Product details
Overview
SS16LS from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1A, 60V Schottky barrier surface-mount rectifier in SOD-123HE package, featuring 0.70V forward voltage at 1.0A/25°C, 48pF 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 SS16LS datasheet, SS16LS pinout, SS16LS application, or SS16LS equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60V VRRM, low-profile SOD-123HE footprint (<0.85mm height), moisture sensitivity level 1 rating, RoHS/halogen-free compliance, and thermal resistance (RθJA = 70°C/W).
Technical Context
The SS16LS uses a single-die Schottky junction optimized for high-efficiency switching applications. Its 60V reverse blocking capability and 0.70V forward drop at rated current enable reduced conduction losses versus standard PN diodes in 24–48V input DC-DC stages.
Thermally, it supports operation up to 125°C junction temperature with RθJC = 25°C/W and RθJA = 70°C/W. The SOD-123HE package features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing.

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 SS16HE | VF = 0.75V @ 1A (vs. 0.70V); same SOD-123HE package and 60V rating | Slightly higher conduction loss; identical thermal and layout compatibility | Preferred where ON Semi sourcing is mandated; verify VF impact on thermal budget |
| Vishay VS-1EQH06-M3/5AT | 60V VRRM, 1A IF, but in SMA package (higher profile, 2.2mm vs. 0.85mm) | Requires PCB footprint redesign; higher RθJA (~100°C/W) limits power density | Only suitable when SOD-123HE is unavailable; expect +15°C junction rise at same current |
Compared with SS16HE and VS-1EQH06-M3/5AT, the SS16LS delivers the lowest forward voltage in its class within the ultra-low-profile SOD-123HE package, making it optimal for thermally constrained, space-limited adapter and DC-DC designs where 0.85mm height is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SS16LS?
The SS16LS has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of 125°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value applies under continuous DC forward current conditions and must be respected in thermal design. Derating curves in the datasheet show allowable current reduction above 25°C ambient, and operation beyond 125°C risks irreversible parametric shift or failure. The SS16LS is not rated for 150°C operation-only higher-voltage variants like SS115LS carry that rating.
Does SS16LS have a documented moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating?
Yes, the SS16LS is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it is not moisture-sensitive and does not require dry-packaging or baking prior to surface-mount reflow. This simplifies handling in automated assembly lines and eliminates floor-life tracking. The SOD-123HE package construction and molding compound contribute to this robust MSL classification, confirmed in the Mechanical Data section of the official TSC datasheet.
What is the forward voltage specification for SS16LS at 1.0A and 25°C?
The SS16LS exhibits a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 0.70 V at IF = 1.0 A and TJ = 25°C, as stated in the Electrical Specifications table under "MAX" column. This value is measured using pulse test conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) to minimize self-heating. At higher junction temperatures (e.g., 125°C), VF decreases slightly due to Schottky physics, but system-level design should use the 25°C max value for worst-case loss calculation.
Is SS16LS compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the SS16LS features matte tin-plated leads qualified per J-STD-002 for solderability, supporting both SnPb and lead-free (e.g., SAC305) reflow profiles. Its SOD-123HE package is rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C, consistent with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 requirements. No special pre-baking or flux selection is needed beyond standard lead-free SMT guidelines.
What is the junction capacitance (CJ) of SS16LS and how is it measured?
The SS16LS has a typical junction capacitance (CJ) of 48 pF, measured at 1 MHz and VR = 4.0 V with a 50 mVp-p signal, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. This parameter reflects the diode's capacitive behavior under reverse bias and directly influences high-frequency switching noise and snubber design. Lower CJ versus higher-voltage variants (e.g., 28 pF for SS110LS) confirms the trade-off between blocking voltage and speed in the SS1xLS family.
