Product details
Overview
SL02X from Nexperia is a surface-mount Schottky barrier diode in SOD123FL package, rated for 20 V reverse voltage and 2 A average forward current, with low 0.45 V typical forward voltage at 1 A, optimized for DC-DC converter output rectification and USB power path protection.
For engineers reviewing the SL02X datasheet, SL02X pinout, SL02X application, or SL02X equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2 A continuous current capability, 0.45 V VF @ 1 A, 20 V VR, thermal resistance of 125 K/W (junction-to-ambient), and compatibility with standard reflow profiles per JEDEC J-STD-020.
Technical Context
The SL02X employs a planar Schottky junction structure on silicon, enabling fast switching with negligible reverse recovery charge (Qrr ≈ 0 nC), making it suitable for high-frequency synchronous rectification up to 1 MHz. Its low forward voltage drop directly reduces conduction losses in 3.3 V and 5 V power rails.
Thermally, the SOD123FL package provides a defined thermal path via two copper terminals and exposed metal under the cathode stripe; the device is characterized at TJ = 150 °C maximum, with derating applied above TA = 75 °C per the published thermal curve.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR - Repetitive Peak Reverse Voltage | 20 V - Maximum allowable DC or peak AC reverse bias before breakdown; sets upper limit for input/output rail separation in buck converters. |
| IF(AV) - Average Forward Current | 2 A - Continuous DC current rating at TC = 75 °C; defines usable current capacity in PCB-constrained thermal environments. |
| VF - Forward Voltage | 0.45 V @ IF = 1 A - Measured voltage drop across anode-cathode at 1 A; determines conduction loss (Pcond ≈ 0.45 W per diode at 1 A). |
| IR - Reverse Leakage Current | 100 µA @ VR = 20 V, TJ = 125 °C - Small leakage ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on circuits like battery backup paths. |
| RθJA - Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance | 125 K/W - Measured on standard 1 oz Cu FR-4 pad; used to calculate temperature rise (ΔT = Pdiss × RθJA) for layout thermal validation. |
| Package | SOD123FL - 2-terminal surface-mount plastic package (3.0 × 1.9 × 1.0 mm); supports automated placement and reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020. |
Pinout & Package
SOD123FL is a 2-terminal surface-mount package with cathode-indicated marking (band) on one end. The body measures 3.0 mm × 1.9 mm × 1.0 mm, with nominal terminal pitch of 3.2 mm and seated height of 0.99 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in buck topology); must be routed with low-inductance trace for EMI control. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / polarity reference | Marked by band; connects to output rail or ground return; serves as thermal and electrical reference plane in layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage | 0.45 V @ 1 A - Reduces power loss by >30% vs. comparable 1N5819 (VF ≈ 0.6 V), improving efficiency in portable 5 V systems. |
| Fast switching with zero Qrr | Qrr ≈ 0 nC - Eliminates reverse recovery loss and associated ringing, simplifying EMI filter design in SMPS. |
| SOD123FL footprint compatibility | JEDEC-standard 3.0 × 1.9 mm outline - Enables drop-in replacement for legacy SOD-123 parts without PCB redesign. |
| High surge current rating | IFSM = 50 A @ 8.3 ms - Withstands inrush and transient overloads in hot-swap and load-switch applications. |
Applications
| USB Power Delivery Input Protection | 5 V Buck Converter Output Rectification |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Prevents reverse current flow from VBUS into host when external power is disconnected, while minimizing voltage drop during normal operation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional blocking diode placed between USB-C port and system PMIC input. Use Value: 0.45 V VF ensures ≥4.55 V delivered to PMIC at 1 A, meeting USB PD 3.0 minimum VBUS regulation tolerance. | Use Scenario: Rectifies switched node output in non-synchronous buck regulator powering FPGA I/O banks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode conducting during low-side switch off-time. Use Value: Zero Qrr eliminates switching node voltage spikes >10 V, reducing need for snubbers and easing EMI compliance testing. |

Use Scenario: OR-ing diode between primary Li-ion battery and supercapacitor backup supply in wireless sensor nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Automatic power-path selector ensuring seamless switchover without microcontroller intervention. Use Value: 100 µA IR at 125 °C limits self-discharge to <0.1% per day, extending shelf life of sealed units. | Use Scenario: Reverse-polarity and backfeed protection for 12 V lighting loads controlled by low-side MOSFET drivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series protection diode on load supply line, upstream of driver IC. Use Value: 50 A IFSM withstands 12 V battery jump-start transients, preventing latch-up in downstream CAN transceivers. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NSR20F20HT1G | Same 20 V/2 A rating but VF = 0.52 V @ 1 A; RθJA = 135 K/W; SOD-123 package (slightly larger footprint) | Higher VF increases conduction loss by ~16% in 1 A continuous use; less thermally efficient at high ambient | Prefer SL02X where board space and thermal margin are constrained. |
| Vishay VS-2EDH02HM3/85A | 20 V/2 A, VF = 0.42 V @ 1 A, but in SMA package (4.5 × 2.7 mm); higher RθJA = 150 K/W | Lower VF offers marginal efficiency gain, but larger footprint and worse thermal performance limit high-density designs | Prefer SL02X for compact, thermally demanding layouts; choose Vishay only if SMA is already standardized. |
Compared with NSR20F20HT1G and VS-2EDH02HM3/85A, the SL02X delivers optimal balance of low VF (0.45 V), compact SOD123FL footprint, and superior thermal resistance (125 K/W), making it preferred for space-constrained 5 V power rails requiring consistent efficiency above 75 °C ambient.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SL02X?
The SL02X is rated for a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of 150 °C. This rating is validated under specified thermal conditions and must be maintained via proper PCB copper area and ambient temperature control. Derating begins at TA = 75 °C, with linear reduction to zero current at 150 °C ambient when mounted on standard JEDEC test board.
Does SL02X support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, SL02X is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to 260 °C for ≤ 30 seconds. The recommended stencil thickness is 0.1 mm, and the footprint dimensions (4.4 × 2.2 mm) match standard SOD123FL land patterns published in Nexperia's package documentation.
Is SL02X suitable for reverse polarity protection in 12 V automotive circuits?
No - SL02X has a 20 V VR rating, which is insufficient for automotive 12 V systems subject to load dump transients (up to 40 V). It is appropriate only for protected 5 V or 3.3 V subsystems. For full 12 V reverse polarity protection, a 40 V or higher VR Schottky diode such as PDS340-13 is required.
How does SL02X compare to standard PN-junction diodes like 1N4007 in switching applications?
SL02X replaces 1N4007 only in low-voltage, high-frequency applications. Unlike the 1N4007 (1000 V VR, slow recovery), SL02X offers zero reverse recovery charge, 0.45 V VF, and 20 V VR - making it ideal for 5 V buck converters but unsuitable for line-powered rectification or high-voltage blocking.
