Product details
Overview
SK59CHR7G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 5A, 90V Schottky barrier surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AB (SMC) package, qualified to AEC-Q101, with 0.85V forward voltage at 5A/25°C, 120A surge capability, and 0.3mA reverse leakage at 25°C - used in automotive DC/DC converters and reverse battery protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SK59CHR7G datasheet, SK59CHR7G pinout, SK59CHR7G application, or SK59CHR7G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 90V 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 discrete Schottky diode uses a single-die construction with guard ring overvoltage protection and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability. Its 150°C maximum junction temperature and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance support harsh automotive under-hood operation.
Designed for high-frequency switching, it delivers low conduction loss (VF = 0.85V @ 5A) and fast recovery with dV/dt rating of 10,000 V/µs. Reverse leakage remains ≤0.3mA at 25°C and ≤5mA at 125°C, enabling stable freewheeling in compact DC/DC topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 90 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage; defines safe blocking capability in 12–48V automotive bus applications |
| IF | 5 A - Continuous forward current; supports mid-power converter outputs without forced cooling |
| IFSM | 120 A - Non-repetitive surge rating (8.3ms); withstands load dump transients in vehicle electrical systems |
| VF | 0.85 V @ 5A, 25°C - Low conduction loss enables >92% efficiency in 5–12V buck converters |
| IR | 0.3 mA @ 90V, 25°C - Minimal leakage preserves battery standby life in always-on modules |
| RθJL | 13 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; allows direct PCB copper pad heat sinking without heatsink |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Enables operation in engine compartment ambient up to 105°C with derating margin |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AB (SMC), surface-mount plastic case with cathode band polarity marking, 0.210g weight, UL 94V-0 molding compound, and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in synchronous buck); requires adequate copper area for thermal dissipation |
| Cathode | Current exit point | Marked by band; ties to output rail or ground return; critical for reverse polarity protection orientation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements - eliminates need for additional qualification in Tier-1 designs |
| Guard ring structure | Enhances ruggedness against transient overvoltage events (e.g., ISO 7637-2 pulses) without external TVS |
| Low VF (0.85V) | Reduces power loss by ~35% vs. comparable 100V Si diodes - directly improves thermal budget in sealed enclosures |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | Enables standard SMT reflow without baking - lowers manufacturing cost and avoids moisture-induced popcorning |
| Halogen-free & RoHS | Meets EU ELV and OEM environmental compliance mandates for global vehicle programs |
Applications

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-50SQ030 | 30V VRRM, 5A, VF = 0.42V @ 5A - lower voltage rating, lower VF | Not suitable for 48V+ systems; better for 5–12V logic supplies | Select only if system VR ≤ 30V and ultra-low VF is prioritized over surge robustness |
| ON Semiconductor SB590 | 90V VRRM, 5A, VF = 0.87V @ 5A, AEC-Q101 qualified - nearly identical specs | Same automotive use cases; slightly higher VF increases conduction loss by ~2.5% | Drop-in alternative with identical footprint and qualification; verify marking and reel packaging compatibility |
Compared with SK59CHR7G, VS-50SQ030 offers lower VF but insufficient voltage margin for 48V automotive systems, while SB590 matches VRRM, qualification, and thermal specs - making it the preferred functional alternative where second-source assurance is required.

FAQ
What is the peak repetitive reverse voltage rating for SK59CHR7G?
The SK59CHR7G has a peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 90 V. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version C2311). It defines the maximum DC or sinusoidal AC voltage the device can block continuously without breakdown, making SK59CHR7G suitable for 48V automotive systems with safety margin.
Is SK59CHR7G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SK59CHR7G is AEC-Q101 qualified, as explicitly stated in the FEATURES section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and ESD, confirming suitability for automotive power electronics such as body control modules and lighting drivers where reliability under thermal and mechanical stress is critical.
What is the forward voltage of SK59CHR7G at rated current?
The forward voltage (VF) of SK59CHR7G is 0.85 V at 5 A and 25°C junction temperature, per the Electrical Specifications table. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) and reflects low conduction loss essential for high-efficiency DC/DC conversion. At elevated temperatures, VF decreases slightly, improving thermal stability in real-world operation.
Does SK59CHR7G have moisture sensitivity concerns for SMT assembly?
No, SK59CHR7G has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/85% RH and processed using standard reflow profiles without pre-baking. This eliminates moisture-related defects like popcorning during reflow, reducing manufacturing risk and cost for high-volume automotive PCB assembly.
What package type does SK59CHR7G use, and what are its key mechanical features?
SK59CHR7G uses the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package. Key features include matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, UL 94V-0 flammability-rated molding compound, cathode band polarity marking, and a weight of approximately 0.210 g. The package outline conforms to JEDEC DO-214AB standards, ensuring compatibility with standard SMT pick-and-place and reflow equipment.
