Product details
Overview
SS12HR3G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1A, 20V Schottky barrier surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AC (SMA) package, featuring 0.50 V forward voltage at 1A/25°C, 40A peak surge current, and junction temperature rating up to +125°C. It serves as a low-loss output rectifier in compact AC/DC adapters and DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the SS12HR3G datasheet, SS12HR3G pinout, SS12HR3G application, or SS12HR3G equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage drop at operating temperature, reverse leakage at rated VRRM, thermal resistance (RθJL = 28°C/W), and compatibility with automated SMT placement per J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Technical Context
The SS12HR3G implements a single-die Schottky junction optimized for high-efficiency, low-voltage rectification. Its 20V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) and 14V RMS reverse voltage define its use in secondary-side outputs of low-input-voltage SMPS topologies.
With 0.50 V typical forward voltage at 1A/25°C and 0.40 V at 100°C, it delivers stable conduction loss across industrial temperature range. The guard ring structure provides overvoltage protection, while matte tin-plated leads ensure reliable solderability per J-STD-002.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VRRM | 20 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets upper limit for output rail voltage in adapter designs |
| IF | 1 A - Continuous average forward current; defines steady-state power delivery capability |
| VF @ 1A, 25°C | 0.50 V max - Directly determines conduction loss (0.5 W at 1A); critical for thermal budget in sealed enclosures |
| IFSM | 40 A - Peak surge current for 8.3 ms half-sine; supports inrush handling in offline input stages |
| RθJL | 28 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; enables direct heatsinking via PCB copper pour under cathode pad |
| IR @ 20V, 25°C | 200 μA max - Reverse leakage at rated voltage; impacts standby power in energy-efficient adapters |
| TJ max | +125 °C - Maximum operating junction temperature; constrains ambient derating in high-density layouts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS12H-E3/5AT (Vishay) | VRRM = 20 V, VF = 0.52 V max @ 1A/25°C, RθJA = 90°C/W | Slightly higher thermal resistance; same DO-214AC footprint | Preferred where Vishay qualification or alternate sourcing is required; identical mounting and layout |
| SB120-TB (ON Semiconductor) | VRRM = 20 V, VF = 0.55 V max @ 1A/25°C, IR = 500 μA max @ 20V/25°C | Higher reverse leakage limits ultra-low-standby designs | Acceptable for cost-sensitive general-purpose supplies where leakage <200 μA is not mandated |
Compared with SS12HR3G, SS12H-E3/5AT offers near-identical electrical performance and mechanical fit, while SB120-TB trades lower cost for higher leakage-making SS12HR3G optimal for energy-efficient adapter designs requiring tight standby power control.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SS12HR3G?
The SS12HR3G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +125°C. This value is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies under continuous operation at rated current. Derating is required above 25°C ambient per the Forward Current Derating Curve in the datasheet. Thermal design must ensure the SS12HR3G junction stays within this limit to maintain reliability and parametric stability.
Does SS12HR3G have a halogen-free and RoHS-compliant construction?
Yes, the SS12HR3G is both halogen-free and RoHS compliant, as explicitly stated in the FEATURES section of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version R2305). The molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and terminals are matte tin plated per J-STD-002. These attributes make SS12HR3G suitable for environmentally regulated electronics markets including EU and China RoHS zones.
What is the forward voltage of SS12HR3G at 1A and 100°C?
The SS12HR3G exhibits a typical forward voltage of 0.40 V at 1A and 100°C, as confirmed in the ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS table. This lower VF compared to room-temperature operation reflects the positive temperature coefficient of Schottky diodes and directly improves conduction efficiency in thermally stressed environments such as enclosed adapters or high-ambient industrial DC/DC converters using SS12HR3G.
Is SS12HR3G suitable for automated SMT assembly?
Yes, SS12HR3G is designed for automated placement and reflow soldering. It carries J-STD-020 Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 rating, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/60% RH and processed using standard Pb-free reflow profiles without pre-baking. Its DO-214AC (SMA) package geometry and matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 solderability requirements, ensuring high first-pass yield in high-volume SS12HR3G assembly lines.
What does the "R3G" suffix in SS12HR3G indicate?
The "R3G" suffix in SS12HR3G denotes Taiwan Semiconductor's green-compliant packaging variant: "R" indicates tape-and-reel packaging (7,500 units per reel), "3" specifies the DO-214AC (SMA) package, and "G" signifies halogen-free and RoHS-compliant materials. This coding aligns with TSC's standardized ordering nomenclature documented in the ORDERING INFORMATION section of the SS12–SS115 datasheet.
