Product details
Overview
SK54C M6G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 5A, 40V Schottky barrier surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AB (SMC) package, featuring low forward voltage (0.55 V @ 5 A, 25°C), high surge current capability (120 A), and junction temperature rating up to 150°C. It serves as a primary output rectifier in high-efficiency AC/DC adapters and DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the SK54C M6G datasheet, SK54C M6G pinout, SK54C M6G application, or SK54C M6G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 0.55 V forward drop at rated current, 13 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance, moisture sensitivity level 1 compliance, and RoHS/halogen-free qualification for industrial power supply designs.
Technical Context
The SK54C M6G is a single-die, unidirectional Schottky rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching applications. Its guard ring structure provides overvoltage protection, and its matte tin-plated leads ensure reliable solderability per J-STD-002.
Designed for operation from –55°C to +150°C, it delivers stable reverse leakage (≤0.5 mA @ 40 V, 25°C; ≤20 mA @ 40 V, 100°C) and supports fast transient response with 10,000 V/µs critical dV/dt rating - essential for SMPS secondary-side rectification where low conduction loss and minimal reverse recovery are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage; defines safe blocking capability in 36–42 V nominal output rails |
| IF | 5 A - Continuous forward current rating; supports sustained load delivery without derating up to 115°C ambient on standard PCB |
| VF | 0.55 V @ 5 A, 25°C - Low conduction loss enabling >92% efficiency in 5–12 V output converters |
| IFSM | 120 A - Non-repetitive surge rating for handling inrush and fault transients without failure |
| RθJL | 13 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; enables direct heat transfer to copper pad for thermal management |
| TJ max | +150°C - Maximum junction temperature; allows operation in enclosed, high-ambient environments |

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-50WQ04FNTR-1 | Same 40 V VRRM, 5 A IF, but VF = 0.52 V @ 5 A; slightly lower RθJA (45 °C/W vs. 53 °C/W) | Better efficiency at ultra-light loads; tighter VF distribution for binning-sensitive designs | Preferred when sub-50 mV VF reduction justifies higher unit cost and longer lead time |
| ON Semiconductor SB540-E3/54 | 40 V VRRM, 5 A IF, but VF = 0.58 V @ 5 A; MSL Level 1 confirmed, same DO-214AB package | Higher forward drop increases conduction loss by ~0.15 W at full load; identical thermal footprint | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs where 30 mV VF penalty is acceptable and second-source assurance is required |
Compared with VS-50WQ04FNTR-1 and SB540-E3/54, the SK54C M6G offers the optimal balance of low VF (0.55 V), proven MSL Level 1 handling, and broad distributor availability - making it ideal for volume production of mid-efficiency industrial adapters where thermal margin and process simplicity are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the SK54C M6G?
The SK54C M6G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, allowing continuous operation in thermally constrained enclosures and high-ambient industrial environments. This rating is validated per absolute maximum ratings table in the official TSC datasheet revision S2311, and the device maintains specified electrical parameters up to this limit when thermal design adheres to the recommended 16 mm × 16 mm copper pad layout.
Does the SK54C M6G have a defined moisture sensitivity level (MSL)?
Yes, the SK54C M6G is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life and requires no baking prior to surface-mount reflow. This simplifies manufacturing logistics and eliminates moisture-related defects such as popcorn cracking - a key advantage over MSL Level 3+ Schottky rectifiers in high-throughput assembly lines.
What is the forward voltage of the SK54C M6G at 5 A and 100°C junction temperature?
The SK54C M6G exhibits a typical forward voltage of approximately 0.62 V at 5 A and 100°C junction temperature, derived from interpolation of the "Typical Forward Characteristics" curves (Fig.4 and Fig.6) in the TSC datasheet S2311. This value remains significantly lower than silicon PN diodes, supporting stable efficiency across wide thermal operating ranges.
Is the SK54C M6G RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, the SK54C M6G is fully RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. These qualifications are explicitly stated in the "Features" section of the TSC SK52C–SK520C datasheet (S2311), and the device carries the "G" suffix in its marking code (e.g., SK54C M6G) to denote green compound usage.
What is the repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of the SK54C M6G?
The SK54C M6G has a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 40 V, as confirmed in the "Absolute Maximum Ratings" table of the TSC datasheet S2311. This rating defines the maximum allowable reverse-biased voltage the device can block repeatedly without breakdown - making it suitable for 36 V nominal output rails with adequate safety margin.
