Product details
Overview
SS14LS from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1A, 40V Schottky barrier surface-mount rectifier in SOD-123HE package, featuring 0.55V forward voltage at 1.0A/25°C, 62pF junction capacitance, 30A peak surge current, and 125°C maximum junction temperature. It serves as a low-loss freewheeling or output rectifier in compact DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the SS14LS datasheet, SS14LS pinout, SS14LS application, or SS14LS equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40V VRRM, low-profile <0.85mm height, moisture sensitivity level 1 rating, RoHS/halogen-free compliance, and suitability for high-efficiency, space-constrained power stages.
Technical Context
The SS14LS operates as a single-die, unidirectional Schottky rectifier with cathode-band polarity indication. Its low forward voltage drop minimizes conduction loss, while its 62pF junction capacitance supports high-frequency switching up to several hundred kHz without excessive capacitive loading.
Thermally, it delivers RθJA = 70°C/W and RθJC = 25°C/W, enabling reliable operation at 1A continuous current within ambient temperatures up to 85°C when mounted on standard PCB copper. The SOD-123HE package meets UL 94V-0 and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semi SS14-E3/5AT | VF = 0.55V @ 1A (same), but VRRM = 40V and package is SOD-123 (not HE variant); RθJA = 75°C/W | Slightly higher thermal resistance; less suited for ultra-thin layouts due to taller profile (~1.1mm) | Preferred where legacy SOD-123 footprint compatibility is required over height constraint |
| Vishay SS14HM3/5BT | VF = 0.52V @ 1A, VRRM = 40V, SOD-123HE package, but MSL Level 2a (requires bake if exposed >1 year) | Lower VF improves efficiency marginally, but moisture sensitivity adds process overhead | Selected when absolute lowest conduction loss is prioritized and bake infrastructure exists |
Compared with SS14LS, SS14-E3/5AT offers identical electrical specs but lacks the ultra-low profile and MSL Level 1 advantage, while SS14HM3/5BT trades 0.03V lower VF for added moisture handling complexity-making SS14LS optimal for high-volume, height-sensitive, no-bake production.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage rating for SS14LS?
The SS14LS has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 40 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value defines the highest reverse-biased voltage the device can block continuously without breakdown. Exceeding 40 V risks irreversible avalanche failure. The SS14LS is therefore suited for 24V–36V nominal output rails where safety margins keep peak transients below this threshold.
Does SS14LS require moisture preconditioning before reflow soldering?
No, SS14LS does not require moisture preconditioning before reflow soldering. It is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/60% RH without baking. This eliminates pre-reflow bake cycles, reduces SMT line downtime, and avoids thermal stress on the die or mold compound-making SS14LS ideal for high-throughput, lead-free reflow processes.
What is the forward voltage of SS14LS at 1.0A and 125°C junction temperature?
The SS14LS forward voltage at 1.0A and 125°C junction temperature is not explicitly published in the datasheet. However, based on typical Schottky behavior and the 0.55V spec at 25°C, VF increases approximately +1.2 mV/°C, yielding ~0.67V at 125°C. For precise thermal design, engineers should consult the Fig.6 Typical Forward Characteristics curve in the SS14LS datasheet, which plots VF across temperature and current.
Can SS14LS replace SS16LS in a 60V-rated circuit?
No, SS14LS cannot replace SS16LS in a 60V-rated circuit. SS14LS has a VRRM of 40 V, while SS16LS is rated for 60 V. Using SS14LS in a 60V application risks reverse-bias breakdown during transients or ripple peaks. The SS14LS is only suitable where maximum reverse voltage remains ≤40 V. For 60V systems, SS16LS-or another 60V+ Schottky-is required to maintain reliability and safety margin.
Is SS14LS halogen-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, SS14LS is both halogen-free and RoHS compliant. Per the manufacturer's documentation, it conforms to IEC 61249-2-21 for halogen content and meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS 2) for restricted substances. These certifications are verified through material declarations and third-party testing, supporting environmental compliance in consumer, industrial, and medical-adjacent end equipment.
