Product details
Overview
SS14-6HE3_A/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier rated for 40 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 1.0 A average forward current, and 40 A non-repetitive surge current, with 0.50 V typical forward voltage at 1.0 A - used in DC/DC converters, freewheeling diode circuits, and polarity protection in automotive and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SS14-6HE3_A/I datasheet, SS14-6HE3_A/I pinout, SS14-6HE3_A/I application, or SS14-6HE3_A/I equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, DO-214AC (SMA) package, low VF, high dV/dt capability (10,000 V/μs), and thermal resistance (RθJA = 88 °C/W).
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses a planar guardring structure to enhance overvoltage robustness and suppress leakage under transient conditions. Its low forward voltage drop and fast switching speed stem from metal–semiconductor junction design optimized for high-frequency operation up to several hundred kHz.
It operates across -65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 with 260 °C peak reflow profile. The device is single-diode configuration with cathode indicated by color band and matte tin-plated leads compliant with JESD 22-B102 solderability standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in polarity protection and flyback clamp circuits |
| IF(AV) | 1.0 A - continuous forward current rating at TL; determines heatsink-free operation on PCB with 5 mm × 5 mm copper pad |
| VF @ 1.0 A | 0.50 V - low conduction loss enabling >92 % efficiency in 5 V–12 V DC/DC output stages |
| IFSM | 40 A - peak surge rating for 8.3 ms half-sine; supports inrush and fault-current handling in SMPS inputs |
| dV/dt | 10,000 V/μs - high voltage transient immunity; prevents false turn-on during fast-switching MOSFET gate drive transitions |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - extended junction temperature enables use in under-hood automotive modules without derating |
| RθJA | 88 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to ambient; sets power dissipation limit of ~1.14 W at 75 °C ambient |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AC (SMA), surface-mount, single-diode configuration with cathode identified by molded color band. Dimensions: 4.93 mm × 2.54 mm × 2.29 mm (L × W × H); weight 0.064 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in buck converter or ground return in reverse polarity protection) |
| Cathode | Forward current exit point / reverse blocking terminal | Marked with color band; tied to higher-potential rail (e.g., input VBUS or output rail); blocks reverse current flow above 40 V |
Key Features

| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including HTGB, HTRB, and TCT |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Enables standard SMT reflow without moisture sensitivity concerns; no baking required before assembly |
| Low VF and high IFSM synergy | Delivers low conduction loss while sustaining high-energy surges - critical for compact, high-efficiency power stages |
| Matte tin plating | Ensures reliable solder joint formation per J-STD-002; compatible with lead-free and SnPb processes |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-connected protection diode on main power input before LDO or PMIC. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification ensures long-term reliability in unattended deployments; low IR (0.2 mA @ 40 V) minimizes standby leakage. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NSS14300HT1G | Same DO-214AC package, 40 V VRRM, but VF = 0.55 V @ 1.0 A; RθJA = 90 °C/W; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Suitable for commercial-grade DC/DC converters but not automotive environments requiring AEC-Q101 validation | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification needs and 0.05 V higher VF is acceptable |
| Diodes Incorporated SB140-E3/52T | Same 40 V/1.0 A rating, VF = 0.52 V @ 1.0 A, RθJA = 85 °C/W; AEC-Q101 qualified; different marking and tape/reel code (52T vs. I) | Drop-in replacement in layout and function; identical thermal and electrical performance with minor packaging logistics variance | Preferred for dual-sourcing where same-spec AEC-Q101 compliance and DO-214AC footprint are mandatory |
Compared with NSS14300HT1G and SB140-E3/52T, SS14-6HE3_A/I offers the lowest VF (0.50 V), validated AEC-Q101 compliance, and consistent 88 °C/W thermal resistance - making it optimal for thermally constrained automotive and industrial designs demanding highest efficiency and reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SS14-6HE3_A/I?
The SS14-6HE3_A/I has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +150 °C, allowing operation in high-ambient environments such as under-hood automotive locations or enclosed industrial enclosures without forced cooling. This rating is validated per AEC-Q101 stress testing and supports full IF(AV) = 1.0 A derating up to that temperature when mounted on specified 5 mm × 5 mm copper pads.
Is SS14-6HE3_A/I RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, SS14-6HE3_A/I is RoHS-compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and meets Vishay's material categorization standard (document #99912). The "HE3" suffix confirms both RoHS compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification. It is also halogen-free, with brominated flame retardants and chlorine content below threshold limits defined in IEC 61249-2-21.
What does the "I" suffix mean in SS14-6HE3_A/I?
The "I" in SS14-6HE3_A/I denotes the preferred package code for 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, containing 7500 units per reel. This differs from "H", which indicates 7-inch tape and reel (1800 units). Both share identical electrical, thermal, and mechanical specifications - only packaging and quantity differ.
Can SS14-6HE3_A/I be used as a direct replacement for SS14-E3/5AT?
SS14-6HE3_A/I and SS14-E3/5AT share identical electrical characteristics, DO-214AC package, and AEC-Q101 qualification. The only differences are reel size (13″ vs. 7″), quantity (7500 vs. 7500 - note: SS14-E3/5AT is actually 7500 units per 13″ reel per Vishay doc #88746), and tape type. No PCB or schematic changes are needed; they are functionally and mechanically interchangeable.
What is the typical reverse leakage current of SS14-6HE3_A/I at 100 °C?
The SS14-6HE3_A/I exhibits a maximum DC reverse current (IR) of 6.0 mA at rated VDC = 40 V and TA = 100 °C. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of Vishay document #88746 and reflects worst-case leakage under elevated temperature - critical for low-power standby circuits where leakage must remain within microampere budgets.
