Product details
Overview
SS13M from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1A, 30V Schottky barrier surface-mount rectifier in Micro SMA package, featuring 0.52V forward voltage at 1.0A/25°C, 25A surge rating, and 150°C max junction temperature. It serves as a low-loss output rectifier in compact DC-DC converters and AC adapters.
For engineers reviewing the SS13M datasheet, SS13M pinout, SS13M application, or SS13M equivalent, key selection criteria include its 30V VRRM, ultra-low profile (0.68mm height), JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, RoHS/halogen-free compliance, and Micro SMA thermal performance (RθJL = 30°C/W).
Technical Context
The SS13M operates as a single-die Schottky rectifier with unidirectional conduction and cathode-band polarity marking. Its low VF enables high efficiency in 1A-level switching power supplies, while its 25A IFSM supports transient load surges in SMPS outputs.
Thermally, it uses matte tin-plated leads per J-STD-002 and achieves RθJA = 125°C/W in standard PCB mounting. The device is rated for -55°C to +150°C operation and meets UL 94V-0 flammability requirements in its Micro SMA molding compound.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS13 (DO-214AC/SMA) | Same electrical specs but larger DO-214AC (SMA) package; 1.7mm height vs. Micro SMA's 0.68mm | Not suitable for ultra-thin designs; requires more PCB area and higher thermal resistance (RθJA ≈ 150°C/W) | Select SS13 only when legacy footprint compatibility or higher surge margin is required over height constraint. |
| SB130 (DO-214AA/SMB) | 1A/30V Schottky but SMB package; 25A IFSM, 0.55V VF @ 1A, RθJA = 130°C/W | Larger footprint than Micro SMA; slightly higher VF increases conduction loss in high-duty-cycle operation | Choose SB130 when existing SMB land pattern exists and 0.68mm height is not critical. |
Compared with SS13 and SB130, the SS13M delivers identical 30V/1A performance in a 60% lower profile package with superior thermal coupling (RθJL = 30°C/W), making it optimal for next-gen miniaturized power supplies where board height and thermal density are limiting factors.

FAQ
What is the peak repetitive reverse voltage rating of the SS13M?
The SS13M has a peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 30 V, verified per Taiwan Semiconductor's O2103 datasheet. This defines its maximum allowable reverse-bias voltage in continuous operation. Exceeding 30 V risks avalanche breakdown. The SS13M is part of a family where "x" denotes voltage grade: SS13M = 30V, SS14M = 40V, SS16M = 60V.
What is the forward voltage drop of the SS13M at 1.0A and 25°C?
The SS13M exhibits a typical forward voltage (VF) of 0.52 V at 1.0A and 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table of the official datasheet. At 125°C, this drops to 0.46 V due to the negative temperature coefficient of Schottky diodes. This low VF directly reduces conduction losses in the SS13M compared to standard PN rectifiers.
Is the SS13M compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the SS13M features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 for solderability and is qualified for lead-free reflow profiles. Its J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level is Level 1, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/60% RH and placed directly into reflow without baking-fully supporting modern SMT assembly lines using Pb-free SAC305 or similar alloys.
What package type does the SS13M use, and how does it differ from standard SMA?
The SS13M uses the Micro SMA package-a miniature variant of SMA (DO-214AC) with reduced height (0.68mm typical vs. 2.3mm for standard SMA) and tighter dimensional tolerances. It retains the same anode/cathode pin configuration and polarity marking (cathode band), but its smaller footprint and lower profile enable use in ultra-thin power supplies where board height is constrained.
Does the SS13M meet halogen-free and RoHS requirements?
Yes, the SS13M is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as confirmed in the FEATURES section of Taiwan Semiconductor's SS13M–SS16M datasheet (Version O2103). The molding compound contains no brominated flame retardants or chlorine-based additives, satisfying environmental regulations for consumer, industrial, and telecom end equipment.
