Product details
Overview
SRAS820H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a single-die Schottky barrier rectifier in TO-263AB (D2PAK) package, rated for 20 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 8 A average forward current (IF), and 150 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM). It delivers low forward voltage drop (0.55 V at 8 A, 25°C), operates up to 125°C junction temperature, and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use - ideal for reverse battery protection and DC/DC converter freewheeling paths.
For engineers reviewing the SRAS820H datasheet, SRAS820H pinout, SRAS820H application, or SRAS820H equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20 V VRRM, 0.55 V VF at 8 A, 3 °C/W RθJC, AEC-Q101 qualification, and TO-263AB thermal performance - critical for high-efficiency, space-constrained automotive power designs.
Technical Context
The SRAS820H uses a planar Schottky junction structure optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching with no minority-carrier storage. Its 20 V VRRM rating targets low-voltage DC rails where minimal forward drop and high surge robustness are essential.
Thermally, it features a low 3 °C/W junction-to-case resistance and is rated for continuous operation up to 125°C junction temperature, with storage up to 150°C. The device includes a guard ring for overvoltage protection and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.

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-8EWH02-M3 | 20 V VRRM, 8 A IF, 0.52 V VF @ 8 A, TO-263AB, but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable only for industrial/commercial DC/DC converters | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and lowest possible VF is prioritized |
| ON Semiconductor SB820 | 20 V VRRM, 8 A IF, 0.57 V VF @ 8 A, TO-263AB, AEC-Q101 qualified, RθJC = 3.5 °C/W | Slightly higher thermal resistance and forward voltage; identical automotive qualification scope | Choose when supply chain diversification is needed and 0.02 V VF increase is acceptable |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SRAS820H?
The SRAS820H has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +125°C under continuous operation. This rating is validated per AEC-Q101 stress testing and allows full 8 A current capability when case temperature remains ≤110°C. Derating begins above that point, with zero current allowed at 150°C ambient per the forward current derating curve in the datasheet.
Is SRAS820H pin-compatible with other parts in the SRAS8xH family?
Yes, all SRAS8xH devices - including SRAS820H, SRAS830H, and up to SRAS8150H - share identical TO-263AB (D2PAK) mechanical footprint, pinout, and thermal pad layout. Voltage rating differences (20 V to 150 V) do not affect physical compatibility, enabling design reuse across platforms with different bus voltages.
Does SRAS820H require moisture sensitivity handling before reflow?
No. The SRAS820H is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (MSL-1) per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life and does not require dry pack storage or baking prior to reflow soldering - simplifying manufacturing flow and reducing process risk.
What is the typical forward voltage of SRAS820H at 8 A and 125°C junction temperature?
The datasheet specifies VF = 0.55 V maximum at 8 A and 25°C. While no exact value is given at 125°C, the typical forward voltage decreases ~2 mV/°C for Schottky diodes; thus, SRAS820H typically exhibits ~0.45–0.48 V at 8 A and 125°C, confirmed by Fig.4 "Typical Forward Characteristics" curves.
Can SRAS820H be used in place of a standard PN-junction rectifier in a 12 V automotive circuit?
Yes - the SRAS820H replaces standard PN rectifiers in 12 V automotive circuits to reduce power loss and improve efficiency. Its 0.55 V VF cuts conduction loss by ~50% versus a typical 1N5408 (0.95 V), lowering thermal stress and enabling smaller heatsinks. Its AEC-Q101 qualification further validates suitability for under-hood use where PN diodes lack reliability assurance.
