Product details
Overview
SS15H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1A, 50V Schottky barrier surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AC (SMA) package, AEC-Q101 qualified, with 0.75V forward voltage at 1A/25°C, 40A peak surge current, and 150°C maximum junction temperature. It serves as a freewheeling or reverse-battery protection diode in automotive DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the SS15H datasheet, SS15H pinout, SS15H application, or SS15H equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50V VRRM, low VF at high temperature, moisture sensitivity level 1 rating, and DO-214AC mechanical compatibility with automated SMT assembly lines.
Technical Context
The SS15H is a single-die Schottky rectifier optimized for low-loss operation in high-frequency switching power supplies. Its guard ring structure provides overvoltage protection, and its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 28°C/W and RθJA = 88°C/W, supporting continuous 1A conduction up to 150°C junction temperature. Reverse leakage is limited to 200μA at 25°C and 5mA at 100°C under rated 50V reverse bias.

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-1N5819-M3/54 | 20V VRRM, 1A IF, 0.475V VF @ 1A - lower voltage rating, lower VF | Not suitable for 50V systems; limited to ≤20V reverse blocking | Select only for sub-20V applications where ultra-low VF is prioritized over voltage margin |
| ON Semiconductor SB150 | 50V VRRM, 1A IF, 0.72V VF @ 1A - nearly identical electrical specs, same DO-214AC package | Same footprint and function; differs in AEC-Q101 qualification status and thermal resistance (RθJA = 90°C/W) | SB150 offers comparable performance but lacks AEC-Q101 validation; SS15H preferred for automotive production |
Compared with VS-1N5819-M3/54 and SB150, the SS15H uniquely combines 50V blocking, AEC-Q101 qualification, and 28°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance-enabling robust, thermally efficient operation in automotive power rails where reliability and thermal headroom are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of the SS15H?
The SS15H has a VRRM of 50 V, meaning it can reliably block up to 50 volts in reverse bias without breakdown. This rating is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table on page 2 of the B2305 datasheet and applies specifically to the SS15H variant within the SS1xH family. Exceeding this voltage risks irreversible avalanche failure.
Is the SS15H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the SS15H is AEC-Q101 qualified, making it suitable for automotive applications including engine control units, body electronics, and lighting systems. Its 150°C maximum junction temperature, guard ring overvoltage protection, and MSL Level 1 rating align with automotive manufacturing and under-hood environmental requirements. The SS15H datasheet explicitly lists "Car lighting" and "Reverse battery protection" as target applications.
What is the forward voltage (VF) of the SS15H at 1A and 100°C?
The SS15H exhibits a typical forward voltage of 0.65 V at 1A and 100°C, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table on page 2 of the B2305 datasheet. This value is measured under pulse conditions (PW = 0.3ms) and reflects real-world performance in thermally stressed operating conditions such as enclosed automotive modules.
Does the SS15H have a defined moisture sensitivity level (MSL)?
Yes, the SS15H has a moisture sensitivity level of Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has no floor life limitation and may be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without dry-pack requirements. This simplifies handling and eliminates bake-out steps prior to reflow soldering, supporting high-yield automated assembly in volume production.
What package type does the SS15H use, and what are its key mechanical features?
The SS15H uses the DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package, with dimensions per JEDEC DO-214 Variation AC. Key features include a UL 94V-0 flammability-rated molding compound, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, cathode band polarity marking, and a nominal weight of 0.060g. The package outline is documented on page 7 of the B2305 datasheet.
