightly higher leakage, same package | Compatible in footprint and voltage rating but lacks AEC-Q101 qualification | Acceptable for industrial 24V/48V systems where automotive qualification is not mandated |
Compared with VS-50WQ04FN-M3/45 and SB5200-E3/54, the SK520CHR7G uniquely combines 200V blocking, AEC-Q101 compliance, and 0.3mA reverse leakage-making it the only option qualified for safety-critical automotive reverse battery protection where both voltage margin and low standby loss are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the SK520CHR7G?
The SK520CHR7G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table. This allows continuous operation in high-ambient environments such as automotive engine compartments. Derating begins above 25°C ambient per the forward current derating curve in the datasheet, and the device must be mounted on a PCB with adequate copper area to maintain TJ ≤ 150°C under full 5A load. The SK520CHR7G's RθJL of 13°C/W supports this thermal design.
Is the SK520CHR7G suitable for reverse battery protection in 24V automotive systems?
Yes, the SK520CHR7G is explicitly rated for reverse battery protection in 24V systems. With a 200V VRRM, it exceeds ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a/b load dump requirements (up to 120V), and its AEC-Q101 qualification confirms reliability under automotive temperature, vibration, and humidity stress. Its 0.3mA reverse leakage at 200V/25°C ensures minimal standby current draw, critical for always-on vehicle modules. The SK520CHR7G is used in production headlamp and body control units for this exact function.
Does the SK520CHR7G have a lead-free and halogen-free construction?
Yes, the SK520CHR7G is both RoHS compliant and halogen-free, as confirmed in the "Features" section of the official datasheet. The molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and terminals are matte tin plated per J-STD-002. These attributes satisfy automotive OEM material declarations (e.g., IMDS) and support compliance with EU ELV Directive and China RoHS. The SK520CHR7G carries the "G" suffix in its ordering code to denote green compound.
What is the surge current rating of the SK520CHR7G and how is it tested?
The SK520CHR7G has a non-repetitive peak forward surge current (IFSM) rating of 120A, measured using an 8.3ms single half-sine wave superimposed on rated DC load. This test condition reflects real-world automotive transients like jump-start surges and alternator load dumps. The device's guard ring structure and thermal design (RθJL = 13°C/W) ensure survivability across ≥1000 cycles under these conditions. The SK520CHR7G's surge capability is validated per AEC-Q101 stress test protocols.
How does the forward voltage of the SK520CHR7G compare to lower-voltage variants in the same family?
The SK520CHR7G exhibits a typical forward voltage (VF) of 0.95V at 5A and 25°C-higher than lower-voltage variants (e.g., SK52CH: 0.55V) due to increased barrier height needed for 200V blocking. This trade-off is inherent to Schottky diode physics: higher VRRM requires higher metal-semiconductor work function difference, raising VF. However, the SK520CHR7G maintains best-in-class VF for its 200V class, outperforming many competitors at the same current and temperature.
